Buzz, Buzz


A couple of years ago I donated a cake to be made in the theme of the winning bidder's choice. It was a friend of mine and she wanted the cake for her daughter's third birthday. The theme was bees. That's all she told me and let me do what I wanted. Here is the cake.

A New Hobby - Glass Fusing



A few months ago I took a glass fusing class for the first time. What a fun and creative outlet. You don't know exactly what you will get. Since I really had no idea of what to do, I put a lot of different things together just to see what would happen. The whole class put their projects in the kiln and the next morning we all got to open and see everything together. It was like opening a treasure chest.

Last month I took the intermediate course. There were even more surprises when we opened the kiln the next morning.

Now we are getting our basement fixed up a bit so that I can have a little workshop down there. I have a small kiln and some supplies. Just a few more tools and I will be set to start experimenting on my own.
The picture quality isn't the best. I'll be working on my photography skills as well in all this blog creating process.

Welcome to my blog!

Ok, I set up a blog. And it has the oh, so original title of Caryn's blog!

My idea is to talk about stuff I've been doing and pictures of what I've been making. Maybe it'll be inspiring to get me off my butt and start creating more.

I love doing all kinds of things. I see a new craft and I get all the equipment and supplies. I must have enough art/craft/sewing supplies to open my own store.

I do enjoy it all and go back to things that I have started before.

Craft therapy is what I need. And a place to share it!
