Late Festival Pics

Just got an email citing the NASGA 2011 Festival page. These two pics -- the top one a much better photo of the Glosta stopper than mine was -- are found there:

Here's a link to the pics (including those above) of all the winning pieces this year:

-- And here's a link to a piece of Mackinac Island glass. I spoke of Mackinac Island at my mother's funeral, as one of her most beloved places. This was during the part of the ceremony when people were asked to take with them a piece of sea glass. Well, here's an amazing piece of sea glass found there -- read the interview!
