I saw these great fingerless gloves this winter and had to have them. During my week of inspiration ( more like a life time of inspiration ) I took a picture of them and then used it as inspiration for a pair of earrings. I’m very happy with the results. They intentionally don’t match, another one of my favorite things to do. Look for my new inspiration pieces  at Gallery 99. The show is being held at The M Dolan Jr Building, 3 Broad St in Glens Falls NY on the 31st.  The show will run for 3 days Thursday, February 2nd thru Saturday the 4th. Some of the Gallery exhibitors including myself are Maria Wolf, Diane Swanson, Chung-Ah Park, Robin Blakney-Carlson and Jon Katz

Meet the artists Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012  (5-8pm)

See you there!

I will try to post more. I will try to post once a week. I can do that, sure yes I can!!

This week I encountered a new phenomenon. The glass I kept adding kept breaking, not once but twice! That’s it I said ” I will NOT be defeated”.

If I can keep going, even when the glass keeps doing something other than what I imaged, I can post a comment on my web site…How can that be so difficult??
