focusing on applying a wet enamel on a flat surface,
then after it is fired, we will roll it onto our core
bead.

Day 1: We will be creating our own, one of a
kind small glass paintings. We will learn how
different brushes create different effects, and
how to sign your name on your work.

to create beautiful pieces of art. We
will practice this and get comfortable
with the amount of heat we need to apply
the tile painting.

my view


I am sitting in my studio, at my desk looking out onto my house. It is a very sweet set-up. Not many windows at my studio, but the view from my desk is great. Late at night, if I am working at the computer, I can see the flickering light of the electric fireplace shine through the windows. A warmth comes across my heart knowing that everyone is home safe and sound. I just got back from the post office, and now I am about to light my torch, so that the beautiful flickering light of the torch will warm up my face. I love this view, I know it is silly to like looking at this building, but my family lives in there, and I do love them so.

Ebay anyone?

I have decided to try Ebay once again. I am still in Denver and enjoying the fantastic warm weather here. I am all bundled in a 2 shirts, a bra, a wool sweater and a sweatshirt, plus a scarf, jeans, knee socks and boots, just to stay warm in the convention center. Outside it is a lovely 77 degrees. Last night, I took pictures of a few tiki's but only had time to get one up on ebay. Please check it out, I didn't have a ruler to measure the piece, so I a timely method of measurement by money size. I didn't have a quarter (the normal method of measurement) so I chose a dime. Enjoy

Trip to Denver. My view through coffee stained eyes.

Yep, I am on the road once again. This time to Denver. One exciting thing about Denver, is that you never know what the weather will be like. It can be hot (1 mile up, closer to the sun), or freezing in feet of snow. This trip has been wet




and cold


and fun. Here are a few of the stops I made along the way. Enjoy!





Ft. Craig, NM

















Raton, NM








Trinidad, Co.









Near Pueblo Co.









And the Convention Center in Denver.

Outside my window


This morning I saw this beautiful helicopter just outside my window. I was snapping pictures while in just my underware. I could see the guys inside the cab very well. I am now guessing they could also see me. …

I am on the 9th floor

Road trip day 3


A bit late posting, sorry folks
L. A. …… People know how to drive here. They are pretty friendly on the road. The highway was slo-go for awhile, but not bad. Once out of L. A. It is a different story. CRAZY ! Ah-Yes, freeway driving is always an experience. One might say, an out-of-body one. But, stay alert... You never know what might happen. Waaaaaa! ( I am sounding like the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland....the happest place on earth)
