me not so much for instance when i was young just starting out having my own space i thought that a coat rack was the coolest piece of furniture you know the lovely oak ones that stand by the front door with all of the beautifully curved hooks on which to put your hats coats scarves etc well after many years of waiting i could finally fit one into the budget i was so happy i brought it home placed it reverently in the corner polished it to a gleaming shine and stood back to admire my long sought piece of furniture then came the hats lots of hats and coats bulky coats light weight coats sweatshirts some scarves a bag or two one day i had to face the realization that what i had envisioned and treasured in my mind my beautiful elegant piece of entry way furniture had in reality turned into a giant pile of laundry on a stick in my living room right by the front door the first thing people saw when they came into my house eventually everything made it s way back into closets and the coat rack was donated to the goodwill a story about a bad furniture choice absolutely a subtle life lesson possibly posted by unknown at 9 36 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday december 31 2011 new year project this is the project i have decided to work on to ring in the new year these will be pendants probably hung on colored ribbon the ones that say cheap crystal ball will have small clear marbles soldered onto them i think that how we begin each new year is a good indicator of how we will spend it so i have decided not to begin it by wondering what i will do with it but by making art since my goal for 2012 is to be more productive and to consistently meet my short term goals in order to achieve my long term ones it makes sense to me that i start with a fae project that i plan to sell at the most amazing venue in the world faerieworlds there is nothing more fun as a vendor than to spend 3 days in beautiful oregon be surrounded by thousands of happy festive people eat lots of lovely mostly organic faire food and listen to live music by bands from around the world oh yeah and selling stuff lots of stuff i hope to be at many smaller events throughout the year as well and to have a profitable year overall but faerieworlds is my biggest fun for me goal so starting 2012 with a magickal project makes sense at least to my skewed sense of reality may you all have as productive and profitable year as i plan to have posted by unknown at 11 31 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday december 30 2011 pain loss and hope m lady rescued 5 july 01 about 5 years old passed 29 dec 11 rip m lady you are leaving a giant dog shaped hole in my heart but only because i love you so much you have been the best friend and most treasured family to us and we are happy that you are now at peace run free my love when i first started my blog i decided to keep it light and fun pictures of pretty things and places descriptions and how to s from the studio and a bit of humor like most everyone the new year makes me re evaluate my accomplishments in the old year and my goals for the new one 2011 wasn t a total success for me there were a lot of goals that i let slip away a lot of personal deadlines i just basically blew off and a lot of time spent wasted rather than being industrious and actively participating in my own life not a huge success and i am ending the year with pain and loss i think that making the new year better than the last will take a conscious effort it will involve being more responsible for my actions making no excuses wasting no time and setting and meeting goals that move my life and my business forward and i will forever be inspired by the spirit of my beautiful four legged girl and all the hours she spent by my side both in the studio and out posted by unknown at 8 23 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share

silver backed posted by unknown at 8 39 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday september 20 2011 lessons some days you re the windshield some days you re the bug i always say every mistake is a learning experience you know those days when you re just fated to learn a lot yeah lesson 1 don t take the short cut you ll just end up lost and have to back track and go the long way around after all lesson 2 don t try to finish the project when you re tired your muse is tired too and is going to be pissed off if you keep her up i know that when i am working with a glass pattern where pieces are going to be cut to fit together see picture i am supposed to cut each piece individually drawing the pattern as it will look when finished onto the glass and cutting the pieces out that way is always a bad idea but what the heck i can cut really straight what can go wrong i ll just take the short cut uh huh well there s always that one tiny bump on the corner of one piece that needs to be ground off then one little edge of another piece is a teeny bit too sharp and will probably cut the copper tape when i wrap it so i ll just bump it against the grinder once no problem right well now the other 2 pieces need to adjusted just a smidge to re align the edges with the first two see where i m going with this well the copper tape and solder do hide some minor differences so it s all good right on to the taping remember the 3 8 v 1 4 copper tape controversy well since the top is a free standing flat piece which will get handled a lot i want it to be sturdy i like the way the wider tape looks when soldered on the edges of the box and the tiny bit of extra width it provides will allow for more metal solder and provide stability yeah this is where the tired muse got a little pissy and neglected to mention to my tired brain that while it looks good on a single edge butting two edges together is going to double the width and look ridiculously clumpy she s got a mean streak that girl i like the edges on this lid but the internal lines look like stove pipes five lovely pieces of glass all hooked together by the art studio version of heavy metal and did miss muse stop there at her spitefulness oh nooooo let me explain about the tape used for stained glass solder only sticks to metal so in order to put solder around the edges of glass you have to put metal on them you can either encase them in pre made strips of lead or zinc called came or you can wrap them with copper tape tiffany method there are different kinds of copper tape copper backed no other color on the adhesive side black backed coated with tarry black glue and silver backed which looks nice with clear glass where you will be seeing a little of the back side of the tape through the project now do you think miss pissy muse had the courtesy to say hey wait a minute you should probably switch over to the pretty silver tape to put that beveled clear piece in nooooo so let me sum this all up now i have a lid which is made of mismatched pieces held together by a thick clunky road map of now wasted solder with a beautiful center princess of a gem rudely showing off her dirty underwear sigh posted by unknown at 4 02 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday september 18 2011 those who live in glass boxes well hello blog i remember you today i am going to tell you about making glass boxes you can pass along the info to any humans who may happen along i have a lot of pretty glass that i like to turn into things boxes jewelry wind chimes this is some of the glass i use for stained glass projects i think i was a magpie in my last life because i can never pass up anything colorful and shiny sometimes i buy glass with a specific project in mind but more often i get it just because it sparkled and the color sang to me small window panes card holders sun catchers and boxes of every shape and size have been known to spring from this shelf now this stuff this is cool it s for fusing i cut it up break it grind it whatever and stack pile it and cook it in my little kiln i have a small paragon kiln with my eye on a bigger floor model when i become rich and famous i make mostly jewelry with this but picture frames small dishes and other melted things have been known to appear lately my muse has me working on boxes i like to make them people have been asking for them it all works out pink ones purple ones clear ones square ones long ones boxes to hold trinkets tarot cards and baby teeth the possibilities are endless this pretty lavender glass is for the sides of a tarot card box i have decided that i don t like the look of corners that have heavy solder on them so i am beveling my short edges at 45 degree angles to make the corners tighter that does give me a slightly wider edge to wrap with the copper tape though so i am trying the 3 8 instead of the 1 4 so far the 1 4 is perfect on the long sides but short on the bevels and the 3 8 is perfect on the bevels but too wide on the long sides trimming may be in order here are the sides of 3 boxes taped and ready to solder together the pink is has the 1 4 copper and the lavender has the 3 8 the difference is noticeable sides are together all nice and square time to cut some bottoms i have learned not to cut the bottoms until i have the sides together no matter how careful i am if i just cut to pre measured sizes something always changes during construction i have added a lot of glass to the scrap box that way now i put the sides together then use them for a template it s working much better got the bottom glass cut time to smooth the edges and make it fit i love the sound of grinding glass in the morning bottoms for the 3 boxes ground taped and ready to solder i tin everything first apply a thin coat of solder then i solder them into the bottom of the side assemblies posted by unknown at 2 32 pm 3 comments

