ALMOST THERE...

My brain and hands hurt!  We will not let that put a damper on my plans for the gallery.  I began wondering this weekend, why is it that I do this to myself?  As if I don’t have enough work to do with our consulting business, I decide to take on another ‘job’ and pursue my art more seriously.  Really?  Why can’t I just support the consulting business and enjoy my ‘spare time’?  Guess I am just not wired right!  I am tired from the push to get product ready, but it is a good tired.  I am excited about getting setup at CreativeCorner.

The plates are almost done…

 

The last plate is in the kiln.  The last wind chime is beaded and assembled.  I don’t think these hands could crimp one more bead!  I hate to admit it, but I have spent about 14 hours assembling/beading 3 wind chimes.  It takes me quite a bit of time to get these cute little darlings, just so.  J  I LOVE them fully beaded.  The beading adds so much more FUN to these ‘singing’ little chimes.

This afternoon, once I finished the last wind chime, I had to get to work on the cart and trellis.  Cut the tapestry fabric for the top and drawers, used Velcro for the trellis assembly and Styrofoam feet for the trellis to help stabilize it.  Laid out the product to see how it would all fit.  I think all the little parts and ideas have come together nicely.

 

The picture is a bit busy with the background, but hopefully you can see all the pretty glass colors!  I thought it would be nice for the initial placement to have lots of bright colors to draw people in.  Of course the cart is a pretty adorable display.

Tomorrow I need to sign, polish and pack up all the products so they are ready to go.  As much as I love making glass items, it sure feels good to be done for a few days, so I can catch up on a few things around here that are in desperate need of attention… like my taxes. J

I just LOVE it when my plan starts coming together!  Guess that is the project manager in me.
