Before the trip, days were busy because of the gifts we wanted to prepare. It was great to work on pendants, bracelets. I had lots of creative time with my friend, with my daughter…. at the end we had gifts for everyone! I called them my army: pink, blue, brown, red, some with flower some without flowers… I think there were 10 pieces… Each of them was special and ended up with a special friend. It was pleasure to see happy faces, happy ladies… It is always nice to give your joy to others!!!!

I do not have pictures of all the pieces of the little treasure. I saved only one – the Blue Pendant with new color ideas, with the white and blue mini mosaic design. We did not have time for pictures… time was running to fast… but we took photos of beautiful old buildings… soon I will prepare mosaic made by life.

The Red Summer

one more tree…

and the old two trees blooming this year again

It was great to work together LeeAnn. Thank you!

Someone would say “It is boring, one tree after another, all the time the same tree….” My answer is “Every time it is a new tree, new shape, new story, new friend who would be happy to have that piece, new joy”

I cut and shape the glass for background in no time… From 3 or 2 hours I came down to half an hour, so now it is a pleasure not hard job The creativity starts when I start to put the flowers together. I like to transform my mood into the shape. I have quiet, happy, ready for challenges, romantic or friendly versions of the trees.

I wonder what color and shape I would use next time…

It looks like I am almost done with organizing my life and I will be able to return to my mosaic frame soon…. A blond hair girl is waiting for mosaic sky and grass with lots of flowers – mosaic flowers of course

I should go back to glass shop in Redmond… I should be there one month ago but because I work at the time the shop is open, it is mission impossible for me…. Maybe one day will be the day.

Right now I have to focus to find the spare time to finish next project… I hope it will be soon

It did not take too long for me to return to my corner

My friend LeeAnn had birthday this week, so I prepared this small gift for her. For the first time after two months of break I made a tree – different than rest of my trees in the shape, new but old. It is a tree at the bank of a river…..

I am really busy with my new job. I hope soon everything will settle down and we find the balance to have time, be happy and enjoy the great time in our lives.

These pictures were taken earlier…

Welcome if you are first time on my blog I hope you will like my work, my designs… It is my passion, my joy, my way of expressing myself.

Have a nice time here in my little word full of magical glass, tiles and Millefioris.

I used these flowers second time, first I had two trees in the garden, now there is one big tree.

As usual, I played with the shots. I hope the flowers will make people happy!

I did not have lots of time to prepare pendants for art show and at the end I felt like I had to do as many as I could, I did not have enough time, I could not do new ideas… but I really wanted to do one more boat (not new idea but technique I was not very familiar with, new boat meant lots of time for cutting glass to fit into a circle pendant)… Finally I decided to go for my dream.

I had really nice time doing that boat. I was in right place, I fulfilled my vision. I found energy for new creations. I found I had to do new creations to be happy with them… and to do nice pieces.

I know I can not do everything what I want all the time but it is good to stop from time to time and remind myself about the goal

It is good to have dreams/ visions, to follow them and to try to accomplish them.

One more time stained glass relieved all the beauty when I cut it and showed the edges… All the colorful layers of glass, shiny surface….
