When the sky became night in the middle of the day,  an orange glow of twilight in all directions and even the insects stopped to take notice.  The eclipse, as we witnessed it in Nebraska was awesome. 

Stepping back in time to the ancient cliff dwellings of Southern Colorado was spectacular.  Even the antique steam engine that blew a seal ending our Durango-to-Silverton train ride just outside of town resulted in a fun field trip to collect rhodanite.

What was the purpose?  Graffiti, worship, record keeping?  The plethora of petroglyphs was stimulating as we stood where these ancient artists worked the images into the stone.

We do not plan to travel in 2018 as much as we did in 2017, but are looking forward to more adventures.  May your 2018 be blessed!

Dolphins make a splash as they leap over the petrified sand dollar in one of Sherry’s new glass pieces.  Sun catchers with ocean themes are popular anywhere.

Join us this weekend in Indio for the International Tamale Festival.  You can find us in the Artisans area on Smurr St.  Dec. 3 & 4, Saturday & Sunday, from 10:00 A.M. until dark.

Throughout the United Sates railroads have come and gone.  It was not unusual for railroads to burn their trash in pits near their tracks.  These old dumps have been extensively searched for bottle and other treasures.  Often all that is left behind is rusted cans, and broken glass.  We retrieve shards of china and repurpose them into pendants. 

Recently completed some “Railroad China” pieces.  Some are as whimsical, as they are beautiful.  They have been a popular new item that we make.  What do you think?
