In the Shade of the Sycamore Tree

"In the Shade of the Sycamore Tree" - doesn't that sound like a supremely lovely place to be? It is and I will show you why. Cynthia's shop on Zibbet is filled with a whimsical world of pottery creations like fairy houses and animals that are flutes or banks or even bowls. You can find fused glass jewelry and beads. There are useful pieces for your home like platters and for the upcoming holidays find glass star ornaments. 

Of course you don't need to take my word for it. I will show you!

Where does all this creativity come from? I will let Cynthia tell you in her own words.

"My creative energies are inspired by a walk in the woods, reading a fantastical story under a Sycamore tree in my youth, a beautiful sunset, or the wonder of my students. I hope that my creations convey my fascination of nature, it's colors, textures, and forms, as well as, it creatures, as I share them with you."

Here are all the connections you need to find out what's new in the shade of the sycamore tree!

Sharing a Favorite

I decided today that I have been remiss in sharing and showing off some of the fabulous things that can be found on Etsy.

The pin you see here today is from the shop Niven Glass Originals of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Her specialty is fused glass jewelry. Her work in the shop includes birds, flowers, bows, divas and of course this hat which I marked as a favorite some time ago meaning to blog about it. Someone should own this beautiful piece, maybe you?

In the artist's own words-

My background is in Graphic Design and Illustration. Six years ago, I took a stained glass course that completely changed the direction of my work. Since then I’ve replaced my paint brush with a glass cutter. I now work full time as a glass artist, focusing primarily on the endless possibilities of fused glass.

I design and handcraft each piece of my glass art. The individual pieces are cut, layered and kiln fused at approximately 1400 degrees F. Most pieces are fired twice to ensure a high polish with smooth even edges. The larger foldover pieces require a third firing. The same amount of care goes into each design and every piece of wearable art jewelry is unique.
