Almost Wordless Wednesday & Bead Table Wednesday (BTW)

To see what's on my bead table... just click here ; although items from my stash have already joined the beads that Ann sent me, but you don't get to see those until the 17th!

OK this is going to be anything but a wordless post!  The picture is a 13 inch fused plate of mine that is in my gallery.. and considering that I didn't move the plate the picture is much better than I expected!

Last week I got an invitation to a show in Saskatoon at the Craft Council Gallery call

'Treasures from the private Collections of Fine Craft patrons'

I got the invitiation because I have a piece in the show..

I feel extremely honored to be included, especially since I left Saskatchewan 10 years ago!

Think there are about 45 pieces in the show.

My plate is on page 7 the series is called 'sticks and stones' .

The significance of todays picture/plate is that it's a more recent plate in the series and one I still have access too to photograph!

Rainy Friday....

Before we moved to NB I used to do a lot of architectural glass.... this piece is called on the fault line and has been living in a box in our garage for at least 9 years.... G is acting as VANA in the picture... Our driveway is at a steep angle and there is always a 'breeze' here so I wouldn't let G let go!... To quote the natives when we have near hurricane force winds... it's "Breezin' up a Bit"

One of the local galleries was looking for some bigger pieces so I thought this might as well spend the summer in St Andrews... but I wanted to check to see if it was OK first....

The fish are fused first then leaded in place... G & I did the woodwork....
