new vision
I picked up my new glasses today. From the front they don't look much different from my old glasses. They have plastic sides while the old ones were all thin metal.
Karen visited today and brought her friend Sue S. I really liked Sue! A very down to earth and natural, real person. She does encaustic painting and took 2 classes with contthemoon. That was exciting to find out. Encaustic painting is something I would really like to do more of. Sue commissioned a pendant very much like the one I did recently called, "Honey Heart" and when I get it done I'm going to deliver it to her house so I can see her encaustic studio. Things feel like they are opening up right now for me and I am glad. Dave finished the roller cart today that we will put the big kiln on and I can move it out of my storage area so *finally* I can get on with organizing my art supplies. Maybe I really will get all this moving and organizing done someday!
Oh, and another hopeful thing. Talking to Nancy this morning about ways to get outside more and I feel myself getting more ready to get a dog again. After Tenzing I really didn't want another dog. I missed him but I didn't miss "a dog". But maybe enough time has passed that my heart can open to that too.
