From concept to production

I'm happy to introduce the firstRucus Studio glass ornament,

Traditional Santa.

I created this design for Artistry of Poland earlier in

the year and am very pleased with the outcome.

The sculptors and painters in Poland did a great job

of capturing the details in my concept illustration

of an antique German Santa.

If you would like to add this ornament to your collection,

I am offering the Traditional Santa at

$54 plus free shipping in the US.

The ornament is approximately 5" tall and has a Rucus Studio logo

imprinted on the bottom. Each will be signed and dated by me.

To order, please contact me at rucusstudio@gmail.com

We're headed to Mexico for a quick break before settling in for the winter. We'll be visiting friends who move to Puerto Vallarta several years ago from Seattle. I'm excited to see their store Miralo where Rodolfo sells his wonderful glass mosaic art.

Here's to a little down time before the holiday madness begins.

Now on eBay!

For the first time, I'm listing one of my original works on eBay.

It has been a very busy year and keeping up with orders and

requests has made it tough to offer anything outside of the shows.

This is my last available piece before Halloween,

so I thought it only fair to make her available to everyone.

The auction is only a 5 day listing.

CLICK HERE to visit my auction page.

This piece is number three of three.

Number one sold on The Best We Can Do challenge in September,

and number two sold at Halloween and Vine.

Thanks for looking and Good Luck!

It's All A Blur

I can't believe it has already been a week since we were in Nortville setting up for Ghoultide Gathering!

Saturday was a soggy day for our event, but electricity was still in the air. Before the doors opened, I had a chance to walk through the two buildings and look at the finished displays. I was SO impressed with everyone's work and the care they put into showcasing it all. I was very proud to know I had a part in putting the event together and it was getting so much support.

At 9 am when the doors opened my table was completely full. Then in a flash, it was as if I had nothing! Months of work and coveted pieces from my personal collection, all swept up and leaving in the arms of beaming collectors for new homes. I was completely overwhelmed by the number of people who rushed my table and am so thankful to all of you who came and shopped. I loved watching your faces as you ran to the table - eyes darting every which way in fear of missing something. I only wish I could have had more to offer those who couldn't get to our table faster.

This was my first time for meeting some of you, and I sincerely enjoyed visiting with everyone. Many of you drove and flew in from out of state and that means a great deal to me knowing you find our show and the works offered worth the trouble.

The days following the show have been filled with an outpouring of positive comments and kind words on facebook and blogs. The email messages we received from the artists and collectors who came to the show have also been wonderful and mean so much to us.

Thanks again to everyone for making our 3rd annual

Ghoultide Gathering show a smashing success!
