Ha! Ask and it shall be granted. 😊
Is it leaded glass?
This is really cool, thanks for sharing with us!
Hi mizzou! Will you describe how this is done. It seems like something I’d be interested to add to my hobbies. Thanks.
google paint pouring or fluid art.....there are several different techniques that can be done.....I use acrylic paints and a pouring medium such as floetrol...mix half medium and half paint. makes the paint like water...
excellent work! should sell?
I love looking at new art x
The red white and blue ones were ones that I did/donated to support a veteran's project. The heart shaped one was a gift to my mother...I don't have enough confidence in my abilities to sell them right now
I love this, I do understand about the confidence thing as I paint and it does take courage to put your work out there, but honestly I think you’re work is certainly marketable so it’s worth you thinking about it 💙
Drawing or art n craft
You are a man with hidden depths! That is a lovely object.
You are fully there.
I'm not exactly where I want to be with it.....but i've come a long way...I do good for a while....and then have relapses.....and then I get on my pity pot,.....and eventually I come back to not wanting to be the old me...
Well, the old saying is that it's not the destination that counts, but the journey. It's true, isn't it?
and I will go even 1 further and say that it's the people you meet along the way....happiness is just falling a little short today....good thing is is there is always tomorrow
And a tomorrow after that, your hobbies are super cool! Cooler than a lot of people I've met! (Not to talk ill! Haha)Don't stop doing what you enjoy... 🚂
Ow yuss! You are dead right about that, and it's being happy with what you've got, although I know that can be hard when you are young and have so many pressures, but there comes a time when what you've got is what you want. There is always tomorrow, and I believe that, while looking for tomorrow can be said to be wishing your life away, if the sight of the sunset brings you love, then tomorrow could well be good.
well I'm not exactly young...and that's part of what is driving me crazy in my current work situation.....there are some reasonable people....and then there are young people......trick for me is to just continue to try and teach......and help.....if I make a difference to 1 person......then my trip to the destination is better
To me, you are young, but I understand. I think it is probably in everyone's experience that the older we get, the more young people dismiss us. They can't imagine us as a young person, nor can they imagine that inside every old wrinkly is a beautiful young person. We are not only old but invisible. What you've said about making a difference to one person - could be something you could say to those non-connectors. You never know, they might have a heart.
I will be 54 next month....right now I am struggling at work because our staff has become so much younger....I've been on the job longer than some of my coworkers have been alive.....struggle with attitudes.....
Don't let them get to you. You are not old enough to have that "We've always done it that way" attitude, so that can't be the problem (or I wouldn't think it would be). Try to keep inside yourself and not allow yourself to go towards the attitudes that are being throw at you. I'm not going to predict what will happen, but it's not going to be overnight anyhow.
I just came out of this posting and found your link to Cognitive Distortions. Oh I found it so fascinating. It's not new to me but it was a great reminder of something - I don't remember what. I plan to return to it later, as it is as powerful a way to live with awareness as any Ten Commandments. Thank you. I'm off to bed now.😊😊
It's not so much as a "we've always done it that way attitude" as much as an "I've tried what you're trying and it doesn't work and is going to get you hurt" attitude...sometimes in my job attitude and communication skills or lack thereof can result in serious injury or death.....
Attitude and communication skills are what drives things, particularly communication skills. Somehow, you have to make the youngsters realise that while learning in school may have involved a lot of experimentation, that would have been safe way back then, but now the they are not in school; it's a different environment, when a lot of injuries can be prevented by their taking on board the wisdom you have from years of experience. You must have tales of injuries that have happened when you or someone else decided they could do their own thing - tales that you could make them listen to.
Sorry, not trying to tell you how to do your job; I'm just reinforcing the need you have to be responsible and to pass on that responsibility.
It sounds like you've made a lifetime of positive differences. And you trying is more than some can say. Keep strong, we're still going!
