the first day of my Loren Stump class and its definitely all it's cracked up to be - started at 10:00am this morning and it's now 1:40am and we are just now getting home...I"m sure tomorrow we will be even more fried, but we are learning tons and we have a guest - Uncle Al Janelle is here from Austin hanging out today and tomorrow..he and Loren and Angi (the host) are good beading friends and its been a real hoot having everyone there. plus our class is small - only 6 of us, and 4 of us know each other, so it's practically a bunch of friends all getting together and just hanging out, making murini and having fun.
Today we made eyeballs, noses (two different styles) and a cat murini (silhoutte). We've all decided that murini is NOT for us - ours have been snapping, cracking, breaking and otherwise blowing up. We aren't enjoying the process, but we are learning a lot and enjoying the class (if that makes sense) so it's worthwhile. Tomorrow, we make lips for our faces, letter murini and then put the face together, along with our 'sig' canes. should be fun...(?) Later on we'll learn flowers and make a paperweight that simply glows with clear glass. Learned some new and interesting things about clear glass that I will HAVE to put into action when I get back home.
thanks for the emails while I'm gone, I'm answering them when I get back from class, so please be patient with me while I'm gone. And if you're in Austin this weekend, visit the Bead Show at Murchison (link is at far left with directions) and don't hesitate to buy some beads at my booth if you can stand to. I wish I were there, but this was a class I could not pass up!!
