Busy Busy for the Pool Tradeshow

I've been busy for weeks preparing for the Pool Tradeshow in Las Vegas. Cutting and firing glass three times a day trying to meet my goal. I finally wrapped it all up this afternoon. When I looked around at my piles of pendants and realized I need to capture what I saw around me...1200 hundred pendants!
