I can't believe how fast time goes by. I was going to blog on week one of class but then I decided to put it off till I could put up a picture of the really cool stuff I made....Well several weeks have gone by and I'm still waiting for the really cool stuff! Glass blowing is so much harder then I thought! I was planning on making tons of great things and giving them to everyone at Christmas. Ya that's not going to happen. I am slowly improving though. I had took a few classes before and everything came out great! That was a trick! The glass blower helper actually does about 90% off the work to make your piece look great and I had no idea until I tried it on my own! In real class it's probably about the opposite, I'm doing 90% of the work and things don't look quite so good. I am going to put up a few pictures but I don't want to give everything away. If I'm lucky a few of my pieces will be able to be gifts. (Keep in mind these look better in the pictures then person. You can't really tell the nothing sits flat, or the colors are not even, stuff like that.) I have made a snowman, jelly fish, Christmas ornaments, bowls, cups,and vases, ect. We do a lot of practicing in clear, which isn't very pretty and shows every flaw! I've broke a few thing too. This week is already my last week. I defiantly have enjoy it and want to do more. There is an advanced class I want to take but they are expensive and I need to save up again...
