Featured Artist: Eastern Wind Glass

Another artisan you will meet at my Fall Art Bash is Dixie with Eastern Wind Glass.

 

One of Dixie's first creative endeavors was studying fashion design. From there she went into retail management. She took her love of color and texture from fabrics to glass. She has been working with stained glass for more than 20 years and fused glass almost as long. She opened her shop in 2008 to share her knowledge of glass and provide a place for other glass makers to find supplies and take classes.

 

Eastern Wind Glass is located in downtown Bremerton near the corner of Callow on Burwell.There you will find an assortment of supplies for glass art making, both stained glass and fused glass. Have a stained glass piece that needs repair? Contact the shop to discuss your needs. Or perhaps you have an idea for a custom piece in mind. They also have glass art from several glass artists for sale. And they offer a wide variety of classes.


There are classes in both stained and fused glass for kids and adults. They provide all the tools.  Classes include beginner and advanced classes. See the full schedule on her website. For those who already have the skills studio and kiln time can be purchased.  Classes also are posted on their Facebook page. Check the website for the store hours and be sure to stop in the next time you are in Bremerton.

Snakeskin Jasper

Last month I used up the last of these pretty snakeskin jasper teardrops. Some of these stones have such intricate patterns.  

One on right is sold.

Snakeskin jasper is a stone of protection and invisibility. 

Always makes me think of Harry Potters cloak!

It guards against negative attitudes and actions. 

Its energy is useful in moving energy and can be helpful during massage. 

It can also be helpful during meditation, bringing one peace of mind. Snakeskin jasper is also thought to bring productivity and abundance to our minds and bodies. 

One on left is sold.

Red Creek Jasper

I found the most gorgeous red creek jasper when I was last in Tuscon. Last week I had finally had a chance to create some new necklaces with these stones.  

Sold. Red creek jasper mixed with ocean jasper and fossilized coral.

This jasper is mined in China. It is also known by the names of Cherry Creek or Picasso Jasper. 

Metaphysically it is believed to bring balance and relaxation and, like all jaspers, it is a stone of protection and grounding. 

One on left is sold. Here I have mixed red creek jasper with agate, carnelian and poppy jasper.

As a healing stone, red creek jasper helps with sense of smell and promotes physical energy.

One on left is sold.

 Mystically it helps to bring balance to your life and aids in relaxation, 

as well as eases emotional stresses. 

Sold

 This stone is thought to be lucky for actors.  

It gives one the courage to speak out and be independent.
