Scott Parrish will be at the March ORBS meeting for a demonstration on the use of 'Silver' glass. While the use of both striking and reduction glass will be covered, Scott will be focusing on the line of Chalcedony glass from Gaffer Glass. The Gaffer Girls have been kind enough to provide free samples of this amazing glass for everyone who comes.
Not a member of ORBS or the ISGB? That's ok....here's a few words straight from the president:
"Anyone can come to the meetings without becoming a member we just ask for $3.00/person which helps cover the costs related to food. You don't have to be a member of ISGB to be a member of ORBS. Our membership fee is $20 thru 12/31 and then it's going up to $25/year starting Jan 1, 2011."
So come on out and join the fun.....see your old friends and meet new ones. Get some free glass and learn something new. And don't forget to join ORBS and become part of a great group of artists who love to share their knowledge and experience.
Hope to see you there!!!!

20-50% OFF SALE ON SELECTED COLORS..... BAR & FRIT
Just a few pictures from our fun evening out at the Pilchuck auction Friday night...
what a fantastic time we had...meeting some very talented artists that love our glass.
adding to our excitement ...
the centerpieces were made from Gaffer Glass we donated to Pilchuck Glass School....
Celebrated Czech artist Jiřà Harcuba designed the table centerpieces. Considered the world’s foremost master of the art of glass engraving, Harcuba is widely recognized for his role in transforming the traditional craft of engraving to a fine art form. Harcuba worked with a team of 32 artists at Pilchuck’s Stanwood campus this May to create the more than 120 unique artworks that merge his expressionistic style of figurative engraving with the vessel form. Harcuba hand-engraved pieces of graphite that were then hand pressed into pools of molten glass to create the medallions on each hand blown vesse

What a great surprise to see your comment!!
The summer was great...way too fast but wonderful to be "home" for a bit.
I used to say that the States was "the real world" but after this summer, I'm changing
that....here is the real word, the States is where I escape to!! :-D
I saw some glass beading stuff in Denver and thought of you...but now that I have seen what you and your
friends do, I compare everyone and really.....you guys do sooo much better!!!
I think I actually told one lady about your site.....hmmm....i was drinking beer at the same time, so.... :-D
As for the dolls...aren't they beautiful!! may the good-giveaway-Karma be with you!!
And yes...please...share with "your people".....the more the merrier....and maybe more
chances of people wanting these dolls and will help me clean out my area!!! :-D
As for shipping...you might ask the girls what they would advise for me...'twould appreciate it muchly!!
the dolls are fairly light and most of them are attached to the bottom piece of wood...I was thinking bubble wrapping their
little bodies and then stuffing newspaper or popcorn (of the packing kind, you know!) to fill the spaces.....
good enough?
have a wonderful weekend!!!
