Amazing... simply amazing the tricks I was shown today~ Finally there is hope for my pictures of red things...
just a ray of hope...
I still have to figure out how to implement some of the wonder picture tricks I learned today. I am so on it!! Marlo was a great teacher and my classmates were a lot of fun as well. I am still in disbelief that I actually went so far out of my "safe bubble" lol. I live in suburbia and it is comfortable for me. I would be most at ease with directions that end in "turn left at the really big stump" Of course the directions would have to first come with a great reason for me to go there in the first place. So driving all by my shy self into the middle of a majorly huge city like Seattle lol... I want great pictures what can I say? I got lost after I got into Seattle but I realized it fairly quickly and didn't waste much time calling for help. Marlo, my fabulous teacher got me there in one piece and after class I followed another southbound student to I-5.
All in all it was a terrific day and I hope I can do my teacher justice :)

Taking a good picture of items you are selling online is soooo important. I still don't quite have it down. Even though I love trying :) Sometimes my backgrounds turn colors other than what they are. A lovely shade of yellow ivory is my least favorite~ blech... So this Sunday I am taking a class in Seattle and hopefully it will make all the difference in the world. I am excited to be included as the class size is very small. I can't wait to see what I can learn!
On making wine stoppers I wish I was more prolific but they take a lot out of me when I make them. After I complete one my left hand will sometimes shake like I have the tremors!!! Not good for making the small detailed beads that I prefer. I have decided that I need to get an armrest of some sort so that I have good support while I am waving that big blob of glass in the flame.
And then there is always the desire for more glass. I have discovered glass that I had previously ignored because I didn't want to have yet another type of glass *rolls eyes* Well it turns out that I really love this glass a LOT. It isn't listed on my suppliers website... I hope they still have some. I am going to have a busy weekend I can tell :)
