More Raku Fun and Pittsburgh Pa.

This weekend our long and lovely break from the art shows is ending and we are off to do the annual "Shadyside Art Festival" in Pittsburgh Pa. (Aug. 28-29) This has been a really good show for us for the past 5-6 years. This used to be a three day show, but now it is only Saturday and Sunday which all us artists appreciate allot. The hours are still too long...but ya can't have everything!

I've been playing with my raku glass again and having some fun with it.

Like I've said before, raku is tricky....sometimes its magic.....eh....sometimes it just isn't. I was having a "good raku day" so I did quite a few!

Added a few new beads to the website!

I know, I know....its about time!

Had to get a new laptop....and new photoshop software...so I was playing.

The Honeys birthday is today, so we are heading up one state into Michigan for a special dinner. The man likes his steak.
Just a couple of more shows of the season....next is in Pittsburgh and then Indianapolis and then lastly in Louisville.
I'm trying to catch up with my listing on the website....and will be adding more over the weekend.
Garden report: Tomato plants look awful, but they are cranking out the fruit anyway.

Ahhhh.....I can't believe that I am cutting down my garden already.....where has the summer gone?!

Summer is slipping away....We've only got two and a half months left in our Indiana Paradise. Well....its paradise to me.

I finally have the time to play again at the torch with our biggest shows behind us now. Ann Arbor Art Show was again terrific. We had some bad weather one day, but it didn't seem to hurt our sales one bit.

Now...I have a month off to build up my inventory again with plenty of time to enjoy the late summer.

I've listed allot of new beads on the website. Some are strictly with fall in mind! Pumpkins! now, that's new for me!
