I tried to send you some pics but it didn't work. I'm not tekkie enough to figure out how to attach them to the comment. But there's lots of pics on my instagram to peruse if you like! I really enjoy your newsletter btw! ;) https://www.instagram.com/donnsabine/
Thank you for the encouragement on "hitting the wall". Yes, I completely agree. I'm into glass fusing (making plates, bowls, & jewelry) but it can take me a couple weeks or more to rearrange the pieces before firing. It's not so much a wall or a fence, but a "CDO" fit (OCD, just in order!🤦🏼♀️) I want it perfect...for me. But the latest "fence" that's keeping me from creating anything that's not consumable (like sourdough bread) is Space. I want to make stuff but am running out of space to put it all. I have been giving my creations away, but am running out of friends who don't already have some of my stuff. So the only thing I'm making now is some glass jewelry to leave at restaurants as an additional tip, and eyeballs for rocks that I hide in the woods. They're special rocks though; they already have a smirk or frown and the eyeballs enhance the expression. 😏I have ADHD and the attention span of a gnat; trying to sell stuff at a fair requires patience, which I lack. I tried that a couple of times and it was nerve wrecking and expensive, so I stopped. I make sourdough bread now --a different one with beer and seeds or cheese twice a week. It's consumable and doesn't add to the clutter. Only my waist suffers. But at least the mind stays active, since I make up my own recipes.
Hi Sabine, thanks so much for sharing this. I love the sound of your glass fusing practice: these restaurants are lucky to have had you visit! Art fairs are stressful indeed and I hope that you can find a version of your own over time. I'm curious about the expressive rocks, and you'll have to send me a photo of your bread!
