Each year as I approach the new year I choose a word for the new year.
This past year's word was "Create".
In thinking about the word create this year I wanted to learn one new craft in which I had to create. I actually ended up learning two new crafts, both involving glass. I will share the other glass craft another day.
My friend, Teresa, has a glass studio in her basement and invited me to come and create.
What great fun to create these small pendants with glass and see what came out of the kiln. The firing smooths the edges and makes something rough into something beautiful.
As I sit here I am thinking the similarities in life.
As we walk through the fire we become more beautiful.

Beautiful creations Marilyn! (using a 'loaner' computer, so not totally out of touch... but it's not 'my' computer!

Create is a wonderful word for the year, and look where it led you! Beautiful creations, and a beautiful use of your hands!
I thinking of stealing Create for this year, let's see where it leads!
Thank you!
These are truly beautiful, and your thoughts about them make them even more so! (And I hope you'll share what your new word for 2010 is!)
Your pendants are beautiful --- and the analogy of life becoming more beautiful after we walk through the fire is so true. Although we don't always like the heat, it seems to have such refining qualities.
