I definitely gotta get over there this year and watch you work. :)

[grisgris]

Ohh I love that lamp. My credit cards may be in danger:cool:

[Cleophus]

That is some impressive work!

[steffie]

OMG - evrything is sooooooooooooo beautiful. I'm always attracted to shiney objects but yours are extra special. I'm diggin those ornaments!!!!

[mdfest]

You forgot to mention your Threadhead friends!

[mariena]

Beautiful work. I really like the shoulder vase in blue.

[glinda]

Very nice article, Mark er uh Jim John or is it Tom. Will definitely be over to see ya daze between & at the fest Contemp area!

[bluedog]

Bravo Mark! I love your work! I've always loved watching an artist glass blowing .. only seen it on the boob toob though. I like to paint ceramics (glazing) and dipped into bead making a few years back but it was HARD! I screwed up many a bead and finally gave up. Burned myself too many times to ... :o

Kudos!

Can I ask? ... what is "installation-oriented pieces" ?

[funkkjunkie]

Very nice, rt. And the studio is gorgeous.

[pokerchick66]

Very impressive, Mark. I like. My favorite was the ornaments, too. Do you do Easter eggs? :)

[Michelino]

Nice article Mark...say...when I try to go your online gallery, I get a password prompt...is that link for paying customers only?

[rosetree]

Thanks for looking everyone!!:D ...................
Mich---Go to www.rosetreegallery.com The user ID is glass and the password is customer---this will get you in!.............
PC---I occasionally do egg-type paperweights--colorful solid,not blown....
Blue dog---installation-type pieces are larger multi piece works that are grouped and mounted on the wall or from the ceiling, as opposed to single vases or bowls....
.MDfest..the Threadhead shout-out must have been edited out of the final piece ;) ;)

[mightyradgumbo]

Great article, Mark. I am definitely interested in the winestoppers you had for festgiving (for gifts of course as wine does not need to be stopped in the Gumbo household).
I am planning on going to the shop during the daze between since I didn't get out there last time. TH fieldtrip to Algiers anyone?:D

[luvdancin]

Wow. :eek: Your stuff is so cool. I will definitely have to check out your gallery. Uh oh, I feel the credit cards starting to smoke!!

[rosetree]

Mighty: I am having a meet-up/ patry at the studio on Wed 'tween daze. I'm pretty sure that IBJ and Corona and a bunch of other peeps are planning to come over. The whole Threadhead Nation is invited!!!!:D :D :D I'll have some cards and brochures with me at the Patry with directions. If you're not going to be at the Patry, you can get directions off of my website.

[Amy Winette]

We'll be there! :)

Awesome article, haven't had a chance to read it yet but I loved the pix (a pix is worth a thousand words anyway) ;)

[rosetree]

We'll be there! :)
;)
I knew that!!! Sorry :o

[Amy Winette]

No no, I didn't mean you should have said something about me, I was just sayin I planned to be there :)

[rosetree]

I better get some wine with a screw-cap!!!;) :D

[MzJoey]

Do you dream in color??

[rosetree]

Yes, I dream in color, just different from everyone else....I'm color blind!!!

[MzJoey]

I do porcelain dolls and some ceramics, pottery...once I had a teacher in porcelain explain that she only dreamt in black & white...but her dolls were beautifully hued and colored. Does the body belong to the mind? Or the mind is only part of the body??

[ozzie]

Congrats Mark!

[dumbtourist]

Mark, great article and it shows your work well. Certainly captured the beauty we've seen in your studio. Just not nearly enough pictures showing your vast array of work! Everyone who has been to our house and seen the Cat 5 vase wants to know where/how to get one....

[Amyloves...]

Damn you're so talented! Really beautiful stuff. HEY....remind me of when you're there on Saturdays please....I was going to call you about maybe heading there this weekend when you're around.

[rosetree]

Thanks DT...if someone is really interested, have them email me!

[MzJoey]

we are traveling with a toddler, so there won't be any free hands...

[rosetree]

Damn you're so talented! Really beautiful stuff. HEY....remind me of when you're there on Saturdays please....I was going to call you about maybe heading there this weekend when you're around.
Amy...This Saturday, I won't be in until 4:00 and leave at 5:30/6:00. I've gotta take my son to NOCCA for an orientation in the morning. Call me tomorrow at the studio if you want to. Or you can leave a message on the machine Sat morn if you are going to come over....

