Fused Blue Glass

Here is the bird feeder at the end of the slumping cycle. The first two pictures were taken when the glass is still in the kiln. The white circle around the glass is the drop ring mold. The glass slumps through the hole.



These next two pictures are of the glass out of the kiln. It came out perfect. Its a shallow dish perfect size for small birds to feed out of now I just need to
add the hook ground stake to it.

Fused glass bird feeder

This is the bird feeder I started fusing. its flat now but the next step will be too slump the glass through a drop ring mold. I have to be careful not to slump too far or the glass can hit the floor of the kiln. Ill have to watch the glass closely.

Harmonize with Nature

The temperature outside is currently 2 degrees, but the sun is shining brightly and I know spring will be here soon. Spring time is one of the best seasons of  the year. Everything starts out brand new.

At the start of spring,the spring equinox,day and night are approximately 12 hours long and the Sun is at the midpoint of the sky. Our north pole tilts towards the Sun.

SPRING EQUINOX March 20, 7:21 P.M. EDT/Just over a month away.

Ayurveda, yoga's sister science and one of the the oldest systems of healing, shows us that the key to feeling in step with the seasons is to harmonize with nature. Breathe in fresh air, meditate, love and respect our surroundings.

Spring Ritual....... Gather seeds to represent the things you want to grow during the new year .To add another layer of meaning to this ritual choose seeds, which represent to you personal growth,wisdom,

understanding, patience, etc. Visualize those qualities coming into 

full bloom in your life as you plant your seeds.

As you plant them, bless the seeds honoring the 4 elements: pat the seed in the dirt (earth), water it, blow on it (air) and light a candle by it (fire) or hold up to the sun. Express your gratitude to all the people, places and things that have gotten you to this point in your life. Invite the seeds out the formlessness of winter’s dreaming…asking them and yourself to awaken to the light of spring – to grow and thrive with new life and new possibility.

Springtime is magical. As nature moves out of the cold and into the warmth of  spring, New life emerges the earth warms, and blossoms unfurl, reaching for the sun. Nature makes it look smooth, but for us it's not as easy to transition gracefully from one season to the next. Embrace the outdoors. Once it starts to warm Start your day with outdoor yoga stretching and deep breathing. Set up an outside area to create in.

My new spring crafts and art projects will focus on using what nature has to offer us, recycling and giving back.

Look forward to a bright, beautiful, Happy spring.

Early Spring!!!

Today is Groundhog Day! The scene at Gobblers Knob Wednesday, February 2, 2011, was overcast and cold, so no, Punxsutawney Phil did NOT see his shadow on Groundhog Day 2011. According to Groundhog.org, "The Prognosticator of Prognosticators, Punxsutawney Phil, once again appeared at sunrise at Gobbler's Knob in the Pennsylvania Wilds to make his annual prediction."
