Sheet mica is my new obsession, I can get lost for hours just looking at all the sparkly colors and making sparkly shapes. I've made a great Tips and Tricks post for you with some of the things I've learned.
Sheet mica is literally sheets of mica that have been fired to high temperatures to permanently change their color. They are awesome!

Here we are, just one day away from the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. I always like to make a list of things I'm thankful for, I'd like to share some of them with you:
- My family, the ones I chose, the ones I didn't choose, and the great big family that makes glass!
- My job, I make art every day, it's the hardest job I've ever done, and also the best
- The Felines
- they are fuzzy jerks, but they make my life better every day
- I'm also incredibly grateful for all of those little things, like clean water and reliable utilities. This year has reminded me what a blessed life I lead.
What are you grateful for? I'd love to hear.
Have a great week!
Jodi
p.s. Utah friends, this is still
happening!
