excitement kicks me rolls me and I wonder if this excitement will settle enough for me to finish my taxes that prevent me from creating more glass, will my enthusiasm settle like the cocoa at the bottom of my mug enough so I can actually make some thing some

one thing my mind is too cluttered with ideas of

Pâte de verre

castings

and instillation

will it break when it falls can my yard be an instillation

is the wall going to be made will the

swans come out of the bottles can I

go to this thing that thing

what about my family will they think I am

where will I find the exhaust hood

who will build the table

when will I settle enough to focus on one thing

do my friends send me secret mental images

are fairies helping me

can I quiet down enough to do

something

too much excitement becomes icicles freezing my
creativity juggles my brain

fish food

cereal and steaks

what did she say

why didn't I get his email

and why are some of these artists so hard to find on the

internet is a great place

and did I really dream that last night or was that someone else's dream that accidentally fell in my corner of the room

two favorites from the conference I didn't get pictures from and they were

Paul Stankard and Ginny Ruffner
the Salem Community College did a great job of putting on a wonderful conference for lampworkers / flameworkers. I was fortunate to meet Wesley Fleming who has helped me with my understanding of bug creating. I was also introduced to the Glass Art Society
