Meet the Glass Girlz!

Welcome to the new Glass Girlz blog, a telling tale of crazy and creative things that happen in the lives of two artsy Mom's who have teamed up in the attempt to feed their family through the sales of their Art!!

Hi there... Me (Nicky Fairless) and my friend Sheri McDermott are two creative souls who met by accident at a lampworking class in a town far far away! When we found out we were both from Yorkville, Illinois, we instantly became friends by fire... and a year later www.GlassGirlz.com was born.

It is the eve of our very first exhibition in the Yorkville Jr. Women's Arts and Crafts Fair located in the Yorkville Town Square. OMG is it a lot of work getting ready...preparing the marketing material, stamping boxes and bags, creating booth displays and on and on. Whew!! After two really late nights, I do have to say that we are really excited and even thought there was a lot of little things to accomplish in order to make the big thing big... we are still having fun.

We have some great new creative pieces available... our glass work is always evolving... got to keep it fresh!!



To the left is Sheri's music note intricately carved out and then fired not just once, but twice!

To the right is my wedge of aqua blues and sea greens, which offers expert drilling through 3 layers of glass ... with out breaking it... and let me tell you, when they do break, it is so sad!!

These are just a few eye candies to entice you to make your way out to Yorkville and visit.

Next time... the fun stories of Market Day in Town Square!!

Well Wishes,
Nicky
