Powers Art Glass

We are back from the amazing class! We have a few errands to do today and later tonight I will have a nice long post with lots of pictures.

IT’S SNOWING!!! YAAAAAAY!!

For any beadmakers that might be reading this, Playing with Fire is an amazing place to take a class at. Ed and Virginia were extremely nice as were the students. Everyone was so helpful and we got to try some different torches and glass. Also it was right by the ocean which was really neat.

Anywho check back tonight for pictures

I decided to make a tutorial on puzzle pieces since I haven’t seen another beadmaker make one. I started this morning and plan to have it done by the end of the month. Once we get back from the class we are going to purchase a respirator or two to allow us to finish part of the tutorial. If all goes well then maybe will release it sometime next week It will be selling on our Etsy shop once it is complete! I am excited to make my first tutorial and depending on how that one does I have a few more that I already have plans for

We registed our car and got the plates “beadmkr”!! Also three days till the Pipyr class!!! We should have stuff from the first day when we get back but we will have to wait for the second day project to be mailed. So Sunday or Monday I will post pictures from the first day. We had a boro day a few days ago and tried some all glass rings, some came out ok so might post some pictures of that before we leave for the class. Thursday will also probably be a boro day to get ready for the class :) 

Don’t forget to check out our fall sale on our website!

And we added a section to our Etsy shop for $5 focals to move out some of our older inventory

Possomy was spotted last night walking by the back porch. We have not seen him since one of our walks when we found out he commutes around the neighborhood. Not as much racoon sightings but I got a picture through the window (very dark) of two eatting together a few nights ago that I will upload later.

I changed my mind about when to post pics so here they are!

No pictures yet but plenty tomorrow, I tried a few dragon pendants yesterday. We just signed up for Pipyr’s class for the 14 & 15! WOOOOO I felt like doing a quick update sooo…laters

My birthday glass order came in yesterday! Lots of boro clear and some very nice colors. We are down one concentrator so it is very slow to melt the glass but still made a bunch of marbles and pendants. I will post pictures this weekend maybe, haven’t felt the greatest so been just relaxing today. Andrea and I may be taking a glass in Maine with Pipyr on Nov 14 & 15! It is a boro sculpture class which is more of what I want to get into doing fulltime by the beginning of ‘09 along with marbles, pendants and beads with boro. Anywho I will post pictures later.

Here are some old pictures of the Chinchillas. The order is Pebbles, BamBam, Stitch, Tom and Jerry

And some old pictures of Maxiene and Willow

Our chinchilla Pebbles passed away this morning after be cuddled for a long time. She was sick the past two days (I didn’t know since they were at my house) and I went to check on her yesterday and she was already in really bad shape. We will post some pictures of her later.

RIP Pebbles
