I posted yesterday's blog entry this morning because yesterday I was yanked away from the computer by an argument as to how to best secure the pole for the bat house while the concrete set. As the argument was in Spanish I didn't have much to add, but I did round up

The first order of business, picking a winner in the critique-those-stands poll. And the winner is... (I am such a dork: I cut up little pieces of paper, wrote everyone's names on them, mixed them up and then picked one) Ren! She sent a long critique in email and her favorite stand was Ocean. Now, Ren, I need to know your favorite glass colors so I can make the glass for it! Thank you to everyone who participated and gave me valuable feedback!
I am happy that I can post the winner with a light heart as Andrea received her Cloudstone bowl yesterday (from the name-that-series contest), and Bridget received her seder set in time to actually use it this year!

Now if I could just get the photography right. I have to figure out the right background and the right lighting to use to get the most consistent results. As it is now, the color of the glass seems to affect the color of the digital image by warming it up or cooling it down, and I am just not good enough at post-processing to fix it. Could be that my camera isn't good enough. Could be an inherent function of digital photography (which is why both my regular photographer and the photographer for the book use 35 mms and shoot slide film). Could be I am just a moron.
Last news and then off to the studio: I got a check from the gallery in California whose order shipped the first of November. Where they did not do anything when I contacted them, they sat up and took notice when the Rosen Group sent them a letter saying they would not be able to attend the Buyer's Market shows anymore till they were paid up (I was not the only one they were stiffing). One more check mark on the to do list.

Have you invested in Adobe Photoshop? It can work miracles on your pictures...
2nd attempt here to comment--in case the 1st one decides to show up. Brenda, check out this blog http://nineesh.blogspot.com/ go to Fri Mar 23 and see the neat virtual mp3 player he embedded. It's right up your alley, but not sure you can do licensed music on it.

hey! holy crap! does that say "ren"??? groovy.
if it truly does and i didn't imagine that...i like earth tones...gosh.
hee. i am fairly giddy with glee!
Oops...I tried to say "congrats to Ren," but it didn't take. Hopefully this won't show up twice.
Earth tones as in the earth series (ambers and greens) or earth as in the forest series (greens and greys as shown) or earth as in Carolina which has ambers, purples and greens like the mountains of North Carolina?
