Design Inspiration

My husband and I recently took up ballroom dancing. It has opened up a whole new world for us. So much so, that I have had to invest in quite a few new frocks for all of the various dances we have attended. (You know, you can't wear the same thing twice...right?!) The strain on my budget has strengthened my bargain shopping abilities.


Yesterday, while scouring the local resale shops for fancy duds, I came across 3 wonderful sundresses that just screamed for some of my fused glass jewelry. I could immediately see the possibilities, and couldn't wait to get up this morning to begin working on the designs. I just love the graphic designs and vibrant colors. These definitely have potential.

My pieces are in the kiln right now. I hope to have them out and ready for a photo-op by tomorrow!
