Here is what I've been up to - took another awesome class at AAE Glass in Cape Coral, FL with Tanya Veit. I cannot wait to see how my new pieces go over with my customers, I just love them. Here are a couple samples:<br />

I had my left knee replaced in January, rehab is slow but going well. I've done some experimenting, nothing earth shattering yet. All of my apps have been mailed for the spring/summer/fall shows, 22 in all. And today I left messages for the buyers at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Botanical Gardens, fingers crossed.<br />
<br />
The new website is absolutely awesome, my mom did such a great job, it's more professional looking and I just love it. <a href="http://debysdesigns.net/">debysdesigns.net</a> I also updated my FaceBook page for Deby's Designs, LLC and have almost 150 likes!!<br />
<br />
Please stay tuned for more pictures and updates.<br />

A lot has happened in the last few months, knee replaced, job lost, great shows over the summer and now a new venture</span>. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">About that new venture, since I lost my job and the thought of looking for a job at the age of 51 was not at all appealing, I have decided to try my hand at the glass full time. A couple weeks ago I approached my dear friend Eva Sherman of Grand River Beads and Gifts (<a href="http://grandriverbeads.com/">grandriverbeads.com)</a></span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">to see it I could rent some space. Before I left that day we had started to rearrange the shop to make room for me and my goods. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Here is the space right now</span>:</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This past weekend I went to Delphi Glass in Michigan and purchased everything I need to have my own little shop within the shop. I am stocking basic tools, gorgeous dichroic glass packs, nice variety opalescent and clear glass all COE 90. If I don't have we can order it and I can save you some bucks (inc kilns, grinders etc.). I am proud to say I am Cuyahoga Counties only Authorized Delphi Dealer.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have a new appreciation for small business's getting inventory packaged and shelves stocked, tomorrow is day three and I hope to be done. The materials will be on the slat wall that you see in the picture above. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The first official day will be November 1st (party to come in Dec). All if my finished pieces are exclusively for sale here (see 2 display cases above), my website (<a href="http://debysdesigns.net/">debysdesigns.net</a>) and Etsy. Another cool thing is will be teaching classes @ once a week, for the schedule check either website above.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I sure hope this flies, I love glass and want to share!!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Check back, more news coming.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Of the 5 new techniques I at first loved the "Picasso" style pieces, they look a bit like stained glass. Small pieces of dichroic glass fused, etched, shaped, fire polished and mounted on a decorative bail.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqt_mJHLqy_2B1ZUZaVZdWdEhZ5lN3WDSzt47sUVNagOVGSa2iq-Xl2CS1BiqIcHjhx2lkuNgV4VOF2dfCsvFXlKDfPAZqPJyUhPwL21dP_5WKICSvgA00GxNCEO_mjHHX_q7uGGVKg4/s1600/aqua+etched.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqt_mJHLqy_2B1ZUZaVZdWdEhZ5lN3WDSzt47sUVNagOVGSa2iq-Xl2CS1BiqIcHjhx2lkuNgV4VOF2dfCsvFXlKDfPAZqPJyUhPwL21dP_5WKICSvgA00GxNCEO_mjHHX_q7uGGVKg4/s320/aqua+etched.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">However, I have really grown to enjoy making the layered scenery pieces. These are very time consuming</span> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">but well worth the effort. The process is four layers which requires; 5 firings, cut, shaped, fire polished and the addition of a decal, the finished product is amazing.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Next blog I will discuss the other techniques. I am finding it difficult to go back to the way I fired pieces before. I am really excited to see how well they sell at the shows.</span><br />

This weekend I started 15 pieces with 2 different processes; 6 Picasso style, 5 scenery pieces and 4 etched dichro. These should be done later this week. The Picasso and the etched pieces will be done tomorrow, the scene pieces have at least one more trip to the kiln.<br />

<br />
My surgery is scheduled for March 20th and my first show is Hessler Street Fair exactly 2 month later. I'm hoping to be able to negotiate the stairs 2 weeks after surgery so I can get back to the cave. I won't be able to go back to work for at least 4 weeks. We moved my office downstairs so hopefully I'll get the thumbs up to go back by late April.<br />
<br />
So that's what I'm up to now, preparing for Hessler and my knee surgery.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for new pictures as mom gets them done!<br />
<br />
Stay Happy,<br />

