It's Never Too Early

For the greens of spring! I was working with a black and white piece of glass yesterday. The glass clock that I was making came alive when I introduced the neon green. I may not always know what time it is, but it's always time for neon green! The clock will be going into a show called "It's About Time" at Maine Art Glass Studio in Lisbon, Falls, Maine. The face of the clock is done with vitreous paint, black on white glass. The clock mechanics are a Westminster Chime (battery operated) with a gold pendulum. I'll post a photo of it soon. There are no numbers on the clock and the hands are a bit obscure...my intention, since I'm trying to slow time down when in the studio.

It was the green that made it all work. Somehow, green always does!

All About Time

In the studio this morning working on a glass clock for the clock show at Maine Art Glass Studio in Lisbon Falls. The opening reception is 7pm this Friday evening, the 13th. I'm figuring a bit of fusing and some 'fritting' will be in order. Hopefully, I'll have a picture to post by Friday of the finished piece.

I'd much rather be out on the river hanging out with the ice bergs and my camera this morning. The formations are amazing and enticing. The clam flats are visible...could it be....spring?
