Work in Progress

Winter has hit with a vengeance here. Cold and snow.
My bees are now hive bound.
One day last week it was sunny and 40 degrees and a few ventured out of the hive -
 

I have had some glass failures recently and needed to complete something that I felt good about.

Sunflowers.

I always feel happy making sunflower suncatchers.

Sunflowers always make me happy.


I also worked on some enamels on float glass. I love the colors, but the edges are wonky and I'm not sure how to fix them in order to slump into a mold.


I have created a bunch of beads and created bracelets with them.

I have worked on these garden stakes and love the design.

I'm currently working on another green one.
