To celebrate the random holiday of National Tell a Fairy Tale day I thought I would create something fun for you (since I'm struggling with tech difficulties for my upcoming shop update). It definitely surprized me what an AI can do, and I would love to know your thoughts on it too. The Flicker Bug Fairytale Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a talented artisan who created the most beautiful glass fused jewellery. Her creations were so exquisite and full of colour that people traveled from far and wide just to catch a glimpse of them. One...

Hey fellow colour fiend! Have you ever heard that not all glass is created equal? The truth is, window glass and fusible glass are very different beasts. Glass meant for fusing in a kiln (like what I do) is specifically designed and tested to be compatible. It's rated by how much it expands and contracts in the kiln when heated. Window glass on the other hand can be different from one pane to the next (even if its from the same batch!) and incompatible glass can break, shatter, or even explode after firing and without warning.😬 While I'm a fan of...

Getting back to routines always has me reach for my kitchen sink collection because it eliminates one more step on busy mornings and trying to match my jewellery to whatever clean clothes I threw on that day.

If you're not familiar with my kitchen sink collection it is aptly named because it has every colour under the sun. They literally have everything "but the kitchen sink." They are the most versatile piece of jewellery you'll ever wear and will match literally anything and everything in your closet.

I have big things planned for 2023 that I'm not quite ready to share with you yet, but to make room for these new plans I need to clear some space! Buy a mystery box and start your new year with some colour! Mystery Boxes are guaranteed to have 2 or more pendants and a little something extra just for fun.  Shop them all here:https://flickerbug.ca/products/mystery-box
