Well, first have to show who will be joining Darrin and his family this weekend! Brody is a Great Dane and the kids are all so excited!!! No, Brody isn't so excited that he has to wear a party hat! He just had his ears done. Darrin said Brody is very sweet and passive and will make a great dog! He is adorable...can't wait to meet him, which will happen next week!
And I picked up my glass from my glass workshop at
Pine Lakes Glassworks a few weeks ago!
This is the glass mug Mr. Hilty made! I love it!! Actually, I'm going to use it as my own private wine glass!!
This was my paper weight and the first glass piece I made!
and this is the cooled finished piece!!! Isn't it great! Well, I think so!!!
Of course, sometimes you have a failure with your successes...and this was my ornament...actually, my 2nd one...I dropped the pipe holding my ornament and it broke!!! This one was a challenge for Mr. Hilty to try and blow to form the ball from the heated glass...why you ask! Because I was squeezing the end so hard it closed off the hole for him to blow into! Hmmmm So, I ended up with this! And it's heavy!!! It's glass folks!!
Actually, I rather like it! It can be out all year long...looks like an egg for Easter, an ornament for Christmas and a beautiful piece of glass the rest of the year!!! Gotta look at the positive!!!
