Lines Into Shapes Post Card

Tonight, Dan & I received an email from The Art Center of Estes Park with the poster and post card they will be mailing out to publicize the Lines Into Shapes show. They send this information to the artists so we can print copies and distribute information about the show too.

I glanced at the poster, but didn't open up the pdf file to look at the post card. Dan comes into the office and tells me that both of my pieces are on the post card. My jaw hit the floor...if you heard a loud thud, that was my jaw dropping!

To my delight and amazement, both Puzzle, the pendant, and A Grove of Trees, the bowl are on the front of this post card. I had to share. I feel so blessed.

Happy Creating Everyone!

A Pleasant Surprise!

Puzzle

This morning I received a phone call from The Art Center of Estes Park. Apparently there had been a small glitch in their system and they wanted to let me know that another of my pieces had been accepted in their "Lines Into Shapes" show. My jewelry submission, Puzzle, pictured above was also accepted. You can imagine my delight!

You may remember Puzzle from a spring show that I did; it actually took first place in that show in the glass category. It has companion earrings that I will enter in their miniatures collection. The Art Center of Estes Park lets artists include miniature works, once one of their pieces has been accepted. Tonight I'm off to work on a small version of a bowl or plate to compliment my other piece, A Grove of Trees. Pictures to follow in another post.

Happy creating all!

Puzzle Pieces

More beautiful crinklized dichroic from Coatings by Sandburg (CBS). This pendant and earring set is my last entry in the Palmer Lake Art Group Fine Art Show that starts on June 2nd with its opening reception on Saturday, June 6th at the Tri-Lake Center for the Arts.

The glass pattern was called Puzzle, so I felt that was an appropriate title for this set.





I used square Argentium silver wire to wrap these, along with a few Swarovski crystals for the earrings.

On Thursday of this past week, I had a fun little trip up to D & L Art Glass and was able to hand pick some more of the CBS patterned dichroic. A new batch of fused cabs is cooling in the kiln as I write this. I can't wait to see how these new patterns turned out. I will be wire wrapping and posting new pictures soon.
