Sunset at McMurray pond the other night. I have been working on making some glass basket centers. I have these precut cats in my studio so I am turning some of them into basket centers. I am also making some centers for Christmas ornaments for later in the year. These are before firing. I added more to the cats too before I fired.
My brother Jerry and his high school friend Cecil came over for dinner tonight. It was good to see them. John cooked a scrumptious dinner of red sauce, meat balls and linguine. We ate outside for social distancing.
Sunset from dinner tonight. We had a lovely dinner tonight with John and Mandy. John smoked ribs and John M made potato salad and brought the left overs from last nights dessert. Was great to see them. It was raining so there was a tarp up to the left.
After the rain there was this beautiful double rainbow. I had a private appointment and D and L art glass warehouse today. They are not opened up yet. You can order glass and supplies online and pick them up or have them shipped. I wanted to buy dichroic glass and I like to look at it. So I made an appointment. Only one person at a time. I was all alone with all of this wonderful glass(with staff) it felt so special. I bought too much. . .
On the way home was a huge thunderstorm, I missed most of it by taking the slow scenic route home, but there was a lot of rain. Some of my dichroic glass that I purchased. I am so excited to start working with it. Dichroic glass is a solution of metallic ions sprayed on the glass at a high temperature, so the sheets are round because the sprayer is round. I wish the photo would show how shiny this glass is in the sun.
More of the dichroic glass I bought today. Some of the quarter sheets and the 4 inch squares are on sale. I got such a deal. Cool cloud last night.
Sunset clouds. The bottom one looks like a thought or speech bubble from the comics.
Some alley art on the utility boxes. It is so cool. Decorative doorway and part of a mural.
Sunset in one of the alley's. I finished my cat basket centers. I fused the glass and then set them in resin so I could drill holes around them to stitch the pine needles to. The glass is about 5 inches in diameter. These will be fun baskets.
I got an early start on Christmas. I made glass centers for Christmas ornaments. I fused the glass and then set them in resin so I could drill holes around them to stitch the pine needles to. These are basket centers I made out of old glass jewelry I made. I set the glass in resin and drilled holes to stitch to for the baskets.
