monday, monday

Another rainy weekend for the north east and another muddy show for daa glass. Thanks to all the shoppers who came out to support the artists and artisans in Montclair, NJ this weekend. daa glass actually had a great show despite the weather.

Friday night I tried to prepare for the show by getting a pair of Hunter rain boots. Although they are a little pricey for what they are, I rationalized buying them with the fact that I keep ruining my shoes working outside in the rain. I have been wanting a pair of these for some time now, so I hit the mall, excited to splurge. What a let down when I heard they had nothing in my size. Bummer....so I figured I would order a pair online. But then I was thrown for a loop. I am almost embarrassed to say I borrowed a pair of Crocs. I have been avoiding these shoes for years now due to they way they look, but needed something for the mud. Well, I have to admit...they are great. So comfortable, easy, and carefree. Bring on the mud with these shoes on. Such relief. I will be ordering the ballet flat style this week.

Back to work now. The upcoming week will be full of long studio hours due to 2 large reorders. So again the website will be put off for a few days...but soon enough we will post it online.....it's almost there...almost!

making the best of it

I love rainy days for the soft and bright light they create. To my eye, there is not a more beautiful light. It seems in the month of May most weekends were rainy and I was outside working in them (see below post). One of these days I decided to make the best of it by using what nature provided and taking some photos of recent one of a kind pieces. I uploaded some of the photos I took this day, along with some others from a different day, to the daaglass facebook page. Please try to ignore the mediocre composition of the photos as most were taken on the fly. If you like the work become a fan and stay connected to daa glass :)

Throughout the year daa glass creates many one of a kinds for the retail shows and for exclusive galleries and boutiques. If you would like to have a custom one of a kind piece made for you please contact daa glass.

back to blog

I've truely neglected this blog for the past 2 years or so. Oh so sorry. I am now making it a point to show this lovely little blog a lot more love.

I am still recovering from a crazy weekend of double-y booked shows which was hard enough to work with. The killer of the weekend though was the weather. Cold and Rainy. It was one big cold mess, full of soggy displays and buckets of mud. My muddy uggs pretty much sum it all up. At the end of the day daa glass still did well - I am always amazed at the folks who come out to the shows dispite the pouring rain. The die hard art and craft shoppers. I truely have a special place in my heart for them.

My studio is now crammed with two half opened 10X10 tents so that they can dry out and lots of fabric and mannequins scattered in random places to air out also. It's not an easy place to manuver around in.

Even though this past weekend was a killer and the next few days are still pretty messy I truely love what I do and wouldn't trade it for anything else.
