That’s the news this week since I only just found out that I will in fact be one of the participating vendors at Sterling Fest 2011 Sat, Oct 8th. from 11 am – 5 pm. I will be there selling my pendants.

Oh My! Excitement and last minute prep work. A busy busy week for me – which is good.
Glad I have all my pendants re-carded and labeled. Now I just need to re-work the layout and get the sign-age done by Friday. Possibly get a few more pieces done by Wed so that I have time to price and catalog them too.

Thankfully I have a friend helping to keep me on track, and Craig will be helping me the day of the event. Then I just need to relax and sell pretty shiny things to people.

Here I again used multiple layers of fused clear, black and dichroic glass with mica powders.

This is “Soul Stone II” – another item from a commissioned series. It’s my personal favorite from the series – however the buyer chose another larger piece instead. This one was cold worked on the glass grinder in addition to having four individual kiln firings.

This is “Soul Stone III” – it was part of a series I did for a commission. Commission pieces are done as a series with the buyer choosing their final purchase.

A very tailored shape with an attractive mix of blue-green color on a white base. I was thinking of the sea when I made this one. To give this one the tailored look I wanted – I used my glass grinder to shape and smooth the sides into a longer leaner looking shape.

This is a dainty light blue swirled glass with mixed blue accents.

A small rounded fused glass pendant with a sprinkle of red (almost cranberry) and black frit on a white base.

I actually decided to call this one “Two Hearts Falling”.

This pink glass kitty face is for adults, NOT children, since I feel compelled to remind buyers that it is made of glass.

I especially liked the shimmer of copper and hint of gold color playing off each other in the dichroic glass. I think the dark red glass makes the dichroic show even richer in this particular piece.
