I hope you all have been having a splendid New Year so far! 

I am a list maker.  I need lists to keep my ideas focused and even just to remember what I want to do since I tend to get a lot of ideas all at once sometimes.  So several weeks ago I downloaded an app called Todoist onto my phone and onto my computer.  It is basically a lists app and can be organized in a variety of ways and you can schedule each task to have a specific due date (or not).  I love this app!  It has really kept me going when I sometimes feel like I have so many ideas and not sure what to do next.  The lists remind me of what I intended and what I thought was more important as I dated/scheduled each item.  Oh- and the phone and computer versions are linked so when you update one, the other is automatically updated, too!

This all brings me to the idea I had many months ago and added to my list as soon as I got the app.  It has taken me several weeks to actually finish my prototype due to other projects, etc getting in the way, but I finally got it finished last night and I am so happy with it!

This is my prototype for a 5" round glass box.  It is entirely made of reverse enameled glass pieces except for the feet and the knob handle which were all hand made from polymer clay. 

There are a couple of things I might tweak in the final version, but overall I couldn't be happier and have lots of ideas for many more of these as well as other shapes.
