Selling Seashells by the Seashore
Just call me Sally. I never actually thought I would sell seashells by the seashore, but that IS in fact what I do now:

You Can Buy One-of-a-Kind Art on eBay
Click links below to view some of Mike's art glass on eBay right now:
Jellyfish Pendant #1
Jellyfish Pendant #2
Jellyfish Pendant #3
Until now, these jellyfish pendants have only been available in local galleries and shops, where they fly off the shelves they are so popular.
Click more links below to see some of Mike's other pendants we have up right now:
Asymmetrical Dichroic Fractal Borosilicate (Pyrex) Pendant
Sideways Oval Dichroic Fractal Borosilicate (Pyrex) Pendant
Lily Pad Flower Millefiore Borosilicate Pendant
Round Dichroic Fractal Borosilicate Pendant
Round Dichroic Fractal Borosilicate Pendant #2
Lot of 14 Lampworked Beads and Pendants
And then of course, here are some of Mike's marbles up for sale:
Optic Flower Millefiore Borosilicate (Pyrex) Marble
Inside Out Dichroic Borosilicate Marble
Inside out Dichroic Contemporary Marble
Seven other marbles already sold/auctions are over. We plan on putting up more auctions shortly. I'm working on more pendants in the moment. Mike is at work making more marbles, or so I'm told. I'll let you know when I get my own techniques down and something I make is worth listing on eBay.
Oh, and I GUARANTEE YOU, if you buy one of his jellyfish pendants, you will be really glad you did! (I am shameless, I know, hitting up my own friends and family this way. Oh well!)

My Artist made the Front Page
Mike was on the front page of one of the local papers here on Monday, and now the front page is on the side of our fridge:
They got his name wrong though (they printed it as "Warren Lake") so now we call him The Artist Formerly Known as Mike Warren, or TAFKAMW (we also think Warren Lake makes a great hippie name):
This glass layout, called a rollup, was designed and created by hand by Mike:
Edited 2/28 to add the text of the feature (it wasn't really an article, so much as a photographic feature with picture captions - here are the picture captions):
TOP: The Glass Station artist Warren Lake uses a high-temperature torch to melt colored glass into a great white shark's head as another torch keeps the glass reef pedestal (upon which the shark will stand) hot.
LEFT: The Glass Station co-owner and artist Joseph Reinik holds a finished vase created with colorful glass pieces fused onto and melted around it. He and his partner in the Blue Lake business, Scott Harris, each have about 10 years experience working with glass. Reinik recently finished a class from a master glass sculptor.
BELOW: An assortment of colorful items that have been handmade ahead of time are sometimes heated and then fused onto and melted around molten glass to make a vase with multidimensional features instead of just flat layers.

Happy Anniversary
Tommorrow, Saturday, February 23, Mike and I will have been together for a year.
Wednesday, March 12, I will have been here in Humboldt County for a year.
And for your viewing pleasure, this is yours truly, as drawn by 10-year-old Kaya:
She made me with green eyes because initially she didn't have a brown marker, but as I did not want green hair, I searched around the house until I found her a brown marker. Whew, that was a close one.
P.S. The kids got Presidents Week off! California is crazy!
