This beautiful work of art was in the Mountain Springs Corporate offices. I got to get up close during a recent visit to Hot Springs Arkansas. Art Chicks is coming up and I'm eager to get my hands on some glass and start melting....This art piece is made with fused glass water bottles.

  Found Frame

Funny coincidence ahead! During the last repujado class I taught at the Latino Cultural Center I was working on a frame. The final touch was to stain it. I put it outside to dry and when I went out it was gone. Turns out a fellow flickr-ite saw it, took this picture, posted it and wrote the story on his photostream, see http://www.flickr.com/photos/bbd/295818921/in/photostream/

It gets better, I commented on the picture and my daughter came by to see what I was chuckling about...and she recognized the name of the photographer, it turns out his kids go to the same school as she does!!!

Turns out that the piece got taken by a passer by--the photographer didn't take it...oh well, at least I know what happened to it!

I love handmade things both old and new. I'm easily swayed by anything that is hand stitched, painted, or carved. I want to learn how to do ALL of it. Right now I'm focused mostly on making beads, putting together jewelry with those beads, and repujado. Tomorrow, who knows...

I'm curious and creative, always questioning, sometimes talking back, often daydreaming, occasionally getting it right!
