Creations of Joy

Fell yesterday and hurt my arm. The doctor says they believe it's a bone contusion or bruise. And that they're way more painful than regular bruises and take a lot longer to heal but isn't as bad as a break. Still puts a damper on the pretty projects I have planned.

Hey party people! I decided on my summer theme- refraction of light! Think Dark side of the moon album or how cut crystals sometimes throw rainbows around the room when the light hits them just right. I'll be using bevels, cut crystal glass, and rainbow colors. I started getting into rainbow colors when my cutie girl was little. She loved rainbows and wanted everything to be "rainbow colory". Whether you like colorful things, are celebrating Pride, it like to be reminded of God's promise to never flood the earth again, I hope we can all agree that the refraction of light is pretty awesome!

My husband likes to buy and sell Lego and vintage toys so we went to a large garage sale today. While we were there I found some cool stuff. 🤞🤞 That all the pieces are there.

My Joy is in glass. Please do not taste it. Or me.

In case you're wondering if I'm ok- I just spent 3 days at Camp Orkila with almost 200 6th graders. I think their goofiness wore off on me.

6 days left to visit ! Open every day 10-5 thru the 30th.

I got pictures of some of my windows printed on clear stickers so that I can sell "prints" of my art. The colors on the sticker itself aren't as bright as a window would be, but it still looks good and the colors that it casts on the ground are great. I have prints of this tesselation, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker with tulips, and a square butterfly window. They will be available starting tomorrow at and at the Art in a Pickle Barn show.

Anyone else *need* one of these or is it just me?

I had 3 students finish up a series of classes last week. These are their final projects. They all did such a good job.

Look at this latest batch of cute little bees that at painted for me! I'm putting them into honeycombs this week and they will be available at Art in a Pickle Barn (opens April 1st) and at Tulip Valley Farms starting this weekend. Art In A Pickle Barn Show

I have the cutest neighbor today at ! His name is Oreo. I'm here today until 6pm. will be here all day tomorrow.
