Formally now, I am announcing my Window of Opportunity Sale. From now until 11:59pm Saturday, I’m offering two of my sculptures for 25% less than listed. Transaction must be complete by the deadline. See pics/info/prices below. Don’t stop, don’t think, just do.

More pics and info here.

I’ve been working pretty much straight for the last half a year and the funds will turn a great vacation into an awesome one.

You have 5 days. Then they enter my “retirement fund”.

I’ll be posting an AMA (e.g. Ask Me Anything) today.  [LINK]

It’s rare for a piece to leave my hands without some good pictures for my archive, but this one managed to escape the full monty.  I  found various close-up photos and a video, but that’s it.  Here’s a collage of those photos, the “whole” picture of my wasp sword.

In my humble opinion Gingerela Glass is one of the most talented glass artists period. She is constantly pushing her limits INNOVATING. No one will ever know what she will pull out next. You are not going to go to a glass competition and be able to call what she will be making. Keeping it fresh. Much love honey congrats you are big time! Everybody else watch out!!!

Thank you, Shelah.  This is the kind of stuff that keeps this horse kicking.

Just posted a fine variety of auctions in support of our Kickstarter project on my Facebook page.  Rigs, dishes, drys…  Link to my Facebook page here.

This little setup fits our living room comfortably despite the size of the room (12×12).  It helps to have one of those coffee tables with an expanding top.  When we need to sit six, we grab a large table top leaning against the wall and set it on top.  We managed to sit 8 this past Thanksgiving!

The LIDAN woven baskets just barely fit around the milk crates, so you’ll have to shimmy them on bit by bit and fold over the extra cloth.  PROTIP: keep the horizontal lines even otherwise it’ll look all askew.  Also, it’s better to use a thick chair cushion vs a normal pillow.  (Your bum will thank you later.)  Here’s what it looks like under the ottomans:

The grisly underbelly. Potential storage?

With an extra four inches on this coffee table, the ottomans/chairs fit neatly underneath.  Although it feels a bit short at first, we hardly notice it once the food hits the table.

When it’s just us at home, the minimized coffee table fits the space perfectly.  Indeed, a comfortable 12×12 living/dining room is possible!

Winning bid will support our Kickstarter project via matching donation!
