So touchy.

I had this plate out at a show last weekend and close to 90% of the people that stopped, touched it.

Sometimes, I'll have a piece out that has a texture and I haven't thought much about people touching those.

But this is just smooth glass - so, I was kind of surprised.

Then one woman told me she was checking to see if the clear spaces were holes.

Another lady (who hadn't touched it) mentioned that stuff might fall through the holes...

So I think they were all checking on the same thing.

Floral Frames

July has been a busy month! I did two shows this month. And even though they were one day shows, there was a lot of prep work to be done.

I made quite a few frames for the shows. Above are four frames featuring florals. :)

Smoky Amethyst

Here are some pieces from my 'smoky amethyst' color scheme phase. The square bowls on the ends are 5" square x .5" deep. The candle bridge (center) is 5" x 8" x 2" approx.

Color Schemes

Sometimes, when I start working with a new sheet of glass or a new color, I get really drawn into a color scheme. This combination of dark blue, turquoise blue and green was a recent infatuation.

Unfunctional

So, a friend of a friend requested a piece of glass. He wanted something for his desk - but he didn't want a clock, and he didn't want a bowl. He didn't want it to be anything functional (and you know, I'm all about practicallity.) He wanted it to be blue.

And so, this is the piece that I made for him.