I took a class in January with Tanya Viet of AAE Glass ( <a href="http://aaeglass.com/">aaeglass.com</a> ) in Cape Coral Florida which has proven to be the jump start I needed. I have purchased a tile saw and upgraded my kiln to a programmable style and I love it. Everything I have done in the past was just practice for what I am starting to develop now. I look at glass differently and have discovered that there are endless possibilities to what I can create, my imagination and designs are limitless.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">So now with my new enthusiasm for my art I will be blogging and bragging more so indulge me it will be a fun and fascinating journey. </div><br />
Here is a couple of pics of what I am doing:<br />

I was told by a wise friend that if you are asked how you are doing at a show... always say fantastic no matter how good or bad sales are. Keep 'em guessing and keep it positive</span>.</div><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">I had the best time with a lot of grand old dames (they called themselves that) this past weekend and actually made a bit of money. I honestly think it was because was positive and made everyone around me smile and laugh. I will be back next year just to see my grand old friends!</div><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Next Saturday is Basket of Treasures at the Westlake High School and I am looking forward to putting a few more bucks in my pocket and hopefully make some new friends. My niece Olivia will be with me for the first time, I am hoping she takes to it and can help me from time to time.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Just bought the molds I need for coasters and candle holders and hope to start experimenting with them next weekend. Loving the new kiln, it does a super job!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Seriously considering going to the Glass Expo in Vegas next year, classes are really expensive but I think I would take away a lot of great information. We have friends there to my husband will have things to do while I learn new things, AND we can write it off... bonus.</div><br />

I am wanting to separate myself from all of the "beaders" and become more of an artist. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but anyone can string beads. I will miss it, but I will keep doing earrings, they are popular and my customers expect me to have them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I just bought a new kiln, it is bigger and better so I am going to start making tiles, coasters and candle holders.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Shows abound.... I wasn't going to do "craft" shows this fall but I have found a couple where I should do well. Here is the list (check out my website for dates and addresses); 23rd Annual Harvest Holiday Craft show, Basket of Treasures, Fall into the Holidays Craft Show and Laurel School Holiday Art Festival. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have also been accepted as an artist for the Holden Arboretum's "Natures Harvest" show now through the end of December.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That's all for now, will try to blog weekly as long as I have something</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> interesting to report.</span><br />

<br />
It has been a long couple months and I have only done 2 shows so far this year due to family issues. Thankfully the 2 shows were very successful and family issues are improving.<br />
<br />
My next shows are in Port Clinton, OH on July 10th and the Willoughby Arts Fest in downtown Willoughby, OH on July 16th <a href="http://www.willoughbyareachamber.com/artsfest.html">http://www.willoughbyareachamber.com/artsfest.html</a>, mention this blog for 10% off your purchase. Please check the website for all upcoming shows (see below).<br />
<br />
<br />
The website is done with the exception of a few tweaks here and there, my mom has been fantastic and has worked tirelessly to get it done <a href="http://debysdesigns.net/">http://debysdesigns.net</a>, please click on the FB "Like" for my website. Now she can focus on upgrading pictures for the Etsy site and add more items on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
<br />
Lots of new items, working with white decals on my glass and just made 20 pair of earrings using metals, gems and crystals.<br />
<br />
Would love to see you at my shows!!<br />
<br />
Live, Love, Bead!!<br />

I have found that talking to other artists is the best way to improve and expand my horizons. I find it rather interesting how we all want to help each other succeed even though we are competing for the <br />
same customers. Just this week I have reached across many miles, Queensland to be exact, and found a very interesting and wonderful glass artist. I also exchanged ideas with another glass artist that is quite successful on Etsy and she shared a lot with me to help improve my exposure. These are a couple of the reasons why I love what I do and enjoy sharing it with anyone that I can. <br />

