My glass Cape Breton and Me
New Season
Well here we are again 5 weeks away from the cruise ship season. So we have been digging in cupboards and drawers to find findings and molds we have been buying for the last 10 years and saving for when we had time. We made a conscious decision this year to purchase as little as possible and use up what we have on hand. The start of the year works out well no promises for later however.
Have done several new dichroic pieces.A smaller pendant that we will put on a leather cord.
Hopefully they will be good sellers
Had made some dichroic hair clips several years ago and they were popular products. Found a few more findings so will have them on the table as well.
Had lots of beads and memory wire for bracelets and as well found some magnetic hematite
so bracelets it is:
There are more colours but all in the same style. Memory wire now used up but still a few hematite strings left.
Have lots of pieces of sea glass picked over a life time of wandering beaches so am playing with a few ideas. Neither one I am really happy with at the moment. Thought of putting some pieces in a wire cage.
Its kind of okay but doesn’t show up like I hoped it would.
The other I really like the concept but can’t find the right finding. I want our visitors to take home a little bit of Cape Breton with them. So what better than sea glass and sand from Dominion Beach.
Really want an oval hollow glass dome but the domes I can find are solid and made to show or magnify pictures. Will keep looking.
2012 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner can carry about 250 passengers. This blog was viewed about 1,300 times in 2012. If it were a Dreamliner, it would take about 5 trips to carry that many people.
New Pieces
WOW long over due but finally got back to taking some pictures and uploading here. We will start with some cast jewelry done with mixed frit colours.
A new piece of cast dichroic. 
And some tableware etc.

Last night was a great night for local artisans and musicians in Sydney. I wandered Charlotte St for a bit and saw lots of friends as well as great art and performances. No doubt it was a great success and looking forward to future events.
My friend Shari had some great pieces I was anxious and needless to say I wasn’t disappointed.
Our friend the racoon, in
a hurry to get to Sydney in time, although he maybe hitch hiking the wrong way. Good news he made it.
The fox was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately I didn’t get a good shot of the crows but Shari did so I borrowed hers..
He wasn’t that bright but my flash was.
Congratulations to all who participated, job well done. Hope to see you all and more next year.
