Barb (Babs) Dale
Once again I have moved!  This time will probably be temporary due to changes in my
personal life that is beyond my control.

I have expanded my art to now include some artwork on canvas and other medias
besides glass.

Since I seal my pieces, items like vases can be utilized for flowers, etc. I do recommend
if using fresh flowers, to put them into another vessel that will fit in side the vase to
keep from getting the green residue you can sometimes get with fresh cut flowers.  
This could even be a plastic bag with water inside if the neck of the vase is narrow.

I have opened a spot in a local co-op store in Ellensburg called The Pine Street Mall.  
This store is located on Pine Street just a couple blocks off the main drag.  If you are
ever visiting our quaint town, please be sure to come check us out.  Not only will you
find my artwork, but you will find a great variety of products from the other 15 vendors
located there.

If you purchased from me in the past or you are curious about care, listed below I have
instructions on how to keep your purchases like new:

Glassware Care: Treat your glassware as you would any type of art. Do
not put into dishwasher, but clean with a soft cloth or mild detergent. Do
not scrub.  When utilizing as a vase, please insert another vessel to hold flowers
as they sometimes leave a film that is hard to remove. Same with candle usage, insert
another vessel to hold candle or use one of the new battery powered candles now available
on the market.

New Collaboration:

I met Randy and Liz Lobe at the Vancouver Wine and Jazz Festival.  The name of their
company is "Against The Grain".  We quickly realized that we could create some
beautiful pieces together and soon became great friends.  Randy purchases wine
barrels,no longer being utilized from various wineries, and recycles the wood into
wonderful useful products.  Liz also makes beautiful and fun jewelry from a variety of
recycled items.  To check out their products and learn more about them go to their blog
