Un-molding! Really happy with how both of these came out! It’ll be a few more hours until they’re cured, and I think I might not get them into the shop before I leave town, alas, but they’ll be available after the holiday. Unless someone buys them directly off me first. 🙂 My assistant, Eliana, will […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about why I find myself eager to go make art, and reluctant to start writing. (It’s the starting that’s the problem — once I start, I’m usually fine and happy.) I think a lot of it has to do with anxiety, but also with the idea of being a professional.

Sneak peek of last night’s resin pour — new molds! Charcuterie board (food-safe, but not meant for heavy cutting) and handled tray. Not sure if these will cure in time for me to get them to the shop before I leave town tomorrow morning, alas! We’ll see; Kevin brought me tea and cold pizza in

Can I take five minutes to kvetch? Y’all know it was a bit of a mad run-up to end of semester with the new shop and all the weekend arts fairs, right? So, normally, I would be pretty done with all that now and ready to actually rest and relax for two weeks (once I

Another sneak peek — resin tray and coasters. I’ll be adding a gold backing to this one, once it’s set. It’s taking longer to cure than the fruit tiered server, maybe because of the alcohol inks? I’m also still trying to figure out the best way to add the gold backing; I’ve tried a couple

Starting a new resin pour. At least 8 hrs before I can un-mold, which is v. Frustrating! I guess that’s why I did it before bed. Sleep, Mary Anne, and dream of beautiful flowers…

I am devouring this lady’s peach cobbler cake in a jar — so good! And I think her adorable cookies are going to be added to various of my gifts this year — Kavi’s going to love her little Starbucks card cookie gift kit. TeeTee’s Sweets, at @SternGlassWorks until 4 pm!

I’m in love with this new seal! Made up some little sets of peel-and-stick in cobalt blue and silver — I have these now at the Stern Glass Works market, from 12-4 today! 817 S Oak Park Ave.

I’ll have to figure out how to photograph this better (please forgive the chaos of my basement studio), and how to hang it in the shop in a way that’s easy to pull down and sell, but hey, I made a botanical mobile tonight. Cool. What I really want to do is make mobiles that
