Back at it

I finally got my torch set up and sat down today to make some beads for the first time in 6 months. It was good to see my old 2200 degree friend again. My hands have some relearning to do though. When I am at my torch, everything seems to disappear. My vision becomes extremely tunneled. It is a situation where I am not in control. I am at mercy of the glass. It has its own mind, and I am just the mere tool it uses to come to life. I have a very gracious and talented friend who is building me a website, which I am very excited about and will be letting you all know when that is up. I never thought I would be a flameworker... never knew it even existed, but here I am addicted to this art!
