Hiya! I’m Gloria.

A Muse. A Maker. A Lover of Design.
My motivation to create goes beyond artwork. I wanna make the best life for myself. I also pass on tips to help you make yours pretty sweet. I kind of do it in storyteller fashion. But that’s what makes it fun.
Do you get stumped by life’s curve balls? Embarrassed by certain songs on your playlist? Feel too weird for the weirdos? Hey now, we can definitely hang. This is a safe place. We’re cool as ish in here.
Let’s be Glorious, together.
You’ll find most creative outlets here.Otherwise I’m making stuff for the shops, doing freelance stuff or in the studio at Gotham Collective. Sometimes I work for the man to make ends play nice-nice.
…I had some no-good, horrible, very bad things happen this year so it may take me longer to respond to you. Please know I love that you took time to read. You can go ahead and “like” posts. It’s ok. That lil bitty button won’t hurt ya. Tag along for updates on the shenanigans…

[…] Glorious Mettle nominated EG for the Readership Award. I first noticed GM on other people’s blogs because she was so generous with her comments. She definitely deserves the Readership Award. Her blog is just as generous as her comments. Check out her incredible jewelry, artwork, and photography. Obrigado, Glorious Mettle. […]
Kozo, you made up for lost time with this smashing nod to my corner of blogland. Thank you again.

Have fun with it!
Keep creating, love. I used to use the Oxygen theme as well. It worked and then I wanted to try something different. That’s art. that’s life too. I guess 🙂
I doing my best to keep it up Some days it’s easier than others. I’ve tried out other themes but I keep coming back to Oxygen. But I am feeling a change. I say it’s a yes with life and art, sometimes you need to freshen things up.
Change. Change is good.
🙂 yes it is
