Studio Tour!!


This is rather a late post about the studio tour but I have been feeling unwell for the past three weeks and have really fallen behind updating my blog!! My friend Edie (on left) and I went to visit Mary Harding who lives nearby to see what her studio was like. Mary makes the most amazing jewelry with clay pressed with botanicals, fused glass, intricate beading. She lives on a beautiful river and shares her studio with her charming husband. Mary let everyone play with the little pieces of glass and make a pendant which she fired after the tour and mailed out to everyone!!! We had so much fun we only made it to one other studio! :) Mary also has a beautiful blog http://www.maryhardingjewelrybeadblog.blogspot.com and sells her wonders on Etsy at http://www.maryhardingjewelry.etsy.com Please check it out!!
I'll post a picture of my pendant tomorrow when the sun is out!!

    Oh Cait! What a fun day! I love studio tours... they are a great idea. Can't wait to see your pendant, and I truly hope you're feeling better. I've missed seeing you around the internet!

    I hope you feel better soon! I've enjoyed looking at your blog, and seeing your scarf warps on the mill. Also your little videos. Since I warp from a spool rack, this all looks mysterious to me.

    Thanks guys! I'm not feeling better yet and they are ordering a new round of bloodwork and an MRI for my poor gallbladder and liver. And I itch! Everywhere--which I guess is a sign of gallbladder trouble. So I'm having trouble focusing on weaving that I have to finish to say nothing of sleeping! OK enough complaining!

    Susan, I never warped from a spool rack! I have one in the barn that someone gave me but it is all a mystery to me! :) I think I would need a sectional beam for that, right?? What do you weave? What kind of loom do you have? I'm always fascinated by other weavers!
