As I write this, a late winter storm is blanketing the recently uncovered grass with a fresh coat of snow. The tree bows are heavy, leaning low above our heads. We pull up our collars and pull down our hats against the sharp wind.
Fortunately, it’s already bright and colourful Springtime in my studio! My torch and kiln keep me nice and toasty as I make my glass beads. Dyed and painted wooden shapes and beads lie about me in trays and pieces of jewellery, in various stages of completion, hang from hooks and racks.
