At Home

At home . . .

For and indefinite time we are home bound to avoid Covid-19 version of the Corona Virus. As a retired introvert, I am used to being alone and spend a lot of time at home. I really enjoy listening to podcasts and books while I work on glass projects. Soon it will be warm enough to get outside and tend to my gardens and bees. It does feel weird to have all activities cancelled for the next month.

Here is a project that I just finished -

The lampworked glass poppies, made from various shades of red, are on wires that are attached to the copper pipe. The pipe was then covered with florist tape to cover it and the attaching wires. It's around 9 inches long and each end has a loop to hang it either vertically or horizontally. 

This fresh poppy wall art would brighten any small area and is for sale on my Etsy site.

Keeping the kilns warm,

March -Flowers & Earrings

I have been working on some new earring ideas in the last week.

I enjoy coming up with new ideas. Here are some blue flowers that have been made into earrings.



Here are some that I'm excited about. They are clear with a red base and hollow to make sure they don't get too heavy for earrings. I have been wearing them since they came out of the kiln this morning and love them.

Today was a very sun filled day with blue skies. The sun was streaming in through the window and it offered a wonderful chance to take a few photos. I've been working on a new flower ring and it looked lovely with the sun shining through it even though it was a cold day in Wisconsin.

Keeping the kiln warm,
