Day One of my lampworked bead class is over, and it was exhilarating, exhausting and a big-fat creative kick in the pants.
Because if there's one thing I've learned today, other how not to get burned on a 900-degree torch (this from someone with big fear-of-fire issues who hates to even turn on a propane grill), all while the process zings tiny shards of glass everywhere, it's that learning gives me a real jolt!
So much so that I came home and babbled for nearly an hour to Mr Spandrel about the way things are done and how fun it was to give it a whirl.
Although there's still another whole day to go, who knows if this will take hold as a new hobby. But one thing's for sure, it's reminded me of something important:
Sign up for as many classes for interesting things as I can, and keep those creative fires stoked.

Heather - that's great about the web class! Just starting something new can be an inspiring fresh start... Can't wait to hear how it goes!
