Yikes, where'd that come from.

Over the past few years, I have purchased glass. Some here, some there, but there was a purpose for all of it.

When I moved, glass would be put in this box and that box. I thought I had most of it in a single box that I could use for daily pulls. I was wrong.

On Thursday, I was going through the garage and cleared enough to open a small window to the floor. I saw some glass. After clearing some more, I realized that I had found more than "some glass." I had found the motherlode of glass. 150 pounds of it in a full rainbow of colors.

This should open the possibilities of what can be done.

In the clean-up

If you haven't heard, I'll be moving to Texas in July. Right now is a time for organization and creation. I am going through everything in my studio and deciding what needs to happen with it.

Here's the great thing. I'm able to organize all of my glass and metalsmithing stuff. For instance, I knew that I was missing some glass rod. Low and behold, it was underneath the truck in the garage!

I wonder what else I'll find.

Oh yea, I totally forgot to mention that I've started to create finished jewelry. The new style of bracelets are coming along well. (Pictures to follow soon...... hopefully)
