A stained glass artwork in 3 parts: 2 crescent moons to either side of a full moon. All 3 show colourful depictions of mythological goddesses. On the left is the Elder, Hecate with a lion and an owl, in the centre is Gaia, the Mother, slaying a dragon that represents Big Oil, on the right is Artemis, the Daughter. All 3 have borders of alchemical symbols. The sigils on the full moon are the words Empathy, Morality and Civility.

My papier mache wishing well at #Lightwaves last Saturday night. The little kids had fun ringing the bell inside with a coin toss while they made a wish. This was the 3rd Lightwaves event at St Paul's Church.

She's finished! I submitted this work "Know Yourself" to the National Glass Centre's final exhibition in Sunderland. It's a playful modern take in homage to the work of Alfons Mucha. Wish me luck for acceptance.

AI "art" sucks. It's environmentally damaging, it's theft, it's awful. Why is Bluesky showing it to me and how can I make it stop?

Using the glass saw means the shapes can be cut nearly intact. The inward curves are too sharp to be cut by hand, so usually I cut them into smaller shapes. That isn't necessarily a *bad* thing. The "3" shape has stress points & is more prone to cracking if the finished piece is handled roughly.

Testing methods of keeping the lines from washing away when cutting with the glass saw. So far, acrylic marker pen covered in nail varnish stays on reasonably well. Sharpie marks and acrylic markers alone wash off nearly instantly. #stainedglassart

AI art is ruining the environment, and stealing artists' work and jobs. Don't encourage them. I don't care how cute or funny a meme is. AI sucks.

I would probably reply "chips" and wait for your return volley.
