Blast From the Past

I just discovered this post that apparently was left in draft form. When I first started working in glass it was stained glass. This was a window I made ...about 35 years ago in trade with a friend for some tile work. I'll post some more of my old stained glass work in the next few weeks. I think I got the better deal but I realize that his handy work was his art and in many ways a gift of his talent. Although my gift to him was made from a pattern, it too was a labor of love. I didn't know then that my passion for glass would grow and that fusion would capture my heart.

My Last Seder Plate

 My seder plate mold dropped off the shelf....oops!

At first I was seriously bummed. I love making seder plates. Now I have decided to work with a ceramic artist to create a new mold (maybe two?) that will allow me to go in some new directions.

The last seder plate I made. It was a comssion for a seder plate. a matzah tray, and a yahrzeit candle holder

I have several projects lined up before I can get back to  seder plates. Some don't involve glass, so it may be awhile before I can post again. 

It's the holiday season...so sending out good wishes to all for whatever holidays you celebrate!

May the New Year bring us all much joy!

I'm back in the Studio!

 

After so many months of recovery, I am finally back to working in my studio.

I have a couple of big projects waiting for me, but I wanted to launch into my work with some projects that were more playful. Sitting down is not the best position for me when cutting glass so I wanted to do smaller projects that limited how much time I spent standing.

These are my newest garden stakes....something to add a little joy outside. Both sold right away, so I will make a few more before starting the tryptich I have been planning. More about that in my next posting.
