This week I had the opportunity to go to one of my favorite artistic places, a studio where I always learn something new and where everyone is welcomed to get creative - the West Michigan Glass Society. I have taken two classes on field trips in the past two years, and always try to stop when I make it to the occasional Art Hop. This time, however, was different than my field trips and drop-ins: I was given the opportunity to both create four works of art, and to mingle with other art teachers in the county. It was just what I needed: a day away from school, a chance to meet others in my position and swap ideas, an opportunity to learn new concepts and skills (particularly when I got the opportunity to create my own blown-glass ornament), and a full day of using my brain and spirit in a way that I LOVE - creating artwork!

Let's talk about TALENTED and AMAZING, my friend! This stuff is fantastic! You inspire me in so many ways - you have no CHOICE but to be my friend for life! love!
Awww, thanks, you! I think I can work that "friends for life" arrangement.
I had a lot of fun doing these - I am still high from being able to do the glass bauble. I'm scared to put it up on the tree, especially since it's Maizie's first Christmas...
i love that you replied to my comment on your own blog... ;)
