Spring Fling

Spring has sprung, and in inspiring fashion! After the huge blizzard we had in the Northeast U.S. this winter, I am more relieved than ever to hear the birds chirping in the newly budding trees. It seems the talented artists of the CGGE have been inspired, too. Enjoy these lovely flora and fauna pieces!

The Dark, Beautiful Days of January

Here we are, in the midst of winter where our creative influences may run to the icy cold days many of us have this time of year. I try to find as much beauty as I can around me when everything is a bit less colorful in the world. I've seen the rising crescent moon out my kitchen window; beautiful against the still dark morning sky, the crows that gather in the tree near my house early each morning as if to talk of the days plans before heading off for their days work, the various animal tracks found in the snow.

Below are some wonderful pieces from some of our Creative Glass Guild members that remind me in one way or another of the season before us.

The start of a new season

This is my absolute favorite time of year with the crisp fall air, colorful leaf displays, the pumpkins ready to be picked off the vine, shopping for new winter clothes and getting the Halloween costumes planned out with the kids. What do you enjoy about autumn?
Here are some of my picks from the Creative Glass Guild of Etsy that really fit into this time of year when summer, though officially over, still tries to linger, and fall is quickly taking over. Enjoy!

Helixelemental's pumpkin and green floral dangles. These earrings are like my garden at the moment with the colors of summer and fall rolled into one. Perfect for this time of year!




Inferno Glass Bead's "reigning purple" handmade lamp work beads. Purple is a hot color this year! These beads would be perfect with the new top I just bought.




JS Glass Art's Halloween Candle Holder/Candy Dish. Just right for a pretty candle or to fill with some yummy Halloween candy!





Kerichrystian's "I love orange". Wonderful color and style to this bracelet of seed beads and shells.




Home Fried Bead's "Booooo". Halloween Mummy Focal Bead. This is just the cutest bead. I may just scoop it up myself!




Lawatha's "Leafy Tree". Fused glass pendant. The magestic tree in autumn splendor. Just beautiful.

Autumn Is My Favourite Season

I have always loved Autumn/Fall. My Brother would tell you it is because my Birthday falls in October but don’t believe a word of it. It is because the world becomes a rich pallet of my favourite colours; rich russets and burnt oranges. I enjoy the crisp air and the dramatic light over the landscape on my early morning walks. As a child I delighted in shuffling through the rustling fallen leaves. Not to mention the harvest festival and Halloween parties that add a little fun and celebration too as the longer winter nights draw in.

Here are a few of my favourite autumn pieces from CGGE members
