Birmingham Community House - "Our Town Art Show and Sale"

My work will be part of the "Our Town Art Show & Sale", taking place Thursday, October 15 - Saturday, October 1. Hours 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. There is no admission fee.

It's a great show - Opening Night Party is on Wednesday the 14th and there is a fee for that. It opens on Wednesday night and closes on Saturday. 

It takes over the first two floors of the building - there is art everwhere!

I will have 4 pieces in the show - and here are two of them. 

The color of the one on the right gets lost in the photo. It looks like moonstones.

October Already...

As per my usual - I am behind in my site.

I was fortunate to spend 2 weeks in Sicily and Italy mid-September and that was a wonderful experience I shall never forget for so many reasons.

I came home and got to work on things for two shows, Bead Bonanza and Our Town.  

I would much rather work on my glass than my sites but it is a necessary evil. I often joke that I need to hire a teenager to take care of these things.

At any rate, here is one of my newer pieces. 

I was inspired by the glass jewelry I saw on an Italian cruise ship last fall as well as much of the glass jewelry I saw in Venice and Murano - 

The pieces tended to be very simple and very elegant.

Hope to get a few more pics up in the next week or so.
