It turns out that not devoting time in the past to my various creative activities has had an effect on more than just a decrease in made works. It turns out that some movements and muscles involved with lampworking and moving the larger sheets of glass have gotten lazy, as have some of the more creative thoughts that used to come in abundance. How to fix this? I’m taking a holistic approach, and working on both physical and mental approaches – which means dredging up the Tai Chi DVDs, and actually using them…and perhaps some of the yogalates on the ball exercises.
