I can't believe the last time I posted here was the beginning of July. I think my life is in a resting period where life is normal though I find that every day I am calmer. Issues that crop up are handled without much of a reaction from me. The saying 'it is what it is' seems to be my brain most times.
I am still being treated for the Macula Degeneration - which is the arteries in the back of your eyeball bleeding causing the loss of center visition. If you wonder what happens, put your finger in front of the center of your eye. The body is really an incredible operating machine. So many parts that create us.
I have turned back to clay but I do not wish to run back and forth to the clay shop to fire the clay. I bought non-firing clay and so far it works for what I want to do. Acrylic paint works well on the non-firing clay but you must also let it dry for two or three days before you paint. I won't be doing the normal things you do with clay - vases, bowls, etc.
Never let anything discourage you and don't be sad when you turn off the torch for the last time. You are the art and glass is just another medium of expression. Art on!
