Girl Scout Project
I received a phone call from my sister yesterday. She wondered if I could pull together a bunch of necklaces for her girl scout troop. The purpose of the project is for the girls to learn how to gift wrap a box, and to have something to give a friend or family member.I thought I could easily pull something together and had supplies in mind. Always working best under pressure, I waited till 2 hours before due time, only to discover my original plans were not going to work. Yes, waiting till the last minute is a family trait. LOL!
All worked out for the best. I epoxyed a few rhinestones on two extra pendants, offering an idea for decorating. I am happy with what I did prepare for the scouts and look forward to seeing photos of their creative take on these simply pendants.

Up Close Sighthound
I've so many photos of my our dogs, getting up close with the camera. Always with a curious, goofy, "what are you doing" look on their faces. These photos are a moment in the lives of our pets, often blurry, but I'll never toss them. I thought I'd use the idea of these up close to the camera photos, as inspiration for this pendant.
Painted by applying glass powder on to a fused glass cabachon, with kiln firing between layers. A time consuming, tedious process, which makes a glossy imagine permanently a part of the glass.

Sweet Pea Wins!
Sweet Pea was the inspiration for Frums Glass Menagerie. She is always in the studio ready to help make stuff to donate to her favorite dog rescue organizations. She is a dog clothes super model, often working for mere biscuits. We are proud of her.Today, a bit prouder, as she is the photo contest winner in a fun, political themed fundraiser for Italian Greyhound Rescue Fund. She even won a necklace, which she plans to re donate to an upcoming rescue fundraiser.
Please visit this link to see the all the members of her party, the RePUPlicans, and to read about her. Check out the all the participants of the RePUPlicans and the BIRDocrats by clicking on the bone and the bird at the bottom of the page. NOTE: Sweet Pea's brother, Farful shown as a rePUPlican is actually a registered BIRDocrat. He blames his sister for this mistake, but stays true to being an Official Piddler General.

Adoring Greyhound
If you own a greyhound, italian greyhound, whippet, sighthound, any dog, you likely know the look. It's an adoring look into your eyes. Yes, sometimes it is the look of "I'm hungry," but often it is just a content, "I'm happy to be with you" look.
Here at the Frums Glass Studio, with the companionship of my sweet hounds, I have begun making more of these Adoring Hound pendants, in a variety of colors.
