I am home!!!

I returned from Hamburg on Saturday with full of wonderful memories.
First of all, I met my dream bead artist, Andrea Guarino Slemmons, seen her beads upclose and torched with her. She is a great person. I had an amazing time with her, I wish the class was longer than just 2 days. :(

Here is a picture of us, don't we look just gorgeous!!!!


And these are a couple of beads I made in during the class !!!

Me, Muge and Pinar waiting for our ice cream after our looooooong cycling tour around Hamburg. It was so much fun!!!

The weather was great, sunny and warm. We stayed with Muge and Jan in their beautiful house. They live just by the canals and have an amazing garden on their backyard. I got up very early every morning (which is very unusual for me), enjoyed the stillness of the morning, listened to the songs of happy birds in their garden, waited sun to rise. It was fantastic!

Muge and Jan are the best hosts!!! "Thank you so much for everything guys. I'll miss my morning coffe's in your terrace!"

I went to Hameln to take another class with Teresa the day before our return. Teresa is a very nice person and I am so glad I went to see her. She showed me anything I'd like and helped so much while I was making my first ever sculpured glass beads. I made many beads but I had to left them in her kiln when I left her house. She said they all survived and she sent them to me by mail. I just can't wait to see them.

Well that's all for now, unfortunately I don't have any nice pictures of Hamburg because I was so busy taking bead pictures, lol!

Cheers.
