Bursts of color

Where I live in the Northeast the world is starting to come to life. Flowering trees and shrubs in an array of beautiful colors, birds waking us up with their song in the morning and the sweet sound of the peeps in the dark woods at night. Here is a collection of glass by some of our members that also shows the signs of spring!

Just click on any of the images to learn more about it.

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.
