a lively day
There's a lot of shiny stuff under construction.

The chapbook is moving toward completion (and, thanks to TNH, it has a title: Glass Bead Games).

I met with the hotel catering department about the Very Shiny Evening of Readings and Celebration at Fourth Street, and things there are proceeding apace. I'm really excited about that.

Today we get the first batch of fused glass Inner Magpie pendants back, and we find out if they worked or not. (EEEEEEEEE! On tenterhooks!)

And it's not every day that you wake up and find a message saying, "Good morning. Do you know that you've been BoingBoinged?"

success, and also a good discussion
The fusing worked! The dichroic did that gorgeous crinkle thing, too, which emphasized the blue, so they are much more blue than they were. I hope people are cool with that.

And there's a rousing discussion of art/craft/literature/found objects/interstitiality/beads/design/impossible runway fashion/writing and a lot of other stuff going on, which you are strongly encouraged to join.

And now I am going back up to the workbench, and also I need to make an emergency silver order. How can I have gone through 18 ounces of 20 gauge half-hard in, what, four weeks?

signed,
apparently a very worky beast indeed

ArtLog: in progress
OK, I've done some unusual necklaces, but this is the first one I've ever done that wanted three clasps.

I think it's called "Bordertown Runway Queen," and it's growing out of that IAF discussion I linked to a post or so back.

And also there's a long linked necklace in progress. No, longer than that. Might not turn out to be as long as "Somewhere Beneath Those Waves Was Her Home," which belongs to

truepenny (because it would not be denied) and which is twenty-three feet and ten inches long, but then again, it might. Haven't done one like this for a while, and it's kinda nice to get back to it. It's all twilight colors and magic spooky blues and purples and gray and lavender....
