My little working studio sits on the creek, its very tiny and not much of a show room, however it exudes ambiance and magic in its beautiful setting. How can I not be creative there! The internet is more of a showroom for me on my website www.marlenemoloneyglass.com or the guild site www.gge.org.uk or my blog. Its nice to have this blog for updates as someone else controls my website so I don`t have immediate access. My dear spouse Tom, my best friend, biggest fan and promoter made this space for me to work in. He also built a little area beside the studio we call the zen zone. A very private place to sit very close to the creek and enjoy nature. Perfect for uninterrupted meditation. Tom walks 10 km everyday on Naramata road for exercise and his meditation. He just made the 25,000 km mark walking that road! I try to do a regular yoga practice, however not nearly as dedicated as he. He also manages to give out my business cards at the same time! Our community of Naramata is quite small, a very magical place where many artists and craftspeople live. However, we have been discovered and now many new, very large and amazing homes are being built in our community. I`m very forturnate to be one of the local artists who are being sought out to create special features for these homes. I have a commission for two glass wine cellar doors as an up and coming project and Very pleased about it.
The Guild of Glass engravers just pointed out in our members forum that an engraved goblet by Laurence Whistler, the first president of the guild, has just been sold at auction for lb 6,600 , which is about $12,000.00. Awesome!! To view go to www.bonhams.com, go to sales results, go to past sales, put in 16 December 2009, go to 16901 New Bond Street go to lot 131, show details.
My last two completed pieces are heading to Vancouver as I`m writing this and once the owner receives them, I will post them. Right now a pet memorial is in progress.
