The TWSSF kicks off this evening - finishing off the winter ski season with an exuberant week-long party. Perhaps there's something to the Ullr business, because our warm spring weather has regressed for the moment:
Check out the live village webcam for a view of the festivities at the base of Whistler.
Impulse of Delight will have a booth beside the Village Commons on the 21st and 22nd of April - come say hello if you're in town!
I've been presented with a very exciting opportunity to collaborate with a talented local glass artist, Duane Perrett of Snow City Glassworks. He handed me some of his fabulous dichroic glass and I let my imagination run wild to create some wonderfully wearable works of art.
1) This flower pendant is crocheted in fine silver around a shimmering dichroic centre, and hangs from a sterling silver chain with handforged sterling clasp.
2) This glass pendant is set in a sparkling crocheted silver bezel. Iridescent black shell pearls linked in sterling silver provide the perfect accent.
3) This piece is a bit of a fantasia in hammered sterling silver, swirling sensuously down to the shimmering depths of the focal pendant.
4) And finally, a crocheted silver setting showcases this dichroic piece with elegant simplicity. 
These pieces will be on display in the showcase at the Fairmont Chateau Mallard Lounge (Whistler) and may be purchased through the Fairmont Chateau Art Gallery.
