Ofilia asked me to post a bead I made using Lucio's technique. I went to Murano with the May 2011 class and enjoyed it so much! I brought home body parts, exploded every figurine I tried to make. What I also brought home was the knowledge, photos, and warm wonderful experiences from the class and the students that I shared the experience with. All I need is practice! The rooms were great and we ate pretty inexpensively. I spent my money on tools!! Lovely tools, and Italian shoes. I brought home lots of shoes. I guess by next year my shoes will be worn out and I will need to take more classes...I had a great time. This is an opportunity you will not want to miss.
