\"Beginnings\"<\/a>

Beginnings<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/b>It started out like the infrequent snow storms we have most winters- just a dusting. We were keeping up pretty well. But the predictions were for record temps and snowfall . . . and this time they were right.<\/p>\n

\"Snow<\/a>

\u00a0<\/b>The snow is here to stay, one full week later. The keeper has been the temperatures in the 20\u2019s and 30\u2019s as a daily high. Those are NOT our normal temperatures.<\/p>\n

\"Icicles\"<\/a>

Even as the snow slowly melts, it leaves imprints of wonder and inspiration behind. This is a glass project waiting to happen!<\/p>\n

\"Path<\/a>

Path-Where<\/p><\/div>\n

The first path forged in the snow was to the shop. Who wouldn\u2019t want to work and be creative in this solitude?!<\/p>\n

\"Inspiration\"<\/a>

Inspiration<\/p><\/div>\n

I know this white stuff isn\u2019t always such a picturesque wonder for others, but in this desert, an unusual experience like this just leaves me in awe and waking up at night with more ideas for projects.<\/p>\n

How has the winter weather affected your creative muse? Are you photographing your inspirations or just holding them in your memory banks?<\/p>\n
