glassy_witchNo really, that's my plan. In May, we will once again be opening up the woods for people to walk through and enjoy the bluebells, and by doing so, raise money through the National Garden Scheme for multiple charities, including Marie Curie and Macmillan Nurses. So this year, I thought I would try and get a little bit ahead and make some fused glass suncatchers with bluebells on. And probably daffodils. And also probably snowdrops, which will be long over by May, but I do measure years in snowdrops, so I am a *little* obsessed with them. And the daffodils make sense for the Macmillan Nurses thing.
I know I need to start doing craft markets and things again. But on the one hand I'm thinking I can't in good conscience ask people to buy my art when so many are struggling to buy food,pay their mortgage etc....then the far more rational side of my brain reminds me that people struggling to that extent aren't the ones AT the markets and I am not *forcing* anyone to buy things. Which is immediately countered by the unhelpful voice telling me that maybe I shouldn't go because it's not my main income stream and therefore I might be taking custom away from someone who desperately needs it, followed by....yeah, you get the picture.
Anyway, enough prevarication. One sheet of tekta left and a circle cutter ready to...errr. Score glass, really.
