reminds me of the fun I had as a glassblowing student back in 1998.

Glass is such an adictive art form

wow! that musta been amazing. still have those pieces? glass is compelling. especially in Art, Decor and eventually Kitsch which combines both. I wish I had the little box of tiny glass animals my mom had. they had a big impact on me as an artist (hanging out amd curating my couch fort, read Couchmosis for details -- tho I dont mention those).

my three best pieces were a human form simplified air twists

a Amythyst wrap white vase and a dog bowl clear silica glass with spikes like a dog collar.

It was fun but I couldn't see a future with it even though my friends got to see pilchuick glass school in canada... its a very hard earner and expensive but fun
