3/8/10 There will be new things this week - mostly pendants - not a huge batch, but some fun ones, and it looks like there will be some black dichro neckpieces, as well. Keep an eye out.

For those of you who don't know about the chicken disaster - I've left the chicken post up below. I've recovered enough from the mess to be working in the studio again, still a lot of cleaning up to do. You know how it is, I'm sure. Once you start cleaning you realize how bad its gotten and I have a long haul ahead before I'm actually done.

3/1/10 - Free run chickens - Bah, Humbug! They got into the glass studio. I had absolutely NO idea how much destruction chickens could create. I don't even know why they would bother to go up on tables where there was nothing to eat. Broken glass, tipped over frits, dichroic shards all over the floor. What a mess!!!

I knew it needed major cleaning - but now I absolutely cannot work until I do it. And hope I can clean up the dichroic frits so they can be used. I HATE throwing things away.

Of course if I didn't hate throwing things away so much there wouldn't be so much mess to clean up because there'd have been a LOT fewer piles. That one should be a lesson to me - but its unlikely.

I should have room to work in a couple of days, A lot of the cleanup extends past the immediate work area into the corners that don't get sorted often - or even looked into - what will I find, I wonder?

For my retail customers - volume discounts beginning at $100 retail.
