My booth is ready to go and the Holiday Market starts tomorrow morning at 10am. Come by and visit!
I will have a booth at the Holiday Market at the North Charleston Convention Center. This event was cancelled last year due to COVID-19. The hours are:
November 19, 2021 – Fri. (10am – 8pm)
November 20, 2021 – Sat. (10am – 6pm)
November 21, 2021 – Sun. (11am – 5pm)
I haven’t seen the admission price for this year on the event website yet, but in the past, tickets were around $5 for access to all three days of the event, and you can usually get a coupon for a discount at the above link a couple of weeks before the event. The new parking garage should make getting in and out a breeze!
I will have hand made items from suncatchers and ornaments up to large mosaic windows, and a special $400 “Seasons” gift set that includes a display stand. Get all of your holiday shopping done before Thanksgiving and be able to really relax for the holidays! Check out some of the items that I will have in my booth at this link. There will even be some hand made pendants / necklaces. I hope to see you there!
The resin cured overnight and the corner sun is complete. This is a neat piece as it can be hung horizontally or vertically.
My sister talked me out of adding the glass around the edge of the corner sun mosaic window, so I decided to pour the resin and add the blue shell background today. I prepared about 10ml of resin, which ended up being about 2-4ml too much. I poured the resin a bit too thick at the top of the window, so hopefully it won’t migrate too much while it is curing.
I also decided to experiment with some dichroic glass ornaments. I need to figure out a way to let the resin cure nicely on these, which is a challenge for me because they are small. I might need to find a way to let them cure vertically (hanging) instead of horizontally.
I like making sun mosaics. This one is peeking through from the top corner of a recycled window. I am planning to use the blue shell mica chips for the background, but might add some blue stained glass around the top and far left edges for definition.
I cut the “sky” glass for the top and left edges around the sun, but am still deciding if I like it. The glass is beautiful, but I feel like the stripes might be too strong. Overall I like it so far, but I haven’t glued the pieces in place just in case.
Poured the resin on the Mica Rainbow window yesterday – here is the result! Having trouble getting a good photograph of it, but here you go!
…of the mica rainbow flow mosaic. Added some purple and some “pearlescent” clear mica chips today.
I’m adding a little bit more every day or two to the mica rainbow window. It is slowly taking shape!
I finally got a snapshot of the large Frank Lloyd Wright inspired window installed in its new home.
