painted glass


Painted Glass

I've been painting glass for the past 15 years. Its been an exceptional, reasonably portable hobby and my canvas is always a reclaimed item. I hope that you like this jar. I've made a few pieces since moving to Toronto.

I'm more than happy to take offers on the glass-art. I think that they'd make amazing gifts for the coming holiday season. Every piece takes days and days to make - so just make an offer what you'd like to pay.

This was a peanut butter jar that I've reclaimed

Bless Gaia's Open Spaces



"Let these things go, they have served their purpose well. The space is needed now."

Ahh, things, it is true. We do need 'things' sometimes. Anyhow, I'm not striving to be a perfectionist anything. Right balance is equally important. So sometimes, I need, 'things'.

Originally from BC, we moved to Toronto from Tokyo, via a short stay in Vancouver. We started with what we'd driven here; the two of us and the dog in a small car. We didn't have that much.

We're moving back to BC now. The vast chunk of our intensive 2-year education here in Toronto nearing completion.

For the past 18 months we've been studying Ayurveda and Yoga intensively. We had a collection of spices to add to our cooking, to make cold remedies or hot milk drinks. And, we had a lot of library books cluttering the floor. Shelving was pretty necessary. The majority I managed to get on-line actually, I was pleased.

It is my goal to teach people about this great postural therapy technique. I've known about it for the past 9 years and came to Toronto in order to take a teacher training program. The center of it is here.

Needless to say, I really need to open up the space in my living room.

I've subleased a great place here in the Annex. It is perfect for the lecture demonstrations that I need to give as a requirement for my program.

Back to the shelving, those items are for sale.....
