Mothers Day Shadow Boxes

 Valentine/Mothers Day  Shadow Boxes - make with paper  rolled flowers  in the shape of a heart (I have a dog one coming soon) 

Phrases will be going on to these for mothers day when I get them cut 








2 Hours in the Studio - still cold

 I went up to the studio in hopes of lampworking.  I refuse to turn on the big heater  until its warmer so I can use my big kilns - (Hydro is costly )  The outside was  42F  start temp  inside was  47F  and by the time I finished it was still only 57F only my feet were cold .  But I was able to make up some larger boro  heart pendants and some spacer beads. 



Hoping as it warms up I can stay longer  and longer and build more glass stock.
