How wonderful! congrats on the new job and it sounds like they definitely wanted you - as they should. I see you even put it in your profile ) Have you done this type of legal work before? All star news about selling some of your pieces too! All is good here with us, MIL and the rest of the family. We have settled in nicely and really love it here. So much sunshine compared to WA even in the winter.

Alrighty then... *this* weekend I got those photos taken, lol! If you take a look in "My Pics" you'll see several pictures of the green end-of-day glass I told you about. It's 8" tall and 10" across at the widest point. There are no seams, no apparent method of joining the black and green sections, and no markings anywhere. Feel free to pass these on to your friends at your chat group. If it would still be better for me to email them to you, let me know and I'll use the address you provided. Enjoy! :D

Oh yes, definitely an artist must keep a record of their original work. Painted media one can always keep a print or sell the prints and keep the original but when it comes to glass and sculpture - pictures are the only record once they are out of the artist's hands.

But for the Book Club Gallery you may want a better picture as the right side was cut off a bit. I wanted to give you a plug anyway :) I always support artists if I can.

You know how much I like cobalt blue and Oceanscapes is beautiful - such dense color.

Hi, been mostly off line for a few days. Thanks on the pic :) So glad to see you are submitting your glass art to the BC. Have to get over there and fave them. Workign ith hubs might not be a bad idea. With both of you, you could expand into all kinds of areas. I find many artists are very creative and innovative in their "day time" jobs to keep money coming in and staying busy. Is it beter to have a full kiln because of the firing or because of the cost? Doing well and we love it here and being able to see son and gkids a lot.

That sounds like an interesting process. I wouldn't have thought the bas relief effect was from different firing temperatures. I would have guessed thicker bits of glass. I know what you mean about not passing up a guaranteed means to laugh. A couple of years back there was a Travelocity ad on TV, one of a series, featuring the "Roaming Gnome." The one that always made me giggle, no matter how many times I saw it, even multiple times in one day, was where the guy was having trouble checking in and the gnome appeared saying, "Don't worry, I'm calling for backup!" About the same time an incompetent bellhop is trying to ram a luggage cart with a wonky wheel through the lobby. Just as the gnome says his line, the bellhop *runs over him* and then he has to scream, "NO! Don't back up!!" It's as much the screechy, hysterical voice as it is the perfect line at the perfect time. I'm glad you went ahead and got the watercolor - we gotta take'em where we find'em.

LOL Now that's a well trained hubby. ;-) Our snow's piled pretty high around here too. But today it got up to 4C. Now we have rainfall warnings. But by next week we're back to snow. It's going to be a mess for sure. Think I'll be smart like the cats and stay inside...maybe I can hide under the covers. LOL

Chris10a from the book club / art gallery: BEAUTIFUL glasswork! And I can understand you regret selling 'Black Hole' it is stunning! I would get all touchy-feely with something like that : )

"Fusing" - that's the glass making you do? I like it *a lot* and am glad to know what it's called. I've seen it at art fairs but didn't know the name. Thanks for the suggestion for an image search. I've heard of using a photo for a search, rather than a description, but I haven't tried it. Sounds well worth the time, though. As does sending you a photo. I'll need to extricate the item from its display place, dust it well, and get a photo. Also, hubby is more versed in getting pics from the camera to the computer, so I'll need a couple days or so for him to find a moment to do that with me. I certainly would love to hear what people think of my pride and joy. I bought it while I was still in college in the 80s. It was either $80 or $90 and I talked the gal down $10. That was my mad money for a couple months at the time, so you can tell how much I wanted it. I have never regretted the purchase for one second. :)
