New Colors


In the past month I have: celebrated my grandfather's 90th birthday with family from all corners of the USA; come down with the flu and beat it back into submission; gone aggressively apartment hunting and found a new place; signed up for a bicycle ride out to Montauk Point, a half share of a CSA project, and also bought tickets for the music festival that I attend each summer. Needless to say, I've been busy.

I still find time to squeeze my glass work in, though I don't always have a chance to take pretty pictures. But I ordered some shiny new glass colors, and here are some examples of them for your viewing pleasure! The ones I'm most excited about are called Penumbra (by Trautmann Art Glass) which appears in the bluish-gray flower and also the green dots, Butterscotch (by Northstar) which is the background on the light orangey spiral and the blue flower, and Double Amber Purple, which I don't believe appears in any of these. Other colors I got include Red Elvis, Double Mai Tai, Purple Urple, Bright Blue, and Apricot.

These pendants will soon be posted on Etsy. I'm itchin' to practice my reticello technique, so perhaps that will comprise the next update!
