A tiny lil lopsoded pink bud vase.
Gotta start somewhere. 🩷

A fresh run of bisqueware. I've spent the afternoon sanding and rinsing each piece. Once they dry, it's time for glazing!

Learning little by little. This is a couple of months worth of tinkering since this summer has been a whirlwind. 🌬

The end of an era. 🖤🦇

I've never been a huge follower (being the theater lover that I am), but I have healthy acknowledgment for a lengthy and storied career.

Let's do some painting. 🎼🖤 #ozzy

That is a great idea! I don't know that it would work for this particular glass but I'll keep it in mind for the future. Thanks!

Queen and priest...
Trace of rouge...

Faces!

Take your turn, take a ride on
The merry-go-round in an inhuman race!"

Masquerade

What do we think? With facial features or no?

I keep a small sketchbook of the various roles performed by our theater loving child. Perhaps someday it will be a treasured keepsake of these precious years. It was time to get caught up!

Learning to work with clay and (subsequently) glazes is a humbling experience. This is turning into an endeavor that insists on waiting.

There's beauty in the journey and the learning and the failures. Thanks for coming along with me. 🫶

This ol' chap is finally foiled and picked up a twin along the way. I'm playing with facial features using enamel paints, so we have one with and one without features. 🎼🌹

Learning day by day.
Drying here. Bisque firing there.

Glazes and their strange chemistry learning curve.

So thankful for the chance to learn and fail and grow.

Been waiting on a sunny day to post this like...👵🌧

There is a pale yellow and a very light lavender in her. Stained Glass is just really hard to photograph due to how dynamic it can be. 🫶

Curiouser and Curiouser.
Experiments with clay.

Took some time to make a panel for our kitchen window. The afternoon sun is punchy (especially this time of year) and it sure does add a touch of hygge to the space.

There may be at least one more mandala.
I do love this this turned out! Wonderful pattern by BirchGlass via Etsy.

I can’t wait to see this beautiful piece in full light!

Stained glass is such an interesting art—you carefully choose colors and their placement, hoping they’ll shine just as you envisioned once the sun touches them.

There’s probably a lovely metaphor in there somewhere.💗😅

Thank you so much!

Imagine meeting the love of your life while telling a tale as epic as Hadestown.

A huge congratulations to Eva and Reeve on their engagement! 🫶❤️

I have a purse on which I plan to paint a scene.

I am without ideas.
Help?

Last year, I posted the first image for Chinese New Year
when I was at the start of my stained glass journey.

While updating the shop today, I stumbled upon this old piece,
and it’s really neat to see what can come of a year of practice.

A photo of seven painted energy cards (from the Pokemon TCG) featuring Pokemon in limited palettes. In order, they are: Lapras/Duskull fusion OC; shiny Alolan Ninetales; Lucario; Bulbasaur; Pikachu; shiny Furret; and Sableye.

More Posca Pokemon cards! 🙌

Why does everything go smoothly until my partner is out of town? Nothing consequential happens at all until just HOURS after departure.

The drain hose came off of the washer and FLOODED the laundry room and hallway.

I need an adultier adult 'cause this is for the birds....umm, fishes.

That's not very considerate. Whataturdmove.

Wizards need rest too

Hey, lovely people! ✨

I’ve just added some of my latest glass creations to my Etsy shop, in case any of you are interested! No pressure at all—just wanted to share them with you!

Exactly. Nothing can shift without a solid plan of action and it feels like no one has one. We are all just shouting into the void with no real idea what to do with the frustration.
