I have just listed 4 awareness ribbon dichroic pendants in my Etsy Store. These are to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Free shipping on them

The last couple of days I have been creating some fused cabs in my glass studio (and ignoring the things I need to finish in the clay studio *g*) I have listed 4 cabs in my Etsy Shop.

I also decided to keep one for myself to wire wrap (most likely) and thought I would share it with y’all.

Today I am going to work on finishing some stuff in the clay studio, and now that I have new glasses and can see, I can get back to working on a chain set- bracelet, earrings, and necklace. Wheeeeeeeeee, are we having fun yet?

I just finished a new SW Indian design cane that is waiting for reduction. I am, of course, nervous about the reduction, but that is so normal for me Here is a picture of it pre-reduction so you can see how big it is.

I was shooting for faux turquoise, fax MOP, and faux fire agate. Lets see if it works once reduction happens.

I also I just listed a new cane covered turtle on Etsy. If you have a turtle lover in your life this might be a good gift for them. It is half a goose egg shell. I made all the canes and laid swarovski crystals on the waves on the top. A sneak preview for you

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

So I already told you about the weekend with Jean and Cat. Now it is time to show the canes I created. I know you have been holding your breath for this haven’t you?

The first cane I made is a PNW style cane. Imagine that! Someone asked me to make a sea otter so I did. The background is different then I normally do for my PNW images. Cat suggested to make it like the sea with waves. So, this time I used trans and white chopped with small bits of blue and green. each slice will give a different aspect of the otter floating on the water. I think it will look great as an overlay on a nice background, which is something I have on my “to do” list.

The next cane I made was a flower cane. Yep…you read that right. Cat made a gorgeous one and I whimpered until she gave me a few hints and tricks on what to do with my blend. She responds well to whimpering and begging, even though her husband was looking at his non-exiting watch because they were almost ready to head out to Sacramento. I am really happy with how it turned out and had a few ideas on how to tweak it to make it more *mine*.

Once I got home I decided to see if my tweaks would work in this style of flower. So I whipped up a new blend and started to play. I am happy (sort of) with how it turned out but can see things to change about on the next one. Yep, read that right too. I need a break from the PNW style since they are so concentration intensive. so here is the second flower cane I made.

So, there are the fruits of my labor dduring the clay weekend. Soon, these canes will be coming to my Dragonsglass Etsy Store. I want to thank you for taking the time to look at my site.

Yep, you read that right! I grouped some of my PNW and SW Indian style canes and put some sets up on Etsy to tickle your creative imagination. I have also listed some of that dragonfly cane I just reduced. You can find them all by clicking right here!! Thanks for looking!
