Willo Glass

So I got word today that I am on the wait list for the Tempe Festival of the Arts. 550 artists applied for 320 booths, so competition was high. I will keep you all posted if my name gets called up; in the meantime, put November 7th on your calendars; the 2nd Annual Willo Art Walk will be held from 10-4. Each artist will have a booth set up at their homes here in the Willo Historic District. I'll be working out of my studio/garage. In the coming weeks, I'll post some photos of what I've made. Hope to see you there!

Newest creations. I call these my Lollipop Flowers. Mosaics using glass. Just FYI, they are NOT translucent. About 5" in diameter. Will be available for purchase at the Willo Art Walk on November 7th (and hopefully🤞🙏 at Tempe Festival of the Arts).

Gearing up for the fall and winter shows. Here are some new garden stake creations. I have applied for the Tempe Festival of the Arts, and will know by mid-September whether or not I was selected🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏. I am also participating in the Willo Art Walk on November 7th. Stay tuned and wish me luck!

Haven't posted in quite some time. A VERY belated thank you to all of you who came out to the Willo Historic District Home Tour in February and stopped by my "booth"(located in our driveway😁); once again, it was a very successful sale, and I'm very grateful for your support. We (my hubby and I) were able to surprise some folks at our local gas station and fill up their tanks, thanks to you all.
Next up, I will be at the Knoxville (Iowa) Garden Gala this coming Saturday. In addition to the "brought back by popular demand" chickens and the new tiny frog princes i posted about last time, i have two BRAND NEW garden stakes that I am premiering this weekend. The first one is a Daffodil; available in the traditional daffodils colors of yellow and orange (yes, i know they come in white, also, but we're talking colors here😉).
The other one doesn't have a name yet; I'm totally open to suggestions! It's what you get when you deconstruct a Christmas jingle bell, bend back the opening, and attach glass petals. I will have a few of each new product for sale at the Gala on Saturday. If you're not attending and need to purchase something, DM me; otherwise, I'll see you there!🌻🌷🌹🪷

So we're down to 2 weeks from today😳. This here elf at Willo Glass is burning the midnight solder😉 to have a good supply of wonderful pieces for purchase. Sunday, Feb. 15th. The Home Tour is from 10a-4p. The street fair is 9a-5p. For those of you who have never been here, my address is 104 W. Holly St. Phoenix 85003. I will be set up in my driveway which is north of Holly facing 3rd Ave. Come tour the homes (tickets available online or day of event) and/or the street fair(free).

Upcoming event: The Willo Historic District Home Tour on Sunday, Feb. 15th, from 10-4. As always, I'll be set up in our driveway in front of my studio. Here are a couple different garden stakes that will be offered. A brand new piece, princely frogs🐸 are available in orange or green. The chicken🐔 is back by popular demand. These, as well as many other items, will also be available at the Knoxville Garden Gala in Knoxville, Iowa, on April 11th.

Wow, wow, wow. A HUGE shout out to all of you who came down to the Festival and made this one of my most successful shows ever🙏. I'm beyond grateful. Thanks to all of you, I will be able to give more to my favorite charities. My next "show" is February 15th, the Willo Home Tour. Stay tuned. May you all have a blessed holiday.

All set up and ready to rock and roll! See you soon!!!

Coming down to the wire. This is some of the art I will be selling at the park Saturday and Sunday the 13th and 14th. Booth #9 at the far west end of the Festival.

I think this one is my personal favorite this season. The petals are curved. A little backstory: someone knew i did stained glass and had a (literally) falling apart stained glass lampshade which they gave to me. It's been sitting in a bin for over a year; today I dug it out, tore it apart, and using a rondel (the light green handblown center), I came up with this. I have a few more pieces from the same shade, slightly different shape, and hopefully will get that done as well. T minus one week: Dec. 13th and 14th at Margaret T. Hance Park in downtown Phoenix.
