Last night, I entered a room I never thought I would lay eyes on again...the high school chemistry classroom! However, this time, I was not afraid of being surrounded by the night before's chemistry homework that I refused to do. (Looking back, I'm proud of myself for never actually doing my homework and copying the answers off the board the next day. Sure I didn't learn chemistry (not a missed opportunity), but how else would I have the accomplishment of seeing every episode of Saved By the Bell if I had actually spent that time doing homework?) I freely entered the high school chemistry classroom to attend a fused glass class provided by my local community education program!
I never took any art classes in grade school (I was and still am a band geek,) but I'm certainly making up for it now! I signed up for the fused glass class only because it sounded like fun, and glass is not a medium I've had an opportunity to dabble in yet. I went into the class having not a clue what "fused glass" entailed, but after a quick 5 minute explanation, I was off to create two fused glass ornaments.
I think the next glass class I take (in three weeks!), I'll do a little research, so I at least have a clue of what I want to design. After much contemplation and a couple hours, I finished my two little ornaments. The instructor now has them and is taking them to add another piece of glass to the bottom and a wire hook for hanging, then fusing them in a kiln.
Of course, I'm excited about picking them up in two weeks and can't wait to share the finished pieces! Here's a sneak peak at one of my ornaments:
Okay, something actually sewing related: I just saw this in an email, and it couldn't go un-noted! This monkey pattern is too cute!
