I've been very
busy lately and will be for the next couple of weeks and so my
reading, commenting, and posting has been a little hit or miss and
will probably continue to be for a while.
We're heading
into the city in a little while to do two small etching jobs. Also
I've been cutting hundreds of little bitty pieces of glass for 100
fused glass crosses that the church ordered (the irony is not lost on
me, an unbeliever).
And I've been
working on some sun catcher/wind chime thingeys. Not sure what I'm
going to do with them.
Coming up, we
have a workshop this weekend and then next week, I'll be working in
the store for 3 days and then the last day of the workshop the
following weekend.
And this coming
Friday I have a preliminary presentation to give for to the garden
club and library here for a possible sculpture for the library gifted
by the garden club.
Here's a few
shots from the yard:

I'm glad you're busy. And I LOVE the cross. Those flowers are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAll real nice, I really enjoy that gomphrena, I have grown a number of varieties.
ReplyDeletehey, at least you're an equal opportunity glass worker! :)
ReplyDeleteGood to be busy. I am busy, too. This weekend will be the official end of the season and I am waiting for the first editing of my book to be done and looking fo the right illustrator. More to this than you would think, but it is exciting!
ReplyDeleteBusy is good! And I'm seeing some of the nature colors, the greens and golds at first glance, in your cross work :)
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are beautiful. I am not familiar with either.
ReplyDeleteIt's good you are busy. I love the thingies, look forward to seeing what you do with them.
I loved the photos, and your work is beautiful, but the thought of taking an implement of death and torture and representing it as a happy looking objet d'art of it would strike me as strange even if I were a believer. On the other hand, I guess I would prefer that to the gory Catholic crucifixes that I've so often seen.
ReplyDeleteAll the fall flowers here are blooming - mums, etc. It is so great.
ReplyDeleteNice you still have flowers too!
Crosses can mean many things. Flowers can mean everything. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, I like that firework flower and I love irony :).
ReplyDeleteYou have work. That's great. I wouldn't question it for a single minute.
ReplyDeleteThe photos tell me that something really wonderful is about to blossom. So glad you are busy!
ReplyDeleteWay to go--everything looks great. As a collector of crosses, those little bitty pieces of glass crosses are calling to me, perhaps not god, but to me they call.
ReplyDeleteThe wind chime thineys look great also. Maybe you could make wind chimes of them. Sorry. It's late.
Have a good week and take care!
Those firecracker flowers are so beautiful. Love the crosses, too. Have fun and enjoy the workshop!
ReplyDeleteThe windcatcher chimes are beautiful. I love the vibrant colors in your work. The crosses look like they might test your patience, though.
ReplyDeleteI too love the crosses! Fingers crossed for you with the garden club glass piece!
ReplyDeleteThose flower pics...amazing and beautiful!!
Yep...fall has come and it has been beautiful here too! Love the changing leaves!
Inspiring!
Hugs

Keep busy my friend!
ReplyDeleteit's good to be alive. beautiful flowers! steven
ReplyDeleteAfter that long drought, the land still comes back. Wow.
ReplyDeleteI love glass wind chimes. It's the best sound.
They are beautiful, too.
Oh the crosses - they will be gorgeous, they ARE gorgeous. Art is not always a matter of faith.
Wow- your yard is simply sublime this time of year!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all the projects--you have your work cut out for you. Love the sun catchers! :)
I sure do understand having trouble keeping up with blog activities. Your crosses are lovely and you wear irony well. ;)
ReplyDeleteThose crosses are pretty nifty. If my folks were still alive, they'd love one.
ReplyDeleteBoth flowers are unknown to me. They're beauties, though. Thanks for introducing me to them.
