The Next Chapter


Looking back over my blog over the past year has really allowed me to see how much I have grown with my glass work. I am amazed at how far I have come with this artistic journey in my life. From the classes I have taken or just trial and error (and there have been many errors), I have really learned a lot.

For me it is never easy to settle on one thing for very long. I am very hyper and my mind wanders and jumps from thing to thing. Maybe it is because I am getting older or maybe it is just because I found something that suits me, but I really like working with glass and I see myself doing this for a very long time to come. I am glad I have stuck with it. I really am starting more and more to feel like an artist each and every day.

One thing that really fascinates me about this past year is the changes I have seen in my thought patterns. I have started thinking differently. I literally walk around and see patterns that I want to reproduce in glass. Often there are times where an idea haunts me till I jot it down on paper or reproduce it in glass. All of this is very exciting and some time irritating because I am not able to cut it off.

Tomorrow night I start a new class at Blue Heron and I will be making some type of glass sculpture. Already I have all kinds of ideas in my head about what I want to make. I am very excited to see where this new chapter will take me.
