I made a series of fused glass decorated, lidded mugs for Christmas gifts. I use my own for salt on my kitchen shelf.

Entry 3

My sister-in-law lost 2 of her adult children in the past year. She asked me to make cremain heart moments for her family members. Working with ash is tricky. I made dozens of hearts (all unique) to get enough passable hearts for the family. The reject hearts will be placed among her gardens, as occasional reminders of her children when she is out gardening.

Entry 4

I made a series of fused glass hearts on request. I wrapped them in wire (a new task for me). This one was my favorite.

Entry 4 fused glass: This was a fun project. I made the heartline with my vitrigraph kiln and then shaped it using a torch. My daughter is a nurse and her husband is a PA.

Shield I made for a knight costume for my co- worker's son. Cut wood and hand painted design. The metal center piece is an attachment that I re-purposed from a garage sale find.View attachment 4186725

Best-dressed knight in the neighborhood!

Lol he actually was!! I made his costume as well but I only had pics of him wearing it none by the costume itself...otherwise I would have shown the whole get up.

We keep honeybees. I have a thread about our journey here. I love your hives.

It's a lot of fun. I'll have to figure out how to stack and pull for the bees, super cute.