May is already set up to be my busiest to date! I have decided to test my limits from east (Port Clinton) to west (Willoughby) and north (Hessler St.) to south (Medina) and all points in between. My mom had a mini show in Florida earlier this month with marginal success.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUq-Q9nkJQb5cQ8d7McWU-NIhroUWpk-KTzSfLqjPdIKvFAS4MDZXF_N68hXQJuwhpjLrWtu6H6yy22r9eQM1Utx3QfTbEpd5md2W9A6QAMa9QHvxX1jPTbTFVWseYN3DNZeQyFWUlxgY/s1600/wire+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUq-Q9nkJQb5cQ8d7McWU-NIhroUWpk-KTzSfLqjPdIKvFAS4MDZXF_N68hXQJuwhpjLrWtu6H6yy22r9eQM1Utx3QfTbEpd5md2W9A6QAMa9QHvxX1jPTbTFVWseYN3DNZeQyFWUlxgY/s320/wire+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The wire wrapping has finally been tested and I would say not too bad for just getting started. So far I have done three pieces this several more to come.<br />
<br />
My mom has been hard at work as usual, she actually works harder than I do taking pictures, refining pictures and monitoring both the website and the Etsy shop <a href="http://debysdesigns.etsy.com/">debysdesigns.etsy.com</a>.<br />
<br />
I am on my way to see mom and dad for a much needed week vacation next month. The plan is NO jewelry, but I highly doubt that will happen. LOL<br />
<br />
That's it for now - make it a great day!<br />

I was going to just sell my wears through my website but figured more is more and decided to keep Etsy going, it is a great site. So without further delay here is the new and improved Etsy site:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuk2jxgX0ew2wFm1mbBcMB48TQn_TloVs2jGm7UikuDnAl__6_hKvCrwG9Y1XC_z79aOgy3Oa3rEJwqyJkAO49bUgkzCRwiuacnb1Xro6ue0DodELFwQMCnn6LF09phyphenhyphen8_8ZbdPFEQlo8/s1600/Deby+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="80" l6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuk2jxgX0ew2wFm1mbBcMB48TQn_TloVs2jGm7UikuDnAl__6_hKvCrwG9Y1XC_z79aOgy3Oa3rEJwqyJkAO49bUgkzCRwiuacnb1Xro6ue0DodELFwQMCnn6LF09phyphenhyphen8_8ZbdPFEQlo8/s320/Deby+3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<span style="color: purple;">I am offering a 10% discount as well as free shipping throughout the month of March. If you see something you like let me know my shows are fast approaching and it may not be available later!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">Also the website </span><a href="http://debysdesigns.net/"><span style="color: purple;">debysdesigns.net</span></a><span style="color: purple;"> is fully stocked and ready to go thanks to my moms hours and hours of dedication to perfection. Let us know what you think we are pretty proud of what we have done over the winter. We have added a new line of wedding jewelry and I do custom pieces upon request just drop an email to <a href="mailto:debysdesigns@hotmail.com">debysdesigns@hotmail.com</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">I am finally learning how to wire wrap my pendants, been yapping about it for at least a year and tomorrow is the day! Watch for Etsy and FaceBook updates.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;">All My Best,</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;">My new website <a href="http://debysdesigns.net/">debysdesigns.net</a> is up and running, complete with all of the tentative shows for 2011 to date. I also added an online shop for easy convenience to my bobbles. I am still considering closing the Etsy Shop, but for now it remains open. My mom has worked for hours refining pictures and getting the site to where we want it, I think it is fantastic. How many moms do you know can do this for their kids... not many I am VERY lucky. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">I have gotten a little over zealous with all of the show applications I sent out last month, if I get into all of them I will be a very busy girl from May - November. Again you can see all of the places I have applied to so far and hope to see you at one or two this summer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">I finally took a picture of the "Glass Cave" complete with iron deposits running down the wall. It may not be pretty but it sure works for me..... for now.</span><br />
<br />
<br />

No more "craft" shows or shows I haven't sold a thing in hopes that "this year will be different". I'm not going to waste a lot of money on jury fees for maybes, this year is all about making money and being happy - rejection does <span style="color: red;">NOT</span> make me happy. However I am going to give one last shot at Medina, Willoughby and Hudson.</span><br />

