New Pendants will arrive tomorrow morning

My goodness days have been slipping by. I still have about 4 custom orders that are in the making, and should be finishing all these lovely beads by tomorrow PM. We have had some terrible weather her - major thunderstorms, that even scared me, a avid thunderstorm lover!!


I have two kilns running tonight, and one has some lovely pendants that will be up on the early notify list by tomorrow, hopefully by noon. I say hopefully, because about 3,000 people here have lost electricity - and even though I have backup now to ensure my kiln cycles will run. I don't have any backup for my computer!!!


I met a lovely young woman online the other day, and after reading her family story I put together a website for her, nothing fancy, but I think it's cute. If you are looking for a baby gift, please visit her site and help her help her family, at the same time http://www.cuddlenoodles.com/ - Isn't the name cute - she came up with the name, all I did was put her words into a website she could use. I had to stay up to watch a kiln cycle anyway, so why not do something fun :)


Well, it is already 10:45 and I still have about 40 beads to clean - so I am off to clean some beadies and then hopefully get to bed without another thunderstorm coming. My poor doggies become so terrified that if another storm comes they are going to climb all over me. The storms have been so severe the last month or so that I called the vet and hopefully she can give me something to help them when a major storm is due. I know I will need to do something for the 4th of July, the fireworks just send them into a tizzy!!! Unfortuantely I have a gung ho neighbor that sets off the biggest display every year - which I actually would enjoy, if it didnt' scare Buster and China so much!


OK - I am rambling - better get back to work!!! I am excited to see what the pendants will look like tomorrow morning!!

NEW DESIGN FOR WIRE WRAPPERS



Return to GG Studio home page

I have been kicking around this idea for quite few months and finally decided to get it out of my head and into a design. It's called the WW Touch Stone - it is a boro pendant especially designed for a wire wrapping technique. I just love it. Each WW Touch Stone will be one of a kind and wil come with holes for the designer to add a personal wire wrapped design.

Here is the first design. More are in the kiln and will be added this Saturday in the PM.

A New Day in the Studio

Take me back to Glitzy Glass Studio Home Page!

Above is a pic of my trusted bead buddies - Buster (left) and China (right) both rescued fur babies

Good Morning! I have finally been able to make two Tree of Life Pendants that I am very happy with. Each one has it's own personality, but they are similar in design. I really enjoy the earth tones in these pendants. There is nothing finer then borosilicate glass when it comes to earthy shades and shine!

Today I will be spending quite a bit of time finishing custom orders and then packing and mailing beads to their new homes. I am thinking of putting up a world map and keeping track of where my little beads travel too. Yesterday a shipment was sent to Israel and last week a few went to Paris - that was so cool!!

Here is a picture of one of the "newly grown" Trees of Life. This pendant will look lovely on a sterling or gold chain, silk cord or even better strung with semi-precious or precious gem stones!


I hope you all have a lovely day. I am off to the torch to see what the fire has to offer today.
Take me back to GG Studio Home Page!

JUNE 16, 2007 What's Going on in Glitzy Glass Studio - Pictures Added Here!!!

Return to Glitzy Glass Home Page


The Studio has been more then busy these past few months - which is a blessing and also a bit stressful as I want to be sure everyone receives their beads in a timely manner. If you find that you are waiting too long be sure to email me. Usually this is because I am adding some goodies to your order! So take heart. Be sure to always let me know if you have a deadline as that is critical to both of us.....

I am especially proud of the fact that I will soon be writing a bi-weekly column for BeadBugle.com - a fantastic online magazine that I have adored for years!! Of course my local bead freinds can still read my columns in The Record in Troy and the surrounding areas.

I have been working on the Tree of Life Pendants and hopefully they will be up for sale by the end of tomorrow - Sunday -

Here is a peek at some past "Trees" Everyone who has purchased a tree has really enjoyed designing with them. They look really pretty on a silk or sterling chain, but putting one with semi precious gemstones or pearls really makes a statement!





Of course I have to share a picture of my Granddaughter Natalie - she is going to be a year old on July 5th - this picture was taken when she was just 7 months old - I can't believe how time just slips by. Being a first time Grandmom is amazing! And soon I will be a Grandmother to two girls - yup - my son and daughter-in-law are expecting another due in September. To save you counting on your fingers and toes, the girls are just 13 months apart - it amazed us all! Gianna will be arriving soon.
