Brand new site, brand new blog..

Hello!  I've been working today on this site, as well as getting items ready for my next market.  Along with updating the Glass Guild's website.  Crazy, crazy days.  My kiln's been going for 10 days or so straight.  Sigh, if only I didn't have to sleep, or have a day job.  But, until such a time as those things aren't a necessity...onward.

I've changed my web editing to another place because I've been frustrated with my last one.  Long story.  This one meets most of my needs, for now.  I also am not taking the time to move my old blog (copperglassworks.blogspot.com) and since I  haven't posted to it in awhile anyway, probably not worth the effort.  If you want to see the fruits of my labors during  my glass drawing challenge earlier this year, that's where they are.

Anyway---here's what is in the kiln right now, getting ready to be prepped for the next step.  I've got  a whole mess of coldworking to to, along with a full tray of firepolishing and some slumping, and with any luck, I'll have a bunch of new pieces ready by next Sunday for the Orenco Market. Gotta get back to it!!  Hope to see many of you there!!

So Remiss...

I have been so  remiss in getting posts and new work to the website lately.  I've been crazy busy with new pieces, working on the Glass Guild website, my actual day job, getting my new house in order, growing tomatoes (ick - that's a long story - ask me about it) and more things beyond those that my poor website has suffered.  Right now I'm in the midst of packing up the car to go to Salem to set up for the State Fair for the next few days.  Here's a handful of what's been going on:

Dragon Plate

"Artist" tile - I  have three colors!

Platinum Cobble Bubble Plate

Guitar Tile

And I'm not gonna lie, the cold shop is a small disaster right now, with lots of pendants in various stages of completion:

 

As I'm prepping for another show, I hope to see some of you there.  Next up: Oregon State Fair.  We'll be in the Artisan's Village until August 30th.  And then we'll be - oh, here's where we'll be for the next few shows:

We do have another market scheduled, but the last time we were scheduled to attend, we went out there and there was no market, so I'm not planning on it until I hear from the market manager.  I'm hopeful that it will still work out.

Hope to see you at an event soon!
