Thinking green...

I'm telling myself to be thankfuk for all the wet weather we've been having, after all I just planted more rye for Henri's grazing enjoyment.

Spring is on it's way....

At least that's what I keep telling myself! We've had alot of snow... maybe not... the past few winters have been so mild I've gotten spoiled....
Yesterday I went to the Carolina Alpaca Breeders Show and looked at several hundred of these calm and peaceful animals. I'm still preparing for the arrival of mine in April and with all the snow we've had I feel I'll never get Henri's Castle finished.... My husband is building it and it is 16 x 10 plenty of room for three alpacas and a small feed room...

where it comes from...

I’ve always called my grandmother the queen of recycling, she never throws anything away! She was born and raised in the early 1900’s living a resourceful life, mostly out of necessity and influenced by the great depression. As a child she would gather the cotton string after the tobacco harvest to crochet into doll clothes, finding purpose for items that most people throw away, so I guess I come by it naturally. I love glass and I love working with the heat of the torch and when I thought to start making bottles into glasses and pouring vessels I felt I had found my purpose with glass! I hope you enjoy these drinking glasses. They are all made from 100% recycled glass, either found by me or saved by thoughtful friends. I create in my studio nestled in Northern Chatham County on what I call Hexapoda Farm….
