Studio Day
March 13, 2007
Click on pictures to enlarge.
It's another rainy day but a good day to see the studio because it was
sunny yesterday and I got in a few pictures.
This morning though, in the rain, I gave my 18 year old son, Ian, my
camera and asked him to take a few pictures of me inside the
 door.
I bribed him with one of the new Starbucks chocolate cupcakes. I should
have given him 2 or 3 because these photos aren't that good. I look like
Elvira with lighter hair. Sorry, Ian. So, well, that is me. I look
weird.
Let's get a different photo. I still look weird,
 but you can sure see
how neatly all that wood got stacked after the big wind storm.
So, enough
of me.
Now this is a great photo. I love the colors and the textures, but there
is a problem with this photo. It
 clearly shows how my husband is trying
 to take back his territory because those are his fishing and hunting
waders all lined up where there should be a table with a bunch of MY
stuff on it.
Now this is my stuff. It's almost all beading trays, glass rods and
 frits and enamel, slots, more glass, glass and tools. I love tools. I
have lots. I don't know what to do with half of them, but I really like
them anyway.
This is an interesting photo. I cut my glass on top of a local
newspaper's TV guide. It at least has straight lines and
 cutting
straight lines seems to be my biggest problem right now. My friend Lee
Ann may give me a glass cutter with a big handle and she says it cuts a
perfect line.
 Uncomfortable chair outside when I get tired of being inside. I need to
make a big pillow for this
 chair.
Tire swing behind chair for when I get
tired of chair.
Pond with fake goose in lower right.
Big bee on crocus near pond. Glass
and mirrors to chase away big herons.
And this, my most prized possession, my hot box. Now, this and my
 torch
I keep in my garage. If I fired this up in the studio, I would probably
burn it down. So, all flammables are in the garage, right next to my
smoker. It all looks kind of messy to me. Anyway, if I am not firing up
my kiln, I am firing up my smoker.
Just a few more pictures and I will let you go.......this is the coffee
 table inside the TV room, inside the house, on what is sort of, my side
of the room.
This is one end of our kitchen table. See the pretty candles? This
 is
one end of our living room coffee table. I am working on a gorgeous
orange and yellow necklace.
This is the counter top in my kitchen. It has nice Spanish tiles.
 This
is looking across the clean area of the counter to the bead trays and
jewels on the old maple cabinet.
I know I have a serious habit.
Next time I write I will tell you about my rock stacking. Although other
people in my neighborhood think they were the first rock stackers to
live around here, that is not true and I will prove it.
