I have not set up a glass display outside our home studio in a few years. But on October I will. So now a quartet of rainbow starflowers are coming into being. This design came to mind as I am considering glass after I signed on to have a table from 10-2 at my school’s #fallfest - @pathwayschool_

Birthday Sale 2025
Last year I used this quote to lead into my reflection on the sale. Maybe we all need a reminder of Buechner’s wisdom.

#style is the prompt of the day. My abstract designs have a certain flow. Whether a card, a stained glass with no set design, or a mosaic that had a set design. I think the flow is there. #marchmeetthemaker2025

I guess the fact that I spent time birdwatching the last three days means the weather could have been worse. This was Sunday morning walking on slush with just a mist falling upon me in #Lansdale #birding #birdwatcher #weather #winter

What was a rather cold walk dominated by vey loud cardinals and mourning doves, ended with a flurry of songbirds. Including two rather angry sounding titmice.