[rosetree]

we are traveling with a toddler, so there won't be any free hands...
UPS come to pick up everyday at the studio...I've got "brown" working for me!:D

[dumbtourist]

we are traveling with a toddler, so there won't be any free hands...
MsJoey...Brenda is a master packer...let them mail it to you. You will be amazed how well things are packed and not a scratch....lot easier than trying to haul around and protect in the car/plane...

[Amyloves...]

4:00 might work Rosetree, if it's ok w/ you. I'll give you a call. Thanks!

[rosetree]

Great!!! Are you familiar with Algiers Point??

[Amyloves...]

Somewhat, but it's been a long time. But I know the husband is. If he doesn't come w/ me, he can direct me for sure.

[funkkjunkie]

Mark, you spelled patry wrong! MRG, I'm headed over on Wed too.

[rosetree]

I know, but I didn't want to confuse it with THE Patry!LOL;)

[MzJoey]

MsJoey...Brenda is a master packer...let them mail it to you. You will be amazed how well things are packed and not a scratch....lot easier than trying to haul around and protect in the car/plane...

Cuz I KNOW my mom is going to want something when she lays eyes on this lovely body of work! Is this patry the same day as Pondersa stomp? i musta missed the thread, will look for it!

Sorry DT!!! Sorry KK!!!

[rosetree]

MzJ: if the stomp is on Wed, then yes...but I think the stomp is later in the day. We open at 9:00AM and the mimosas start at 9:01 ;)

[MzJoey]

I'll probably need to make a second trip out to you another day with my Mom in tow.

[festivalgirl]

Must buy art glass, must buy art glass .....................

WOW!! Something will great in our apartment!

;) :D :cool:

Okay, everything will look great

[Corona]

ooh, if we can come earlier than I can bring Sam and Amanda too! Hmmm....gonna be a convoy of T-heads going over the bridge that day :) :)

Congrats on the article hunni!

[mdfest]

[Amyloves...]

OMG I love that movie mdfest!

I have a magnificent footed bowl that is completely stunning and I treasure it because it was given to me by my Threadhead friends. :) Brenda hand delivered it to me, but it could have been sent cross-country, as well as it was packed. I saved the box & styrofoam inserts in case we ever move. I wouldn't hesitate to have Rosetree mail something to me.

[pokerchick66]

OMG I love that movie mdfest!

Here is a funny 30-second short:

That must be Italian.

[NeenAtlanta]

Count me in - I'd love to sip Mimosas in the morning surrouned by all of that amazing artwork. We'll have to put together a Chateau LeMoyne convoy!

[festivalgirl]

That must be Italian.

[rosetree]

That's Fra-gee-lay...it's Italian!

md: I can make you one, but it will cost you an arm AND a leg!!;) :p

[MzJoey]

Count me in - I'd love to sip Mimosas in the morning surrouned by all of that amazing artwork. We'll have to put together a Chateau LeMoyne convoy!

I'm seeing in now (will grab some coffee first), sounds like a good mellow to me!!

[ohio]

Great for you Mark! We plan to be there for your party. Hmmmm, day after Patry and DragonSmoke, don't expect us before noon!

[rosetree]

I knew that ;) We'll be here all day 'til 4 or 5........... Corona said she will be here early with the festal virgins. I wonder what time that will be???? And what condition she'll be in :eek: ;) I better have coffee :D

[funkkjunkie]

I wouldn't expect them before noon. I think the girls fly out at 3.

[ozzie]

10-4 Rubber Duck... can we book a place in the convoy?

hmmmnnnn.... I thought we got there by ferry

[mdfest]

Is a footed bowl like a cousin to the leg lamp?

[rosetree]

10-4 Rubber Duck... can we book a place in the convoy?

hmmmnnnn.... I thought we got there by ferry
UR rite Ozzie...we are just eight blocks from the ferry. You take a car on it or you can walk. It is the easiest way to go (unless you're scared of boats!)

[Amy Winette]

I've got to get in on the Lemoyne convoy :)

Hey Neen, if you're still thinking of doing Animal Rescue volunteering together I'm thinking Thursday this year, too much going on Wednesday (including recovery!) and Monday will probably be another recovery day from 1st weekend (and Mo Fest) :)

[Chicago Fest Fan]

Wow, that is some nice work. Are you going to have many pieces for sale at the fest or is mostly for demonstration purposes?

