Hello again

It's been since last year since I've posted, how did that happen? I went home, back to Columbus, OH, for Christmas to see family and friends. I also got a chance to stop by one of the glass galleries there to see this exhibit. They had a great selection of other major glass artists as well, and are very friendly. Even though they must realize I don't have enough money for a Christopher Ries. This is the gallery I went to once on a lunch break when I worked nearby and got a detailed explanation of the process involved in every single Lino Tagliapietra piece in the place. He remains one of my favorite glass artists as a result.

Since I returned there hasn't been a lot going on, just trying to get back into the swing of things for the New Year. Posting on the blog and new items to Etsy have halted for the past week or so, but that's about to change. Last weekend I made at least 8 new items for the shop, so over the next week or so I should manage to photograph and list those.

Holiday Silliness

If you search (the lower left hand corner) for "emma" in Seattle you can look at the snowflake I created. And also 14 other snowflakes by Seattle based Emmas (who are not me.) Of course I'm not really sure which one it was anymore. I'm supposed to be getting ready for the christmas trip back home to Ohio, instead I am doing this and just ordered several pairs of shoes...

Featured on a Blog!

I was featured on a gorgeous looking new blog called laundry.

I've just posted some paper ornaments for the holidays in my shop. Maybe a little late, but if someone buys them this weekend there may be just enough time to get them by Christmas.

They combine two things I love, beading and cutting paper with an Xacto. Also solved the problem of how else to use the paper hole punch I just bought. (The Martha Stewart paper hole punch that looks like a whale and so is called "Moby.")
