a new red glass piece makes an etsy treasury!

I took a stab at creating an Etsy treasury. It seems that the treasury system is one of the few free promotional and traffic driving tools for Etsy. Sort of a viral marketing thing, in that you get “favorited” by users featured in and viewing it, and you then have a better chance at getting in a treasury in the future. I chose my featured items by browsing my “favorite” sellers, looking for blue & green items. I found the rest by using the “search by colors” Etsy interface and easily found an eclectic mix of items in my color scheme.
just killin’ it with the striped bud vase this week!

This is a reblog of a post at my 1000 Markets shop.
Here’s this morning’s cold kiln fun. I’ve been trying out new shapes for my spun bowls, incorporating colored cane that my wife (the killer assistant) and I had pulled in previous blow sessions. By snipping down the sides of the bubble with the straight shears, I’m able to spin out shapes that vary from arrowheads to galaxies. So much fun it is!
Seen in the photo here on the bottom layer of the kiln are some large fluted flower bowls. More than one person has asked me when I show them my flower bud vases, “Can you drill a hole in that and put a lightbulb in it?” Yes you can, so last night I blew some prototypes that I will be testing out as lamp pendants. Lighting is another passion of mine that I will be putting much focus on with my glassblowing in the future.

Man this little tangerine & red fluter is cookin’ up the Etsy Treasuries!

My orange and red striped blown glass tea light is a hot Treasury item right now!

Wolf Art Glass made it into 3 different Etsy treasuries today. Yeehaa, let’s sell some glass!!
