I love vessels... glass, pottery, fiber, etc. Being able to create them in fiber makes me very very happy!Shirley Cook - Jumping Jack Glasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026220287892386166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22818638.post-17511446522491268522010-03-11T00:08:34.124-08:002010-03-11T00:08:34.124-08:00I have never seen anything like these before.

These take quite awhile to make - and that's before any beading gets done. :-)<br /><br />I've had to deal with deadlines during my entire career in high tech, so allowing myself time, i.e., not imposing deadlines on myself, is something that I really need to do.

I was hooked by the title of this post, "Allowing....." because this is something that I wrestle with constantly -- allowing myself the time I REALLY need to bead the way I'd like to. I so LUV your vessels!

When I worked in high tech full time, melting glass was my therapy. When I started melting glass full time (both making and teaching), creating fiber art became my therapy.

I love bead embroidery so much but your work is so much more tedious and artful than the regular embroidery like I do. I love your style and techniques.
