New hearts in time for Halloween!

As we near that wonderful fall time of year, I have prepared a few new anatomical hearts for our upcoming shows. I have a few variations on my favorite style including some special dark red veins and some sparkly blue veins. I am making a few different sizes now for different preferences. Please check out my Etsy shop to see which ones are currently listed.  Thanks! :)

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)

Tomorrow: Olive and Wine Faire!

Come see us! I'd mention more about it but the flyer says it all, at least the important stuff.  Plus I just finished a piece that literarily took hours to make and I need a walk now! :-)

RARE SALE: 25% OFF Through September 14th!

Well, some shows are expensive to apply for.  Some are cheaper, but those are not the issue today. ;)  I'm trying to save up for our annual big show before Christmas, but am having a little trouble raising funds, so it's your golden opportunity to score some of my best work for the lowest prices I've offered them: Our shop's first discount of the year (I usually don't discount my art, as it isn't totally fair to our patrons who pay normal price), and it's going to last until September 14th.  I know, it's going to be hard to part with my clownfish pendant that took around two hours of sweat and tears for around $39, but it's for a good reason, and I can try to make another one before the busy season gets underway, hopefully. :)   So today is the first day of the sale, and below is the fruits of my "Labor," so check out this gorgeous art glass clownfish pendant while it's on sale in our Artfire Shop:

Have a great evening, and please, by all means, email, retweet and share this link!  We appreciate you gals and guys spreading our names as far and wide as you have already, and always welcome more word of mouth. :)
Thanks again!

100th Post, and Lavender Festival!!!

Wow, my 100th post! :)  This is a nice milestone for a blog, especially with so many abandoned ones on the web, it's nice that this one is still kicking. Thanks for sticking around!! ;)

This is a hit-and-run type celebration, however, as I still have tons of work to do before this weekend, when we wrap up the Lavender Festival with its second weekend.  Paul and I are excited because this festival is run by awesome people and full of excellent lavender goodies (lavender: ice cream, margaritas, brisket, beer, iced tea, sweet buns, just tons of unique lavender dishes).  Definitely coming back next year!  Here's a photo of some of my lavender pendants, and a link to the festival's website.  And Facebook.  Cheers!
