Last weekend I picked up a copy of 1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse by Garth Johnson.

I was super excited to see that both, my spoon mirror and my marble 8 ball were included.

It was really cool to see the projects from lots of other Portlanders, and especially fellow Trillium Artisans.

Speaking of Trillium Artisans....this Saturday from 11:00am - 4:00pm is the annual holiday sale at the store (9119 SE Foster) as well as Trillium's 10th anniversary. If you are in Portland check it out for some great holiday deals, 20% off everything in the store.

Our house has been taken down with the flu, and recovery has been slow. Not the best timing, but gladly we are all on the mend.
These pictures are of a few mirrors I made for the upcoming holiday shows using Italian smalti glass. I bought the glass at SCRAP a couple years ago, and put it away. I was a bit intimidated by it, but now am hooked. I love it, and love these mirrors. My favorite one sold before I got a good picture.

The holiday show season officially starts for me this weekend. If you are in Portland and looking to start your holiday shopping, be sure to check these out.

Now through Dec 23rd "Little Treasures" at the Sidestreet Gallery.

Saturday,
and lastly in Olympia, Friday the grand opening of Matter.
Have a lovely weekend everyone, I am off to think healthy thoughts.
