not just blowing smoke

these pictures don't quite do it justice.



a couple of weeks ago, leah and i received vouchers to blow our own glass baubles at a local glassworks and design studio.  we went on monday, and yesterday i was able to go pick them up.  they turned out really cool!  okay, so mine may not be perfectly round, and the colors might be more orange-y than i wanted, but it's so cool!  i made my own glass ball!  it was a lot of fun too, the guy was really good at explaining everything and pretty much did all of the hard work.  all we had to do was "blow a lot of hot air", hardy har har! 



there are photos of the actual event, but not on my camera.  i had thought "i should take my camera" and then, "no, i don't need it."  so i am awaiting copies from leah.  when i get them, i will probably post a couple!
