Lampworked Fun


Here is a close up of "Fun" lampworked necklace from Amy Ouellette's collection of hot glass work. I chose this one today as it is my birthday and even though it is very hot already here... I am going to have some fun - even though the fun has already begun! We have a lot of Amy's one of a kind pieces at the gallery and some online here. Her buttons are beautiful too for all of you knitters and seamstresses.

They are just looking for a home on your special work. Or refashioned jacket?
I am off to have fun but first to make my personal new years resolutions. I never do it on January 1st, but always on August 1st as well, it is my new year. I hope that your day is lovely and that you are enjoying each and every moment of summer as much as I am ... why does it seem so short?

The word for the day is ... contemplate ... the options, the past and what to embrace for the future.

    Always fancied having a go at lampwork.

    And yes, the flowers on my blog for you are both clematis.

    The pink one only produced 3 flowers, but that's 3 more than it managed in the last 5 years! The other one looked small in the photo but when it opened (12 so far) it was HUGE. But I had similar beetle and insect niblings.
