This week I’ve painted a couple of new candle holders. The first one was inspired by a glass I painted that has had quite a few favourites in my Etsy shop and been featured in a treasury (Treasury). It is of black cats and what I hadn’t anticipated is of course it fits the halloween …
It is blissfully quiet at my house today and I just realised why. The baby seagull has stopped squawking and is learning to fly – yipee! It is obviously so pleased with itself that it no longer needs to be twittering for it’s mum. I managed to get a photograph of one of its mini …
I’ve not exhibited in a gallery exhibition yet, so can’t really tell you the pros and cons. However I do enjoy looking round them. Gloss art in Exeter have just opened a new one displaying work from Devon based artists. I went to their open evening last night and it is definitely worth a visit, …

This will be my first blog in ‘real time’! I have just set up an Etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/arpglassdesigns, which I naively thought wouldn’t take too long as I’d already opened a shop on Folksy.