Tried out the new grinder and it is ready to help me create some new pretties. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf_3XjgZKIu633B_clIMx5RdU4BhQT7WYP6zDofkGOj6ExOK3uLrHkh3xs46RZ02oEi1gpY5z5fqzxJpoWFVyX104zM97RMHlqy34EbceYvuhHacthM9QSvghkFHzVy7uBP13BGuxMUBk/s1600/logo2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf_3XjgZKIu633B_clIMx5RdU4BhQT7WYP6zDofkGOj6ExOK3uLrHkh3xs46RZ02oEi1gpY5z5fqzxJpoWFVyX104zM97RMHlqy34EbceYvuhHacthM9QSvghkFHzVy7uBP13BGuxMUBk/s1600/logo2.jpg" /></a></div><span style="color: #351c75;">Best news is Mom and I (mostly Mom) have begun work on the new website (debysdesigns.net). Trying to get everything in place for an online store and all the information you could want on what I am up to. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Show apps have already started to filter in so new pieces and pics need to be done asap. Was shocked to hear that the HUGE St. John Westshore show was canceled for this year due to construction. I was sure that this was my year to be accepted - LOL. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Not much else to report, I will send more info from the "cave" next week, perhaps even a picture or 2.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Wishing you health and wealth for 2011.</span><br />

With getting ready for the holidays and taking care of family, time just gets away from me. Santa Mom came through with an awesome grinder that I can't wait to play with, new designs to come. My plan is to include wire wrapping with my glass cabs/pendants to add a special touch to make them even more unique. <br />
<br />
I want to thank my friends for their support and continued interest in my jewelry, it means a lot to me. A special thanks to my mom for all that she does for me and that is A LOT. I wouldn't have my website or Etsy shop without her, <span style="color: red;">LOVE YOU TONS MOM</span>!<br />
<br />
Speaking of websites, I have decided to do away with Etsy and ArtFire and go strictly with my own online store through my website; <strong><span style="color: #351c75;">debysdesigns.net</span></strong>. It isn't set up yet but will be soon, I'll keep you posted. <br />
<br />
I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season and a fantastic 2011!!!<br />
<br />
All the Best!<br />

Today it is very gray and gloomy as it tends to be in Clevleand Ohio in November, at least it isn't snowing...yet. <br />
<br />
I was that the clothing store yesterday and noted how much gray/grey was out for this year. My mom even told me that the trends for Fall 2010 are; gray, grape/purple, turquoise and as always black. That being said I must say that one of my better makes is the Gray or Smokey Quartz and Tiger Jasper pieces seen below. There also a pair of earrings very small and subtle.<br />

Last night was spent in the glass cave, just me and Santa. I made some really cute Santa ornaments for my upcoming show and for friends.

I do need to make more snowmen and santas they have been quite popular. I am teaching a class on glass ornaments November 26th at GRB ( <a href="http://www.grandriverbeads.com/">http://www.grandriverbeads.com/</a> ) sign up online, by phone or in person.<br />
<br />
Next project is wire wrapping my glass pendants, need help from my wire friends for sure. I have asked <span style="color: red;">Santa</span> for a grinder for <span style="color: #274e13;">X-Mas</span> I already have it picked out and on my wish list from Delphi and I have been <em>really</em> good this year! I need to make some fabulous pieces for the juries next year, tired of being rejected from the BIG shows.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to check out Etsy for gifts and I am happy to do custom orders as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have a great week!<br />

The ornaments have been a HUGE hit and I need to get them to all of the shops next week without fail.<br />
<br />
Had a great party at mom's last weekend, I sure do love all of her friends. I have my last show for 2010 St. Raphael's Shopping Gala in Bay Village on Nov. 30th from 6-9 p.m. (more info as it gets closer) and another party in December. <br />

<br />
I do love the shows and selling to the public but I am definitely looking to taking a break. I told mom that we will not be discussing the business at all over X-Mas, just enjoy each others company and relax.<br />
<br />
Be Happy!<br />
