I repeat: when are you going to clear the pandas out of your guestroom so I can come visit? A month on Murano sounds like heaven to me, but what I really want is to spend a month on 16th-century Murano. Think that can be arranged? Thanks so much for the shout-out on your blog!

Out in the Pacific NW, there are more glassblowers than you can throw rocks at, and some of them have connections with Venetian/Murano glass artists. There is a glass hot shop at the bottom of the hill from where I live, and an Italian glassblower has visited there and done work at this hot shop. It is amazing to watch them work.<br />Personally, I think it would be very helpful in finishing your book, for you to take a month on Murano. Just sayin. <br />Visiting from the A to Z from http://yourbrainonpandas.com (don't let the panda kindergarten in the glass shop.)Panda in Chiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14160375490647791433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345254913878149620.post-20411374519812086722014-04-16T07:46:57.356-07:002014-04-16T07:46:57.356-07:00I love, LOVE glass.
