my first post

first of all, i should tell you that i rarely bother with capital letters.

that’s pretty much the end for now, since I have dinner in the oven, and glass in the kiln and I need to watch both. I’ll be back later.

ok. i’m back. neither one is ready. anyway. i’m calico. wife, mother, artist. I make kiln fused functional art, like pendants, plates, bowls, platters, vases, etc.

some things i sell at craft fairs (which can be very tiresome) and some things i sell on etsy ( http://calicoglass.etsy.com ) or i give them as gifts.

i’m saving up for a new kiln. i’m not the best saver around though, so for now, my work isn’t as big as i’d like it. i’ll get there. tonight i’m making a beach glass bowl for someone who sent me a message that they would like one- different from the one i have listed for sale. tomorrow i’ll form it into a bowl (slump) and then i’m making a plate or vase from some glass i painted and fell in love with.

first, i have to figure out this blog thing though.

here’s a picture of my beach glass bowl:
