I see it's been nearly a year since I have blogged anything at all. Not much has happened in that time. Nothing new and noteworthy anyway.
One thing I am doing is closing down my website the end of March. It just sits there, wasting money and now I have a store at Artfire so why pay for both? Plus I have had almost no sales from the website so what's the point?
I'm gearing up to go back to work now that the Arctic Express seems to be done for this winter. It's a little difficult to torch when the temp in the studio is 50 and one has to leave the door open a crack for ventilation purposes and it's 20 below OUTSIDE. brrrrrrrrr.
I have lots of new ideas rattling around in my head but it's going to take a while to get to those. I've decided to focus my initial efforts on encased florals. And those take time and practice because I haven't done them in a couple of years.
On another note, the AGLF (Artisans and Glassworkers Legal Fund) has had rousing success raising funds for our fight against that spurious, ridiculous lawsuit. We have done RBoG (random bags of glass) patterned after Woot's great succes with their random bag o'crap (it was never crap, btw as I bought a couple. Always good stuff but not necessarily anything I could use or wanted).
Last month I sent out sample baggies of frit, cell phone lariats, sample baggies of ceramic beads and some other stuff. This month? Well I haven't mailed them out yet so I'm not tellin'.
As a matter of fact, that's where I'm headed next. Gotta pack those puppies up and get them in the mail. Got the list of buyers last night so it's off to work.
With luck, I'll have something new to post and not next year!
In the meantime, here's Three demanding to know why he can't get on my lap.
