NEW Penny Glass Girl Bangles

I have been working on this idea for awhile, and FINALLY they are here: BANGLES! I have listed a few Bangle Sets in the shop and will be listing a bunch more sets AND singles in evry colour by the end of the week. They can be worn on their own for a minimal statement or together in bunches (my fav) for a burst of summer colour.

I do hope you'll stop by xxoo Penny

NEW Spring Flower Pendants

Spring is here! Well it was here, but now it's freezing again:( Geesh. I'm getting over it by hunkering down in the studio and dreaming up spring with some new designs.

I've been working with Millefori a lot lately, they are tiny glass flowers made to be fused into sheet glass or beads. This is what they look like before I fire them into pendants:

After cutting, layering, firing and firing again, they look like this:

I do hope that spring appears outside soon. xxoo Penny

New Shop Update

This season has been a busy one for me, phew. I won't complain at all though and happy to be up and running into spring. If only the weather would catch up. I'm using my time indoors while I wait for the thaw, I've been in the studio a ton making new pieces for spring and summer. I do hope you'll drop by the shop and take a peek:)

NEW Brights Post Earrings

I have been working non-stop lately for two reasons: 1. I'm avoiding the winter weather that seems to be pervading the spring and 2.because I wanted to stock the shop with post earrings (my most requested item) in as many colours as possible. I often get custom requests for earrings to match my pendants and while I love to oblige, I wanted to make it easier for people to order these items.

You can find a whole bunch of post earrings in the shop but here are a few new options:

NEW In The Shop Today

In the Shop Today

I've been thinking A LOT about spring lately. I know I'm Canadian and all, but I'm done, I give.
At least I can sit in my bright little studio and dream of warmer days which I'm sure will be here soon. They have to be here soon, right?
In the meantime, here are just a few of the NEW spring designs in the shop this week (oh, and mention "springiscoming" in the coupon codes at checkout and get 10% off this week!):

More NEW pendants are being listed in the shop today! This time, these wood bezel and fused glass beauties I've been working on for awhile. I have sold these at craft fairs and in my studio for sometime, but recently decided they belonged in my ETSY SHOP as well.

Each pendant is one of a kind and is made in several stages just for you. I love the vintage feel and mixing the wood bezels and fused glass gives them a natural texture. Come by and take peek. XXOO Penny

Well, without further ado, here they are:

Process...

This weekend I was able to steal some time in the studio which felt like an incredibly good break from the chaos that has become my life in renovationg purgatory.

I snapped a few photos, just to document and remember how lucky I am to have the chance to work with my hands when my mind is bursting with to-do lists, shopping trips, decisions, decisions, decisions.....


I hope to update in a few days when these screen printed, then hand painted pendants and rings will be in the shop (fingers crossed that all goes well in the kiln).

I hope that you were somewhere wonderful doing what you love this weekend too. Penny xxoo.

New Bohemian In The Shop Today

I've been so busy listing new things in the shop, I haven't have the chance to stop by and say hi. The new year is turning out to be a whirlwind at our house with our house renovations coming to an end (soon, fingers crossed!).

In the meantime, while I anxiously await my new bedroom (yay!) I have been a busy bee in the studio trying to keep my mind off the progress two floors above. Here are just a few one of a kind bohemian style necklaces that I listed in the past week:

I do hope that you'll stop by and take a peek.

New Winter Fields Necklaces

As promised, I'm back to share a quick photo of a new series of necklaces that have been listed in the shop today (yay!)

The Winter Fields series was inspired by long winter walks and whispy, moody landscapes that get lit up brightly by the reflection of sunlight on snow.

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” ― Lewis Carroll

New Year, New Penny Glass Girl.

Hello friends. I really hope that you enjoyed your holiday as much as I did this year. I am truly beside myself with gratitude for the friends and family that surround me in times like these, making this a holiday that I will remember for the truly laid back times, slow cooking, chatting over many cups of tea and rummaging through the snow banks (finally, snow in Toronto!).

This year, I feel especially re-energized and so ready to get back to work. MY well-rested brain is brusting with new ideas and my notebooks are full to the brim with pieces that must get made. I have already begun listing some new spring pieces in the shop last night and hope to continue doing so as the week progresses. I do hope you can find the time to drop by Penny Glass Girl for a peek.

New Fly Away pendant series.

NEW in Penny Glass Girl!

Today, the weather was dark and dreary so I decided to lighten things up a bit and list my newest earrings in a rainbow of colours!

I love adding just a pop of colour to my winter wardrobe, and the best part is that these earrings coordinate perfectly with the pendants in my shop. So, match - or mix and match- away:)

You can find these earrings here and choose your favourite colour to brighten up your day. xxxooo Penny

New Items For Fall!

It's been a while since I've been able to post new work. Major construction and renovation delays have made working in my studio difficult these days, so I am thrilled to have had the chance to produce some new work over the last few weeks (finally!) and get it listed (finally!). The idea for these new necklaces have been running through my mind for quite some time, it was such a relief to actualize them and so satisfying to see them in reality. It's such a great felling when a piece turns out even better than I pictured:)

I do hope that you'll stop by and see all the new pieces being added to the shop this week. xxoo Penny

I've been recovering from Bronchitis (yuck) this week so haven't been here for a while, but thought I would pop in to announce my latest SALE. Over 30 items are 50% off in including all of these:

Stock up while you can as these are discontinued to make room for NEW WORK which will be making an appearance in the shop soon. xxoo Penny

Shop Update: Sneak Peek New Customizable Bracelets

Sometimes, inspiration for a new piece strikes me and I can't get produce it fast enough. At other times, I need to think about an idea and ruminate on it for quite some time. It's the latter senerio that went into creating my newest bracelet idea.

The inspiration for these bracelets came originally from the countless paint chips and colour wheels that I have been starring at for the last few weeks contemplating my newest home project - a total re-do o our third floor (more on that later). I wanted to create a bracelet that could be completely customized and provide a fun way to play with differnt colour combinations. In addition, all the colours can be ound in my pendants, making them a great accent when worn together.

Here's a sneak peek of the results:

I'll be listing the bracelets above in the shop tomorrow along with a custom listing and all my current glass options so that you can customize a piece in any colour combo you desire. In the meantime, if you would like to purchase one right away, send me an email at pennyglassgirl@yahoo.com and I'll set up a listing just for you.

Cheers, and happy weekend!

xxoo Penny

Penny Glass Girl gets to visit!

I have been so busy since my last community show, that I haven't have the chance to post here! Shame on me, i'll get better, I promise. For now, I'm just popping in to include a photo of my booth set up for the show, I had a few questions from others as to how I would display my stuff, so here it is:

My set up certainly isn't perfect yet, especially since at this particular show, the set up time is pretty short, but I have been working on building the right display for my work and I think I'm finally on my way. This past show was a community event at my sons' school, it was so well attended by old friends and new, I had a blast. Today, we are getting ready to celebrate American Thanksgiving (even though we are Canadian) and it's busy, busy in these parts. I hope you're having a great day too:) Penny
