It’s been a difficult week figuring out how to work things so I still have a tiny bit of personal life. Things like the cooking, cleaning, mowing grass and hopefully work in the gardens before the weeds take over.
My son very kindly pointed out to me all the failures I will have the first week as I experiment, making my new glass flowers. And how frustrated I get…. Thank you Christopher! Being a physicist, with a mind for details, he started rattling off all the things I will also be doing. Like taking photos of the new flowers, editing the photos on Photoshop, listing them on Artfire or Etsy (which takes hours), writing blog posts about the new flowers, taking pictures for the blog, take pictures for the tutorial, writing a tutorial each month, doing the bead giveaway and all the while, keep experimenting and creating new glass flowers.
Also while all this is going on, I am also working on a series of tutorials on flowers! It’s really a series on how to be an artist in lampworking and I am putting everything I know (plus my heart and soul) into it which is taking a ton of my time! OMG, am I crazy? That’s one thing about being an artist…. I have great ideas! It’s just figuring out how to do them!
“Variegated Blues Hydrangeas”‘sold’
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
So here’s the plan I have come up with for the lampwork bead giveaway.
1. I’m going to be flexible the first couple of months to see how and if I can make all this work out.
2. I am going to write 2 blog posts a month on how and what I am doing with my flower that month.
3. At the end of each month, which is also the beginning of the next month, I will announce the winner from the previous month and the new flower (or another subject like desserts) for the next month. This will be a very short blog post.
4. I won’t guarantee a tutorial each month, until I see if I can do everything else.
“Hydrangeas of Pink & Yellow”My hydrangeas are starting to bud out. This sweet thing is ‘Sold’
Now for the guidelines for the Lampwork Giveaway
You will receive 1 entry for each of these things you do. You can do as many or as few as you want. I have a lot of them to give EVERYONE as fair chance at the Giveaway.

My flower for March will be Apple Blossoms!!!!
My apple tree is blooming and I have been fascinated by the absolutely gorgeous blooms. It’s the first time my apple tree has budded so profusely. Actually, we had 3 apples last year but the squirrels got 2 of them before the apples were even ripe. We did get the last one.
My family of 3 sat down around that one apple, took pictures of it, then sliced it in 3 sections and ate it. It was an excellent apple! :)

on etsy I like the purple dragonfly/yellow hydrangeas best & on artfire I like the turquoise striped fish – I can’t watch the video because we have restricted internet usage where I live so videos are out of the question(so that’s discriminatory for people like myself) – the flowers & fish are always my favorites! beautiful work!
