We are all made of stardust

"We are stardust, we are golden, and we have to get ourselves back to the garden." Joni Mitchell sang the Crosby Stills and Nash song about going to Woodstock with pizzazz. I was taken by the phrase "We are stardust" because it is true. We really are made from billion year old carbon. I can lose myself while gazing up into the night sky just allowing myself to be a part of the universe and realizing all that is possible to learn. While exploring the meaning of life, the time of man and the what it means to get back to the garden,  I find myself designing all kinds of stars.
Just today I took a batch of mini stars out of the kiln. I love the variety of colors and the way they change as the heat melts them.

Wedding glass

Adorning the tables at my beautiful Granddaughter's reception were some wedding glass Moravian stars. The simple lines and clear textured glass added the right blend of class and elegance. They were enhanced by the deep blue tablecloth. The flickering candle was the finishing touch. I was able to have Sammy and Caleb in my heart as I was building each star.
I loved the simple and outdoor feel of the decorations.

Here is an up close look at the star.

Even the refreshments were fresh and simple.

I was honored to be a part of their beautiful and romantic evening.
