The ACEO Challenge

So I belong to the Creative Glass Guild of Etsy, a friendly group that meets online to promote glass in general. There are lots of great jewlers and fused glass artists on it, but not too may stained glass mavens like yours truly. For August, they have challenged us to create ACEO, those collectible mini cards of original art for we who love the stuff, but cannot afford large pieces.

I came up with this mini evening landscape . The glass is a wonderful opaque steel blue and white combo, the moon in the upper corner is iridized and the wire work tree is silvered . Not too bad for a few hours work. Hope the group likes it. http://www.cgge.org/challenge.aspx

Spent another few days in New Jersey helping out Mom, so again , not much glass done. I did however take a wondrous picture of a merhorse so that is just grand. Sister and nephew still workingon the house. More small bits of glass up on Etsy. Oh and a wonderful link to the making of a Tiffany shade . http://www.tiffany-lamps.de/Customers_Information.html
