Open studio weekend was fabulous - in spite of the cold rainy weather.
Oh my goodness, so many talented artists and artisans.
Pressed flowers, water colors, whimsical oil paintings of roosters, jewelry, stone bird baths...
And then my favorite - the stained glass window I purchased at
Hot Glass Works in Jamaica, Vermont.
I've been drooling ummm, pining over their many different windows for several months.
I'm feeling very lucky that Bella chose shapes for the prompt this week.
While the overall patchwork of stained glass is made up of squares and rectangles,
The individual pieces have so many beautiful colors and shapes.
swirls and speckles and star bursts, petals ...
Hanging in an open space between my living room and kitchen,
I smile every time I catch a glimpse.
All items at Hot Glass Works are hand made by a very talented husband and wife team -
they've been creating these works of art for more than 30 years.
Have a wonderful day.
i really like the leopard print - what cool designs. ( :
