How it began...

ArtPrize is a huge art competition in Grand Rapids and I have wanted to participate since it began.  Seeing anything from pop bottle flowers covering a lawn, to beautifully painted murals, mosaic art, sculptures, and anything in between inspired me.  I loved the diversity of it all and I loved the fact that anything was game.

Since the first year, they have changed things a bit, added a juried aspect to the event, and it appears to be getting bigger.  But, I needed an idea I could really get excited about before I sent in a proposal.

With all of the negativity in the world and statistics documenting it everywhere, I had a real need to eliminate it from my life.  I choose to focus on the positive whenever I can.
 
So, how do I combine my passion for glasswork with my passion for my card and gifting business?  That's where this blog comes in.  There is too much to put into a short description. More to come!  And, you can participate.
