Glass Buttons


Hello all

A question: What do Edgar Degas & I have in common?

The Answer: We both have some of our work at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha.

One major difference you'll notice right away is that his can't be bought and taken home with you. Mine can! I'm happy to report the Joslyn Museum Gift Store will be carrying my kaleidoscopes.

Also, more good news in the fiber arts end of my business. Leslie at Ewe-Phoria Yarns has a larger selection of my drop spindles now. Both in bocote and cocobolo. They are specially made to be used as either a top whorl or bottom whorl spindle. Since the whorls are removable, you can buy additional whorls separately to use for spinning different weights of yarn.

Next week she'll have a new line of mine. Glass buttons. They're made of fused glass with a little touch of dichroic glass in each one. Check above for a sample of some 1 ¼ inch square ones for purse latches. There'll be more sizes and selection next week. Her online store is at:

Her real store is at 101 NW 7th Street in Pocahontas, Iowa

Until next time,

Leonard
