I was going to mark this OT, but on further reflection I decided that it's very ON topic.
When I was away last week (seems like it was eons ago already) I tried to assimilate SO much stuff. I had a great day with one of the world's greatest lampwork artists. I spent a day at a FAB supplier and for the first time got to see every kind of glass in person (Art Glass House, very highly recommended by me) and I went to Mr. Beady and got to see the amazing work of many other artists.
I couldn't wait to get home to play with fire. Interestingly, however, once I got home I kept putting it off and putting it off. I was so overwhelmed with new info that I couldn't focus. My mind was racing and I couldn't slow down my brain enough to do ANYTHING.
I played with some of the new techniques I learned and many that I dreamed up while walking on the beach at night (I have an etched/tinted puffy heart that is to DIE for!) but I still didn't turn the torch on.
Finally, yesterday, I played with fire. And boro. OMG what fun!
So here's the point of this post: When you go to a conference or show or somewhere that you are bombarded with a lot of new info, are you able to assimilate/focus when you return home or do you struggle as I have?
