Gotta start somewhere right!

My boyfriend and I went in on a flameworking studio in our home just a few months ago after this amazing experience we had on one of our date nights at this hotshop in Chicago called Ignite. We were just looking for something fun to do together honestly. Little did we know that an amazing adventure would be waiting for us afterward. After looking it up randomly on Google...boom, class was booked. Little did we realize that after it was over we'd go into withdrawal. It was then we decided to jump in head first and go for it.

I'd like to share my first pieces after some encouragement to post from friends. Please note, I realize these suck but we all gotta start somewhere.

Thanks in advance for looking!

This fought me the entire time. Almost threw across the room and cried lol but held back, made a fricking loop and threw in kiln instead.
