White Rock Lake Artists' Studio Tour

Saturday and Sunday, October 16 and 17, don't miss this great tour. I'd love to show how I weld my hearts and stars during the tour, but I'd put someone's eyes out. I'm going to have some hearts and stars ready go in the kiln to show how I cast the glass. Virginia is selling me glass from her new venture www.PegaisusArt.com and I can run over and get glass (and lots of advice from a pro). I'm inspired this year. Don't miss this wonderful FREE tour with 44 artists showing their studios and how they make their art.

PS. Ran to get my camera today, but I was too late. A tiny little toad came to visit while I was cutting glass. I love these guys. (do worry I'll step on one, would never get over that "squish")

Gotta tell you I suspect Marty Ray started The White Rock Lake Artisans' Studio Tour 17 years ago knowing someday I'd be on it. The Tour is a two day celebration of me and my birthday. Dear friends show up to work it, dear friends stop by and I meet new people. All wish me Happy Birthday. Course last year I did have the TSA nude calender to show them. Not for nothing was I Miss October!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll have many pictures tomorrow night.

Rainy Day at the State Fair

Pictures are of Cynthia's flamingo, Marty's totem and suppose to be Barbara's big ball. For some reason the second picture I choose for the blog is not getting on right. I love the swan in the background with Cynthia's flamingo. When the light is right the pieces of glass on the flamingo's neck sparkle like you can't believe. I find something new each time I examine Marty's totem. I think it speaks of calm.

Today is a rain day at the State Fair. I'm meeting someone out there at 3:00 so maybe the rain will pause for a moment. We're receiving a nice slow gentle rain and certainly need it. May it continue a while. I'll bring my camera and maybe catch drops of water on some of the sculpture pieces.

Over the weekend I made some pieces for the White Rock Lake Artists Studio Tour which will be Saturday and Sunday, October 18 and 19. They are stands to put a stem glass in. My idea keeping track of rain. I'd put one out right now to catch rain, but I want to see about powder coating them in wild colors. They will stay clean in my studio till then. Glad I welded Saturday and Sunday since it's very hard for me to weld in the rain. This rain will give me a chance to sit indoors today and get my list of friends who are helping me with the tour together. I want them to only be here a couple of hours so they can go out and enjoy the tour.
