As we set new goals for the new year, we like to take a minute to look back at everything we did in the past year; the joys, the sorrows, the successes, and the setbacks, there is something to be noted in each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 was the 30^{th<\/sup> anniversary of epiphany<\/em> and to celebrate we themed the year Living the Dream. <\/em>What is the dream? To be self-sustaining artists who make work that they love in a medium they love with the people they love. If this doesn\u2019t seem like a big deal, think again. Not many can say they love their jobs, not many like the work they make, and not many are successful. With grit, passion, and perseverance we\u2019ve come a long way, baby! 2023 was the year to celebrate and we did so by using the most expensive, most difficult glass colors available \u2013 dichroic glass. Bling bling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n}

February<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our long-standing love affair with glass culminated in 2023 being the year of dichroic glass. Check out our blog post about dichro here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first piece in our new series was the Moonlight Dream Heart Paperweight<\/a><\/em>. Using swirls of blues hues mixed with sparkly dichro, we created the dreamiest paperweight that captured the romance of moonlight rippling on water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, because who doesn\u2019t love a rainbow, we took it to the next level and introduced our Rainbow Dream Heart Paperweight<\/a><\/em>, using the same technique but with the bold colors of the rainbow and a hint of purple dichro. So juicy to the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
