2011 Holiday goodies

This is one of several table top angels that will be included in the 2011 Holiday goodies. I found that many times people are looking for the table top items verses the sun catchers. Each of this years group will be holding either a musical instruments or some other little adornment

Still have to make a rope of twisted wire to make the halo.

Panel for my daughter's home



Just designed this piece to affix to the inside of the front doors of my daughters 100 year old victorian duplex.

The doors are of the same period and still have the original hardware and the beveled edge sheet glass.


The blue I will be using will be more of a colonial blue.


Will have to hunt through my inventory when the time comes. I do like the texture of the english muffle, but couldn't find the shade I want.

Getting ready for the holiday season






Been working on a few new items to add to the inventory for the holiday show season.




Here is this years version of my pocket mirror. This one is done with textured glass that I hand painted. I supply a small pouch to house the mirror.





I also make them in different colored glass and attach a cute dimensional item, like a kitten, or bow or such. They make cute little stocking stuffers.





I have also been making several different sized 3-d beveled stars. This one is about 7 1/2" long. I make them in varying sizes from 3 1/2" to 13 1/2"and several different colors.

They sparkle in the sun, and fill the room with a prism of colors.

Hard to believe that I have to start thinking about the holidays when I had to run the a/c today. But that will change by the weekend, supposed to be down in the 40's over night for several days.
