The Dog ate it!

Like the title says I've been very busy since the last post, but I've got nothing to show for it yet. I got my 3rd run (spring collection) of glass made on the 12Th of December. This was not without incident, but I think we got some of the best forms, that closest follow my original ideas. I've also got to thank Brodie and Nicky for putting me up in their beautiful house, in a bed fit for a princess no less!

I've also got plans to make a custom run of bracelets / broaches in the next month or so. I'll post some pic's in the next week or so. These are custom, so if any one wants, say a bracelet for their tiny hands give me a holla. These trinkets should end up pretty special and be to my normal, high standard of finish. They'll also be damn affordable, and would make a great valentines gift! E-mail me at conan.abel@btopenworld.com

I got this book for my parents for Christmas
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scandinavian-Country-Chrystina-Schmidt/dp/1845973526

It's totally lush and the antithesis to most of the "bling" modern furniture books out there. Its got loads of stuff in it by Alvar Aalto. He's a Finnish design legend and one of my favourite designers / architects. This bench is by him - I love it!
