Post-Europe Beads
| I'm in an experimental mood and things have been getting even stranger than usual. I've been trying out some new shapes - or maybe 'forms' would be a better word - attempting to push the boundaries of my usual designs. After all, there are no rules... |
 |
 |
I've been exploring gravity, trying to create interesting forms and patterns with minimal use of tools. I like what happens when the glass just does its own thing. It's not like anyone's expecting my beads to be symmetrical or anything.  |
| I am still a big fan of Michelangelo... seriously, this is wonderful glass. I've been using it in almost every bead I make. It goes so well with everything... even in unexpected color combos.. |

But mainly, I am just having fun. I have a newfound energy, I think... the 'Back Home Blues' are behind me and I just want to melt glass all the time. I am even brainstorming for my book, taking things one small step at a time. Could I actually do this? Hmmm. |
update from murano, if you do not get a move on with your book you will be able to add the whole section on murano the home of glass arts and the most evocative place to be!!!
got my feet wet this morning as the tide is in but will send you some pics later...
studio space looks just stunning!!

Hi Sarah,
Wow, these new beads are are Awesome. You have such a wonderful way of working the glass. I hope that sometime you may come to the States to teach...
I enjoyed the all those photos you shared from your trip. It was like I was vicariously seeing Europe too!! Thank you for taking the time to blog and send your pics
When your book is done and published I will definitly purchase a copy. I was so pleased to hear of your plans. I sure with your graphic design, your way with glass and now your teaching skill your book will be just Wonderful! Keep that new torch a-flaming.
Soft Winds,
Isabella
