August heat hit and along with the insufferable weather, a variety of life interruptions and responsibilities put our creative pursuits on hold. Jan and I haven't been seriously at work for a month and the place looks like an archeological site, all those bright beads buried under layers and layers of dust. 
A few small endeavors while on summer sabbatical. Finished the Mary Retablo with a background of black smalti.
Took this little fellow out of the kiln.
And a funny looking chili pepper...
Now in the process of being covered with beads and glass. 
Made a bit of progress on the outside atrium wall.
And since I couldn't be in the studio while putting new hardwood floors in the house, I brought the studio with me. A new window box valance. Have shards will travel.
