All three days of my Squam experience were spent in Nina Bagley's Step Into the Story workshop.While I have taken a class from NIna, I've never made jewelry before. And frankly, I don't wear jewelry that often. But, I do love Nina's work. And she is an engaging, generous and animated teacher.
I learned a lot.
And I'm really happy with the piece I left the workshop wearing. I've had many compliments on it since.
But this piece would not have been possible without my comrades, as you can see.I shared my Squam experience with e.b., Isabel, and Karen . . . along with new friends.
It was magical.
And yes. I am going to get back to my pile of photos from Squam. It's just that this was easy. Going through the photos is a little like taking an eye test: "Is this one clearer . . . or is this one?"
oh yes, the old eye test! I can completely relate! now where did I put my glasses!!!
