Ugly Glass?

October 2012

Pretty glass!ByTHEEXAMINERSTAFF

When it came to choosing a site for their business storefront, Jenny and Skip Alexander only wanted the Indepen-dence Square.

“I didn’t see any other option,” Jenny said. “That’s all I’ve really want-ed. I’ve always enjoyed coming up and taking a walk and visiting the different shops ever since we moved here.”

Skip, who also owns and operates a construction business, has made his lampworking glass and fused glass jew-elry since 2005. Several years ago, the couple put a name on the goods for branding purposes: Ugly Glass.

“Some of it’s ugly, and some of it’s pretty – it’s just a name that catches peoples’ attention,” Skip said.

“It’s pretty glass, but yet he calls it the opposite of what it is,” Jenny added.

Married now for 18 years with two teenage children, Jenny and Skip had wanted to open a storefront business for at least five years, but available spaces never seemed affordable or “it wasn’t

the right time for us,” Jenny said.When the space at 109 E. Lexington

Ave. became available early this sum-mer due to the closing of Daft Crafts, it was finally the right fit for the Alexanders. Previously, Jenny and Skip had sold Jen-ny’s line of mixed-media jewelry since 2002 online and at arts and craft shows.

On July 5, Ugly Glass & Company – the “and company” part represents the other artists – opened its doors with all made-in-the-U.S.A. handcrafted jewelry, soaps and lotions, artwork and other gift items. About 80 percent of the items are made by Kansas City-area artists, including Coasters to Coasters, which feature iconic images of Inde-pendence and greater Kansas City on drink coasters.

Another special item sold at Ugly Glass is an Independence T-shirt bear-ing the Harry Truman quote, “If you

can’t convince them, confused them.” Jenny also works one day a week

at Scandinavia Place, a fixture on the Square at 209 N. Main St. since 1987. Jenny thanked the store’s owner, Nina Anders, and store manager Tim Smith for their support and knowledge of what it takes to run a small business.

Ugly Glass & Company strives to sup-port local small businesses with its prod-ucts, Jenny said. The store is open from

10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sat-urdays, with Skip often demonstrating his glasswork techniques on Wednesdays.

“Keep the money here. Support your neighbor and support your local artists,” Jenny said. “Plus, it’s showing people that Americans still do make a qual-ity product. I think everyone in here is decently priced for the work that they do, so I think quality and value of price are very important.”

STOREFRONTIt is finally starting to feel like Fall!!

Mornings are chilly and the evenings now require a sweatshirt. After the long, hot summer of drought and 100 degree days, it is a pleasant change. Autumn is one of my favorite seasons. I enjoy the vibrant colors and decorat-ing with the gifts of nature – leaves, pumpkins, gourds, and bittersweet. The symbolism of the harvest is a gentle reminder to be grateful for the simple things in life and for the abun-dance of riches we, as Americans, so often take for granted.

Autumn days provide a perfect backdrop for an antiquing adven-ture. Savvy shop-pers know the fun of foraging for just the “perfect piece.” The “thrill of junking” is that you never know what treasure is waiting to be discovered. Usually my plan is just to browse. I rarely go intending to buy anything in particular, but I am always open to the whimsical, unique item that whispers “take me home, make me a part of your little corner of the world!”

Perhaps it is a pitcher for your grow-ing collection, a well worn book with a delightful cover, or a funky set of juice glasses you remember your favorite Aunt Jane had; whatever strikes your fancy makes the antique adventure a success. Autumn allows a certain daring not available in other seasons. Cooler weather means more time spent in our humble abodes, so why

not make them cozy? Autumn colors give even the most timid decorator the courage to be bold. Orange, yellow, amber, along with deep greens and brown have a timeless beauty that you can’t really mess up!

Through the years, I have learned to trust my instincts. I try to honor creative impulses and experi-ment with different styles. Decorating books, magazine articles, and store displays are my springboard, never my finished product. I enjoy mixing my latest treasure with old favorites in a constantly chang-ing design. My rule is “never be limited by expectations!” Home should be your haven where you and your fam-

ily relax and recharge. Make your surroundings special with interesting arrangements and seasonal colors.

So this year, celebrate Autumn with an Antiguing Adventure! The Indepen-dence Square is a treasure trove of quaint shops and boutiques. Of course, I would encourage you to make The Keeping Room Antiques a must see destination as part of your adventure! I have packed the shelve with lots of fabulous finds from my summer buying trips. Enjoy a relaxed shopping experi-ence as you keep your spirit open to new possibilities. Allow yourself to wan-der into a shop you have never visited. Go outside and gather some leaves. You still have a couple of weeks to visit the Farmer’s Market. Join me as we embrace the beauty of the season.

The Keeping Room

Tom and Harry, a newly released documentary film about the relation-ship between Tom Pendergast and Harry Truman will be showing at the Pharaoh Theater starting this week-end. The film was produced and directed by Terence O’Malley who will be attending the 6pm showing on Friday the 19th.

This film is the third in a trilogy of documentary films by Terence O’Malley. His first film was about his Great Aunt, Nelly Don, who revolution-ized the woman’s apparel industry. At one point in her life Nelly was kid-napped for ransom. Through a surpris-

ing turn of events her kidnappers were discovered with the aid of the mafia. This lead Terence to his second docu-mentary, Black Hand Strawman, a film about the Kansas City Mafia. That film in turn lead to his latest film Tom and Harry.

The 6pm screening will open with Terence speaking about the experi-ence of making his trilogy of films and in particular the film to be shown. A brief Question and Answer period will follow the screening. Copies of his prior films will be available for pur-chase in the lobby at the end of the program.

Andrew Batcheller, a favorite artist and friend of Boxcar Gallery owner, Stacie Short, will be featured during this Friday’s Art Walk. His current works are typically larger format (in the area of 50” x 74”) oil on canvas. His personal style of the very original images evoke the styles of Geor-gia O’Keefe, Salvador Dali, and Thomas Hart Benton in one. Exquisite brush tech-nique along with equally exquisite literary descriptions by the artist draw the viewer into the paintings. Each piece has a spe-cific subject and emotion presented for each viewer’s unique experience.

Andrew’s family still lives in Indepen-dence and the metro where he grew up. He is a daytime house painter and at all other times, a creative painter. He currently resides in Joplin, a place and an experience that profoundly affected him. “You know, I was upstairs in the studio and I heard the sirens go off. I turned up the radio and kept painting,” admits Andrew. On May 22nd, 2011, the EF5 multi-vortex tornado came and went. He and all his paintings, most of his home, his partner and his dog were survivors, but the view from his upstairs studio was very different and his life forever changed. Just three

houses away there was nothing. Every-thing was gone.

Andrew has the ability to tell a story with his painting so vividly and with such beauty, skill, and substance that the works are unforgettable. His paintings are filled with symbolism, some obvious, some not so much. In the presence of his work day after day, you can find them different and find yourself in them differently each time.

When the Extreme Home Makeover came to Joplin, they built the six new homes. . . .on his street. He donated a painting to one of the new homeowners who was a first responder. The name of the painting is, “First to Come Knocking.” It is about exactly what the title reads, but is created in his own rich style that not only tells you the subject but makes you feel it, as if you are there.

Andrew’s paintings and prints as well as work by emerging artists from Little Blue Ele-mentary will be available and on display at the Boxcar Gallery located at 10908 E Winner Road in the Englewood Station Arts District on Friday, October 19, 5 PM – 9 PM and Saturday, October 20, for the Mystic Pumpkin Festival, 2 PM til the ghosts go home, and by appointment 816- 686-7858.
