Burns, patience, & finishing

This past week I took some vacation days from work so I could focus all of my attention in the hotshop with a few beach days, go carting dates, and even some hockey games.  Did I get everything accomplished? I don’t know if I have ever felt that feeling after turning off the furnace.  When I turn Emma off – I feel loss.  Sadness even.  I think of the things I wanted to try and didn’t, or more realistically the things I wanted to try again due to failure.
This time I burned myself – not badly.  My minds been other places I guess.  I got three fingers, and my chest.  Yep – the glass hit me in the chest from the crack off bucket and stuck to me.  I think that one hurt worse than the molten glass I dropped on my leg… war wounds.
I made Tidal balls – lots of them.  Blues, earthy colored balls.  Its garden season coming up and we are going to be at the Kitty Coleman Art & Bloom festival next weekend so I wanted to make for the season! I also did a few other pieces up – stay tuned for some pictures!