[stlbarb]

personally, i applaud shameless self-promotion.

if they don't know who you are, how can they know they love you.
or in the case of a product or service, need you.

oh yea, and your stuff rocks.

[rosetree]

Chicago: All of my work shown at the Fest is for sale...I don't demo there, but you can see me work when/if you come to the studio ;)

In my biz, you have to be a self-promoter! There is a lot of competition out there, if you live and work in a vacuum, you'll shrivel up and die on the vine...and thanks...hope to see you in N.O.;)

[stlbarb]

exactly! any 'small business' cannot survive without 'customers'.
information is not soliciation.
besides, pretty pictures.

[mrSteve]

Beautiful stuff Mark!

[funkkjunkie]

I'll have a car, amyw. You and jeff can hitch a ride with neen and mz joey and me.

[Corona]

We're planning to go over earlier in the day Wed. and can participate in a caravan/convoy! ;)
The girls need to be at the airport by 3:00 ish so this may work..... :)

[Corona]

I wouldn't expect them before noon. I think the girls fly out at 3.
lol, good point...by the time I get them up and packed....yup noon-ish for sure...their flight actually leaves at 4:30 so I'm excited that this may really work :)

[Corona]

I knew that ;) We'll be here all day 'til 4 or 5........... Corona said she will be here early with the festal virgins. I wonder what time that will be???? And what condition she'll be in :eek: ;) I better have coffee :D
btw, your use of icons always cracks me up! roflmao!

[NYMAMA]

I think we will be there about the same time as our flight back to NY leavs at 5.

[ohio]

My thoughts as well, Amy. Since there is no fest that day again (sigh), it would be the best day for volunteering for me.

[rosetree]

btw, your use of icons always cracks me up! roflmao!

I'm so glad someone noticed!:p ;)

[Amy Winette]

I'll have a car, amyw. You and jeff can hitch a ride with neen and mz joey and me.

Great, thanks Vic! That sounds like a fun krewe for a car ride :)

[MzJoey]

:cool:

[Chicago Fest Fan]

Chicago: All of my work shown at the Fest is for sale...I don't demo there, but you can see me work when/if you come to the studio ;)
Sorry Mark,
I wont be in town until Thurs. But I will stop by and say hello sometime during the fest. Good luck at the fest.

[Lostcajun]

WOW! got a price list for threadheads?!?!?!?!

[LaTiDa]

Nice press Rosetree and exquisite art work! Can't wait to see it, and you, shine in person.

Mentioned to you before about my nephew who studied glass blowing in Jersey... planned on bringing him down but apparently his dad gave him an ultimatum... find a job or he's not buying him a ticket to JF... I know, I know... very harsh. Anyway, still want to check out your gallery with or without him but won't be landing till 2pm on wednesday May 2nd so won't be able to be there for the meet-up... will you be hanging out thursday?

[rosetree]

Lost----It's not simple....Yes, I do give a Threadhead discount, but I have different pricing on line than we have in the studio. You see, I can't undercut the galleries that carry my work by pricing the work below their prices. I try to send people who cold call to the galleries first. That being said...I do sell to people who have come in to the gallery or have seen me at a show such as Jazz Fest. These are my customers. Being a Threadhead makes you MY customer, which entitles you to a discount. ....so to get back to your question, yes I have a price list....go to the website www.rosetreegallery.com .It is password protected..the user ID is glass ...the password is customer. This gets you in...TH discount =-20%. Any problems, email me through the site! :D
If you are coming during the 'tween daze for my patry, we have special pricing here for THs ;) :cool: :D

Thursday is hard...we have set up at the Fairgrounds on Thursday. I'm usually back at the studio around 2. You can call first to see if I'm in. I am usually here until 5 or 6.

p.s. tell your nephew to tell his dad that he is looking at potential employers in NO!;)

[glinda]

Uh huh. Tax deductible business trip.. Reminds me, I need to set up some kinda "client" meeting while I'm in town, hmmm, maybe at Brigsten's. Yeah....

Thanks Rosetree... Don't want to inconvienience you but I will carry your number Thurs. in case.


BTW--- very shrewed plan, even his dad will appreciate it and it could do the trick. Carl will owe you one.

[mdfest]

Is there a sign that says "you break it, you bought it"? Im a little concerned about my balance the day after the patry.;)

[Lostcajun]

Utterly beautiful work/art, thanks for the info. I WILL see you at the fest one way or another.
