Re: CReaTiNGs by PoETry
I have been doing a group class in glass art. I created this - it is hanging in my kitchen window. In the center is a crystal, I threaded beads and rose quarts onto wire. It was a course that I had a lot of anxiety doing - it's not structured, you just come and go as you wish.
Things to learn and anxiety to work through:
scoring glass
breaking the glass
foiling glass with copper foil
The flux is animal fat - and smells gross - initially it made me to want to be sick...got use to it LOL ( I'm a vegetarian)
Using a hot solder!!!!
Then the technical stuff soldering glass together.... I started with triangles, and just wanted to say, "I did glass art"...... Now I love glass art and want to do more!!!
What helped:
Having an awesome teacher!
Perseverance, taking time out - for anxiety, quiet learning time - (space) on the days the teacher wasn't there, and the other students did other activities.
Learning something new is a huge leap for this brain that broke-down. Learning and doing is stressful, but so worth it in the end.

Thanks Bluebird
yep made everything, even the bag LOL
I felted a flat mat then cut out the shapes, sewed on a nice image, then I stitched the two pieces together.
