I’ve been working on Valentines Day stuff for my window display. Every year, I contemplate what I’ve learned about love that year. Some years have been great and some years have been an absolute dumpster fire. And some have changed everything.
At the wise old age of almost 48, I should say that you need to love someone who is your match. Someone who checks all the boxes. Perfect income, perfect body, perfect routine. Same hobbies and zero red flags. But, in reality, that would be a lie. Love the person you disagree with. The one with issues and baggage. The person with a barely contained storm. Perfection is a facade. Love the one who won’t let you go. Ever. If they can walk away, let them. Even if it kills you.
To summarize: it’s fitting that Cupid carries an arrow.
In the shop: I’m working on the 3D project for my Year of the Crone art installation. I’m not a fan of 3D work. It tends to feel bulky to me, which is the absolute anthesis of what I try to do with glass. I can see the parts and pieces in my mind. I can see how it SHOULD come together…and then there is reality. I’m not an engineer, which becomes completely apparent. The good part about this project is that it needs to look a little wanky, and I can do wanky all.day.long.
Me: I’m surviving winter. I finally found a winter sport that I like and doesn’t involve skiing. Snowshoeing is fun and non-intrusive. I get to trudge around and look at pretty winter scenery. Zero complaints.
I hope this finds everyone well. Thanks for reading.
