From The Studio - Wednesday

While sorting dish shards is mostly what I'm doing this week From The Studio, I am also every so often picking up the glass nippers and working on a mosaic panel privacy screen I've had as a WIP (work-in-progress) for a little over a year now.

Winter-themed "Let It Snow" a mosaic I started working on before we moved, sat unattended while we moved at the end of December 2016 and a long time after that. Recently I unearthed it once more and finished what I could. I needed/wanted some glass I didn't have enough of in the color I wanted it in for the background. So it sat a little longer until I made a sale and was able to purchase it from an Etsy shop. This stuff is awesome too. Tumbled and feels a lot like sea glass.

Started in November 2016

Picked up again December 2017

Started adding the border in January 2018

After the border was finished I had to put it all aside once more and wait for the glass I wanted to fill it in with.

Awesome glass, tumbled and sliced just right came from Pieces of Me Mosaics on Etsy.

At this point I was trying to decide if I wanted to keep them in one piece or cut them.

Nipping them was the right decision and I quickly went to work at the end of January 2018.

Finished and ready for grout! February 5, 2018

Check back on Friday when I share the next project on the work table and some general business news.

In The Studio - Friday

It's been a few months since I've written a post and boy, have I been busy!

I have sold just about all the candle holders I've made for the holidays, much to my delight. Some through Etsy, a few through Facebook before getting them listed. That's always fun! I've also sold a switch plate cover and another large glass plate! They are really selling right now, I only have 2 left! Wow! Below are the items that have sold within the past few months. Happy me!

I have one more candle holder to grout. One more ornament to grout, one more to finish getting glass and mirror on. Hopefully I'll get it all done and listed before it's too late but I'm not really rushing at this point.

I had a nasty cold which kept me from working for about 10 days. I'm back at it and the muse wanted to work on the "Let It Snow" panel I started last year. I go where the muse leads me and I'm never sorry! Check it out!!

Chances are good I'll be back at this panel later this afternoon.

Meanwhile, in case I don't write again for another two months ... I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
