CAT AFTER CAT

Made another cat cane the other day, using up remaining parts from the Demo.
Almost forgot how much fun this is.

demo cane

here he is... very hungry cat...

Did it,it is done.

For weeks I have been nervous, could not sleep for days, and after all, the demo was fun and went well. Studio is clean, organized , everything in working order, ready to serve, as always.
Very impressive!
All the staff was bending backwards to make us happy, you guys rock! thanks!
Beside the great Conference Corning was loaded with awesome antiques, who would of thought...what a dangerous place for me to visit!

getting ready for GAS

Working hard, almost finished. I will be bringing four components to assemble at the conference.
Hopefully will end up with a Cat and a Mouse picture by the end of the demo.

in the studio

Bead and Button and GAS.

Some time ago I had to make very unpleasant and difficult decision not to join The Bead and Button Show this year. It just was not possible for me to go. I do apologise for disappointing all students signed up for my class. Lets meet up next year! Please!
One of the reasons is also the date of The Glass Art Society Conference in Corning being so close.
I will be presenting a demo at the Studio, assembling a murrine cane. I still have tons of work ahead of me. I can not remember what exactly I was thinking signing up for both events.

SERIOUSLY,

got nothing better to do than beat up a fireplace
