3 New Summer Glass Goodies!

Yesterday was pretty productive in my studio, despite the heat and looming running-out-of-gases threat (I'm a worrier, but see I'm working on it! :D )  To top off that productivity, I actually photographed the new goodies this afternoon, wow! I know, it's really not that difficult, but for a procrastinator that gets distracted by all the shiny things, foodstuffs and electronics, this is an accomplishment for me.  Behold three of my newest summer jujees:

Beach Scene Shell Pendant

Green and Blue Sparkly Flower Implosion Shell  Sea Turtle

Orange and Purple Dragonfly Pendant

New designs on the way, so stay tuned.  I know these are a few of my traditionally awesome designs, but I have some new tricks up my sleeve... ;)

(Edited: Blogger made my pics darker with "Auto-Enhance" unbeknownst to me, so I had to re-upload them after turning that feature off)

Tide Pool Challenge! (Glass Art from the FD Group)

Right now the Fire Divas July challenge is going on, this month's theme being "Tide Pool." There are some really fantastic beads entered into this one, so you know us Fire Divas are excited.  Even though it's a bit of a competition each month we hold it, we are all glass fans at heart and love to see what everyone is up to in such a talented group.

Voting ends tomorrow! Please vote for your favorite entry on the right side of the Fire Divas blog and leave a comment there to be entered to win a $20 gift certificate from ME!

Sunday Show-Off: August 22nd, 2010

Two blog posts in one day?  Ridiculous!  Now if I could get you to read both... then that would really be something :)

Today I'd like to showcase my new summery beach goodies, with my favorite first:

My newest beach bead, Beach Scene Shell Pendant

Then, my new whale tail pendant (my Sealife Series):

 

Whale Tail Pendant

And lastly (part of my Botanicals Series):

 

New Palm Tree Pendant

The palm tree is the only one listed for now, but after I measure the others they'll get on Artfire too.  I just wanted to share them with you guys and gals first!  See you again soon!

Beach Weather Ahoy!

It's that time of year again folks: Beach weather, picnic time, blue skies and nice days that you can spend outside enjoying the quiet beauty of nature.  It's a great time of year, and the mornings especially lend themselves well to outdoor exploration and tourism. Make sure you soak up some sun, but don't forget the sunblock.  Here's a final goodbye to my beach scene pendant I've had on display for a while that was purchased this past weekend, and went to a good home as a gift.

Well, now that means I have to make another one, and I have just the idea...
