New location New Beginning

Well, the last couple of months have been very exciting.  The Glass Shoppe Studio relocated to 911 Richmond Road and is now called GSS Flameworking Studio.  It's a beautiful location and much more conducive to walk-in traffic.  It's much closer for me - just a hop, skip and jump down the road from the house - how convenient is that!  One of the wonderful additions to the studio is a gallery space and I am so please to be showing my work there along with a group of wonderfully talented artists.  I can't wait to see what the future holds!

Recently my sister-in-law asked me to make her a necklace. The request was for a deep purple and bright green colour combination.  These arena't colours that I usually work with but I found that creating this piece helped me flex my creative muscles and work outside of my colour comfort zone.  I posted a little piece on my lampworking FaceBook page showing the process that I go through when I make a piece of jewelry.
I had a lot of fun creating this piece and now I must say good-bye as it makes its way to Hamilton..