eighth grade graduation i tatted this using lizbeth 10 in black adding swarovski crystals and flowers to match the material of her dress the dress is black embroidery on saphire saphire velvet ribbon adds the finishing touch well except for the chain and clasp i like the asymmetric flower petals they are that way on the dress and the way the flowers and the crystals are off set posted by unknown

it is to the point where the glass pieces with the collage inside have been wrapped with copper tape next is the fun part heating the up soldering iron and melting things now i have soldered the edges added the jump rings and antiqued the small ones some of the black will come off when i polish them and they will be a little shiny again going for the whole look what i found under the floorboards in that old house look so we ll see the small pieces are going to be a bracelet the large ones are destined to be a necklace next comes chains beads buttons crystals shells dingly danglies that s a techy term whatever i find to stick on them well no matter how i poked prodded and pushed the bracelet parts would not co operate they decided they wanted to be a necklace and that as they say was that so here they are they got their way and became a necklace i hate it when the inanimate objects win and they do that a lot sigh i love the way this looks the glass pieces turned out great not happy with the way it hangs though so i will probably be taking it apart and changing the shape in the words of my hero flo happens to me all the time posted by unknown at 1 41 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels glass jewelry soldering saturday march 13 2010 tatted works in progress this is a bracelet tatted with size 10 black crochet cotton i like the shape and the charm but i don t like the looseness of the stitches it s soft and rather floppy i think i will use a smaller diameter needle next time i also discovered and fell in love with lizbeth tatting thread since i made this lizbeth has more body is slightly glossy and looks really elegant size 10 crochet cotton again in kelly green i will block and stiffen them which should improve both the floppiness and the distortion and put them on pinbacks my grandson wanted 4 leaf clovers for his teacher and room mom so i designed these for him i thought they were too swirly at first but they grew on me he loves them so i guess it s all good now we have the lizbeth size 10 thread in evergreen it has a little stiffness to it so the final product lays beautifully and isn t floppy it doesn t really show in the photo but it has a slight gloss to it which is very pretty this is a filigree piece adapted from a doily pattern the dime is to show the delicate size of the stitches i haven t figured out how i m going to finish it sometimes these things have to percolate awhile now for some color this is a choker done in a single row of split rings with pearls i used lizbeth size 10 leaf green medium you can see the gloss a little better here when i get to the other end i think i will stitch on a cross bar so the closure is a simple toggle and ring i love the color of these pearls oh yeah this has an almost invisible shiny kreinik blending fiber running through it that s what the pearls are on since the drill holes are too small for thread i like the sparkle it adds and the pearls fit on it this is the current design i am working on it s a finer thread that the other ones lizbeth size 20 done on a fine needle i love tiny fine stitches it s hard to see here but i have worked tiny hexagonal glass beads into the pattern after all i started out as a beader i love the way the design is coming together but am rewriting it with a couple of modifications i think it will lay more nicely if i change a couple of the join points and swap out a couple of the beaded picots prototypes are always a little awkward and i always end up making changes in how i first write the pattern
