We were just back from our vacation and filling in for another artist at the Marriott. Lucia (our “handler”) asked us to fill in for Chip who couldn’t make it on a Thursday. The spot was different than our usual Monday spot. As we were unloading the glass from our...
Sandy and I took three weeks off from glass for some R&R in Sedona AZ. We enjoyed the off time but we are glad to be back in Maui and anxious to get going again on our glass art. I’ve updated our website to reflect pieces sold and no longer available, as well as...
The six weeks from the beginning of February through mid-March were a whirling derby because of Maui Open Studios in February and juried art exhibitions during the first weeks of March. Looking back at last year’s blog at this same time, I wrote about being out of...
We have been very busy making glass art to have for our upcoming Maui Open Studio on the weekend of 22/23 February. In spite of our kiln breaking down two weeks ago right in the middle of our sprint to the MOS finish line, we have continued to create new pieces as...

A drop pot bowl that was admired by many before it was sold to a nice couple from Oklahoma was our Tortoise Shell Bowl shown in the first photo (upper left). We had documented the mixture of glass used to create the piece including color, transparency, and weight....

As some of you know, Sandy and I took a six week driving trip on the “mainland” as we call the “lower forty-eight” here in Hawaii. On this trip a key stop for us as we drove up the Pacific coast was Portland, Oregon. Our interest in stopping there was not only the...
I wonder how many of you remember Lawrence Welk’s variety hour on black and white “television” (it wasn’t called TV then). Those were the days of “rabbit ears” and when there were only 3 or 4 stations to choose from. Anyway, Lawrence Welk used to say…”Turn ON the...
