I've had a busy week with both my MIL spending a few days visiting and my last show of the season. I only do about 4-5 shows each year. While this last one's not the biggest it is nicely run and is "hometown" so it's always nice to see people you know and be able to show them what you've been working on the past year. People always want to know "What the heck I'm doing in that garage all year?" This is my chance to show my friends and neighbors.

One piece that got lots of attention was my contribution to the virtual warm glass quilt many of us worked on earlier this year. This was a collaboration of fused glass artists with each artist given the task of making a piece that would represent one of the four elements: earth, air, water, fire or you could also do all if you desired. Toni Johnson worked hard to make this a beautiful site for all of us to enjoy. Lots of fusing techniqures were used so take a few minutes to see all of the great blocks. There you can read about each piece by the artists, which included glassies from around the world. My entry is the "Dancing Inferno" piece pictured above.

A fellow fused glass artist, Cynthia Morgan, has a great listing of other fused glass blogs for you to check out. Such a wealth of talent all in one place! Also, if you are interested in learning more about fusing don't miss Brad Walker's site to learn everything you every wanted to know and more about fusing glass. He has by far the most comprehensive "warm glass" site with a great search feature and a group of fusers that aren't afraid to share their knowledge.
