I went shopping

I wasn't planning on it. But somehow it happened. I went shopping. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet lol. The original plan was for me to meet my sister-in-law for lunch. We were going to discuss the plan on getting into the art circuit by March. I had NO idea she'd planned on shopping! I showed up at her house, she said "ok, let's go" and off we went. Mostly we hit craft stores, a couple of art galleries and then ate at this one art gallery that has two floors of art, a cafe and then upstairs they have a studio for local artists to work in. It was pretty cool. I saw some pieces similar to the kind of work I do...but I know I can do better. It seemed like the artist was on the right track, but was lacking in originality, color, creativity...something. It just didn't seem finished. I don't know...maybe it's me.

Anyway, I bought some glass plates I've been wanting to pick up and my sister-in-law sent me home with two boxes full of scrap stained glass. I LOVE that she does that kind of work! I get all my stained glass FREE!! Yaaaaaay me! Now I just have to get this damn studio finished so I can get to work. I have SHITLOADS of inventory to make before I can even consider getting on the circuit.
