Nine people came to Words on Pages Bookstore in Paw Paw for a Glass Frit Suncatcher program on Friday evening. They created some fantastic glass art pieces!

We had a wonderful time watching them do some really fine, detailed work.

Thanks to the Angola Performing Arts Academy for having us at their camp this year. We had a great time spending an afternoon with them creating glass art.

Thank you to everyone who came out to Magical Realm Fantasy Faire this past weekend!

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be in the booth much due to site admin duties (I walked 50,000 steps during the two days), but know that Willow and Patty took good care of you. They both handed out many trinkets!

Also heard there were lots of interest in the glass dragons. If you would like a dragon in specific coloring, please let us know and will create one for you.

I didn’t get many pictures other than these. Had to spend a little time in jail. I was stopped by a quest group led by King Oren and falsely arrested for being “Tom Foolery.” I was slightly scolded by Lady Thistledown while there for not sitting down to rest for a few minutes.
