We had a very nice time at Glass Craft in Las Vegas this month. Sometimes it takes going to a glass show to realize that you are now a post script in the sea of up and coming talented glass artists. I look at the work of the newest glass artists and realize that their work mimics my starting beads because that is where learning always starts. To them I say don't worry or compare yourself and just keep torching because every minute you are on the torch your inner artist will learn. Do I miss working in glass. Of course. I started in 2003 when I had a full time job. I worked on the torch for two hours in the evenings then listed the flowers on Ebay on Friday. I don't remember ever selling beads though I made a lot in that first learning stage. It has been a wonderful art to learn.
What is next? I was gifted five violins in various conditions so I may make them my last hooraw.
