Hoorah.....I finally decided to start posting "stuff" on my blog. Spare time has not been my friend. There are always too many things to do here at the glass studio with just Lance, my darling husband, and myself running it. But I did make it this far.....so I will continue on with my writing.
I awoke, again, at 5:30am with tons of thoughts and ideas running through my head. This is a common occurance with me since there is always a ton of things to do and think of while operating, teaching and creating our own work here at OATKA Glass Studio and School of Glass.
The glass studio is located on the 2nd floor of a 19th century warehouse. Our loft space, where we live, is attached to our studio. We are the only ones that live in this large warehouse. Wandering the halls at night kind of freaks out some of our friends when they are here visiting. It has never bothered me. It is very surreal experience that is hard to discribe until you have been here with us....wandering the halls and passageways....at night. We have beautiful huge windows throughout the space that mostly overlook a historic graveyard that houses amazingly large beautiful trees. I love trees. So when you look out of our windows, it is like being in a tree house.... all you see are the trees. I love it...and of course all the light that floods into the space.
Early morning is my favorite time of the day. It is quiet here in the studio, the birds are always chattering in the trees of the graveyard, and I am by myself with my thoughts. The crows are the only ones that are making noise at the moment. It is my favorite time to start creating new projects or revise and continue on ones that I have started.
The sunrise today was quite beautiful with the pink, magenta, blue, and gray tones illuminating the clouds in the sky. The midsections of the trees in the graveyard were beautifully backlit in spots....I have got to capture that in glass. The grays were the wisps of rain clouds intruding in on the brilliantly highlighted sunrise clouds. The gray has overtaken the sky now....I think we are to get a little rain today. There is definitely the hint of fall in the air. I know...I know...no one wants to here that the summer season is coming to an end. But I am in love with all the seasons that come upon us....some not so gently. It is the movement through the everchanging seasons that makes life interesting...I think anyway.
Well, I think I have blah, blahed enough for today. We have a show in a couple of weeks time that we have to get pieces made for and ongoing client jobs to complete and do samples for. Life is never boring around here....that I can say with certainty....and I wouldn't have it any other way.
