One of my favorite books that my mother would read to me when I was growing up was The Big Orange Splot by D. Manus Pinkwater, a story about a man who is moved to embrace non-conformity after a seagull drops orange paint onto the roof of his house. When his neighbors insist that he repaint his roof, the man decides to instead paint his whole house in all of the colors of the rainbow.

I am working on a new line of fused glass pins that are inspired by the moral in The Big Orange Splot. These non-conformist glass accessories are funky and splot-like with freeform shapes and bold colors. You can check them out in the fused glass pin section of my Etsy store.
