I cannot believe how tired I am. Even though I’m sleeping well (okay, I’m sleeping the sleep of the dead!) I am exhausted by the time each day ends. I’m not doing anything difficult on the glass studio floor, but I am working hard. Every moment I’m aware; every movement is deliberate. And my feet . . . I’m a seamstress! I sit a lot! This is not so much with the sitting!
I didn’t remember to take a photo all day today, so just now, I took one of the new Chris Achilleos sketch in the sketchbook! His Greek Spartan soldier! The coloured art on the left, is the little card I bought, that is a small print of his very first dragon! Painted in 1979, he reminded me that no one was drawing dragons like that then! I love it, and I will frame it and place it in the Dragon Bathroom in our home in Arlington.
An interesting note about tonight: I walked to the shower in such a fog (no, not a mental one!) that I couldn’t see the shower building until I was almost there. The humidity here right now is 97 percent, and I can hear the dripping, but it never gets to the ground. Weird. And lovely.
Glass today . . . more glass tomorrow . . . with a little bit of wine in between!

That’s so cool that you are doing so much glass work, MB! I’m jealous of all the creative talent you have!
It has been super fun to gain so much more experience on the glass floor. The creativity is all Shannon, though! She really is amazing. We are making some amazing pumpkins! Of course, every now and then she indulges me and lets me pick colours, or make a suggestion on how to place the silver leaf sheets . . . but, mostly I’m just enjoying soaking up the knowledge she has, and learning as I go.
