OK, this probably doesn't constitute a trend, but I had to share with everyone what I made last month at Duncan's Hobby Shop. They are Picasso-inspired, fused glass bottle stoppers. Aren't they fun? My husband and I took the 2-hour class with about seven others. We layered glass and used a flame to bend the thin glass canes into fun facial expressions, and placed wire between the glass layers to make hair. Then into the kiln they went and one week later I went over and picked them up. I used my jewelry pliers to spiral the wire and add beads. Once I got my little "Picasso's" accessorized, I headed to Pier I and picked up a set of corked bottles. Being creative is always "on trend."
