Buttons

By Bobby On May 5, 2012 · Add Comment · In Weekly News
This will be our third year selling buttons at our local Saturday Market. Even I was surprised at all the people who love buttons as much as I do. I blame it on our “Moms” for dragging us to all those little second-hand stores and going through jars and jars of buttons ! ! ! [...]

Where it all began :

By Bobby On April 16, 2012 · Add Comment · In Weekly News
I had been in woodworking for 20 + years and had quite a little business going. I was very content to do just what I was doing. I love the smell and feel of wood and the silkiness when you sanded a piece just right. I actually went through withdrawals if I was away from [...]

The Studio Part 5

On April 4, 2012 By Norm
Tools: Norm asked me just how many pliers I really needed and I told him I need all of them. Tools are another one of my loves. I make quite a few of them, since the one you want either doesn’t exist or is not in the budget plan. Besides, I get to [...]

The Studio Part 4

On April 1, 2012 By Norm
Shards: Shards became another passion that I explored. I still make shards and enjoy applying them to the beads I make. They have become one of the few things that I revisit now and again. I love the hot bubbles and breaking them up into manageable pieces. And “yes” I need many many [...]

The Studio Part 3

On March 29, 2012 By Bobby
Frit: I went on a quest and needed every color and in three sizes of all the glass rods that I have. I tend to do things in a big way and once the “muse” has left I usually don’t return. Too many things to explore and the list just keeps growing…you know [...]

The Studio Part 2

On March 26, 2012 By Bobby
The Glass Stash: When I first started working with glass I think I went a little crazy. Spent every penny we could dig up for glass and supplies….Beans and rice for dinner again! It was a little bit of forethought for us since glass skyrocketed to prices that you could not imagine. I thought the [...]

The Studio Part 1

On March 25, 2012 By Bobby
It’s clean for now, but when the muse strikes there will be “chaos” abounding. I have been lampworking for close to 15 years and the magic is still there. I share my glass passion with jewelry now and they seem to compliment each other and fill my days. I am still using the [...]

Dreams do come true…

On March 21, 2012 By Bobby
  In my dream I was making a new piece of jewelry from the bronze that I have. In the dream it went smoothly, step by step and when I finished the piece it was perfect. The first thing I did was to burn a hole in the bronze while getting the pure silver to [...]

My muse has returned:

On March 17, 2012 By Bobby
And look what she brought me ….. Pieces of bronze sheet to play with. It doesn’t look like much right now but when we get through….Just wait and see! She had so many new and exciting things to show she was beside herself. We took a moment so I could write them down [...]

From the back burner

On March 14, 2012 By Bobby
The other day I was showing a friend how to fold form copper. I made a demo piece and was not quite satisfied with it but brought it home anyway. I have had an idea setting in the back of my mind for quite some time now and the piece seemed to be the answer. [...]
