Here are more photos from my September 2008 Art Experience. Sandy Roberts, Miho Miyake and Sonja Lee Sindell all had a great time and created some beautiful art work. There is one of Harold, too, as he is making our great waffles on Sunday morning before we all get ready and go to see the Tiffany Museum, visit Old Time Pottery to learn about framing and then off to dinner before the “festivities” start on Monday morning.

As you can see I haven’t quite figured out how to line up these photos but you get the idea. Everyone used their inate creative abilities to “play in the glass” and a great time was had by all.
Calla Lilies – fused glass using recycled glass and Unique Glass Colors.
SJ (better known as either Dr.J or Saulius Jankauskas) uses all recycled glass and Unique Glass Colors in his fused creations. This piece is based on photos of the angel trumpet that grows in my yard.
