New work in the works!

Man I can't tell you how incredibly THRILLED I am to be getting back to some brand-spankin' new glasswork that I am rolling out for this season! I've not been able to work for about 6 months due to a back injury but I am finally on the mend, so I am able to get back to it! Horray! (I have to say, when you have the creativity bug, it is REALLY hard to not have the choice to work......I surely have been feeling nutty without it, although I crocheted about a bazillion little dish cloths in my healing time).

So keep your eye out as I will start getting some of my new lampworked beads, fused goodies and jewelry finished up and posted in my ETSY shop, as well as, posting some tasty tidbits right here. Art, in any form (but especially glass) sure soothes my soul! Can't wait to share the love with you, too!

ARTIST O' THE WEEK!




Alrightly people- let's kick off this week featuring one of my personal fav's from Etsy.com: 
Upcycle/trashion QUEEN: Funky Luke Cosmic Art by Laura! 

Now recycling is my lifestyle and I truly appreciate others that are finding NEATO and CREATIVE ways of re-using things that otherwise might go by the wayside.  And not only does Laura come up with groovy things- she does it with a boatload of humor!  Yes- you can have art and humor in the same sentence! :)

Want cool and environmentally savvy items?  Just visit Laura on:
Funky Luke Cosmic Art @ Etsy.com  

Buy handmade- everytime!  You'll feel like a person reconnected with the real, human world! (and ohhhhh.....it feels SO GOOD)!
Oh yeah- she blogs too: Funky Luke's Blog
