Scroll back in time to '94 and read about my attemps to make beads on a hot head! http://www.fireballbeeds.com/bio.html
Heather's Beads still inspire me I'd love to make hollows that are as neat as hers.... Although I'm now lusting after taking a class from this woman too... Jari Sheese She's teaching in FL in April... but she's teaching Easter weekend.... There are lots of cheap flights down mid week but the flights go through the roof to get home after Easter Monday... So that class isn't in my immediate future!
Some day I may even take a class from Jerry or Heather..... In '95 I got a video made by Kate Fowle .... So I try to blame all my bad habits on her! Four years ago I actually did get to take a class from her in CT....
What I can't get over is what you can get on the internet now... I actually had a computer in '94 but I certainly didn't have an internet connection... and could scroll through pages and pages of beads....
The beads scattered through out this post are my latest listings on etsy and have no relevance to the blog!

Sure they have relevance...they are the beads that came from your obsessions
You do beautiful work, that's all that counts now.
Who would have known how the internet could change our lives in the strangest ways?
Inspiration can be everywhere! :-D
I love your beads and have great respect for the work of glass artists. It is hard to believe that your work could ever be called a blob.
I'm sure I have boxes of blobby beads somewhere.. I keep thinking I should make resin stepping stones out of all the fuggly beads that are hidden in corners of this house!
I have to agree with Cat, what you do now counts for today... yesterday's foibles certainly helped bring you here, and you do great work! I look forward to the day when I can look back on my own long journey and the many different influences over time that has brought me to that point.
I think you were lucky to spend that time working on your art. The internet is a wonderful thing, but it sure can be a big distratction.
Your work is lovely, we learn as we go along and continue to learn every day - get out those beads, don't hide them away, great post!
