Arrrgh...Pirates Everywhere

I'm just home from Denver.  But had to tell you about at all the Pirates around town.  Who knew, landlocked Denver would have so many?  I grabbed this one from google search, as I haven't had time to download my camera photos.

They've been placed on city benches to help promote a Pirate show at the Natural History Museum.  It's been a kick watching people walk by and how they interact with them.  Needless to say, my friend Jill and I took a few minutes to take photos too.  I'll share them with you another day.

See you tomorrow!

Pismo Glass..Exquisite Artists & Offerings

Do you have some favorite websites where you go just to drool?  One of mine is Pismo Glass in Colorado.

When I lived in Colorado, (pre Glass Beadmaking and obsession), I was aware of it.  And now I regret that I hadn't visited at least one of their four locations.

The website has a variety of categories, including separate ones for Glass and Beads.  The quality and variety is superb.

Stop by to visit and learn.  Study what the artists have done and I'm sure you'll discover some glass artists who are new to you.

And if you have enough spare bucks, buy a piece and support our art form.

I own one of Terri's beads and love looking at it.  She demonstrated a few years ago at the ISGB Gathering.  It gives me cause to wonder which of our group will be next represented there.

Have a happy weekend.  See you tomorrow.
