Two festivals for May!

We just got back from Staunton where we participated in the Hot Glass Festival. It was so exciting to be with glass artists from all over the country.
We have to get that kiln fired up tomorrow because we shows the next two weekends. This Saturday (May 1) we will be at St. Michael's Episcopal School for Magic Dragon Day - that sounds like fun. Then, while Nancy is flying off to England, I will be in the Fan for the Strawberry Street Festival. I love strawberries so I'm hoping one of my friends comes by so I can run out and by some berries and those goodies made with them that I have read about.

I'll post pictures as things come out of the kiln!

Give your Mom a one of a kind gift for Mothers Day. I'll be at St. Catherine's Daisy Days(6001 Grove Avenue, Richmond Va) tomorrow. I'm inside, look for my banner TG Designs, LLC Handmade Glass.

Finished!

After 3 fusing "turquoise swirls" is finished!


Blue waves just came out of the kiln, a few minutes ago.
This is what is looked like after the first fuse prior to being slumped.

Busy little kiln

The center of this one was made from torchwork that Nancy did - I put on the border and cooked it. It's not done yet!
Waiting to go into the kiln for its first fuse- wonder which way the torchwork will fall.
Just out of the kiln

Petunias and sunset

Feels like summer! I love the scent of petunias in the evening.
