Signs of Spring!

The snowdrops are a first sign of spring in my gardens, I love them and they are very pretty engraved as well. This is a little candle holder available in my studio should anyone need a spring gift or just something sweet on your table. I have several projects on the go at the same time with different deadlines. I look forward to sharing them with everyone. As spring comes on and the weather gets nice the energy picks up and more people venture out and about. Most of my work so far has come from word of mouth advertising and I`ve been pretty low key so far, however I will be venturing out quite a lot from now on. This year I have started a custom engraving business and have yellow page advertising coming out soon. My job is to educate people about hand engraved glass. All the engraving in my area is machine engraving and I`m always very excited to show people what I do. I love belonging to the guild of glass engravers and am very proud to be an elected craft member. My advertising mentions the guild and I like to share it with people and get people in my neck of the woods interested in hand engraved glass. I have several precious patrons who frequent my studio for their gift needs and are always tooting my horn out there to others. The 2010 Olympics are in our area this year, very crazy in Vancouver now. The weather is not co-operating unfortunately too wet and mild. We are located about a 5- 6 hour drive away. There is quite a buzz in the air!
