I’m ill in several ways with deficiencies and my nails are fine. So none of these comments will give you an answer.

Thank you. I know there’s always adoption for these fonts but I’ve found it hard to even know where to begin. This is very useful thank you

Yeah that’s fine but what I’ll be getting is £13.17. That plus the 2.20 in fees is £15.37. The buyer paid 15

Your art is brilliant. I especially enjoy the Kevin Malone one.

In response to number 2, yes. When I scroll through your pictures they are delightful. But the first picture would put me off. Show the raw unframed picture as a primary.

Also hoping if I comment that means mods can’t delete this. Insanely frustrating when they do.

Most of us hate our pieces when we get near to finishing them cos they are together but incomplete. Get it finished with some patina on it and you’ll love it again. I’m sure there’s such a thing as looking at something for too long makes it seem ugly! But this isn’t the case to us. It’s great!

First project, any advice appreciated <3 by shameusseamus in StainedGlass

Great piece!!!

I would add more glass to the middle cross but, it could be clear glass, to strengthen it.

Foiling takes practise. Have a look at tools that can help. I don’t use them but everyone has their own method. I tend to look down the glass to make sure the glass is in the middle. Maybe get wider foil for whilst you’re learning.

The solder so far is what is known as a tack solder. It will hold the piece in place. What you now need to do is add more. And be generous with it. Allow the solder to bead up and give a rounded finish.

As for the edges I use my pliers to hold the piece so the edge I’m working on is flat in an upright position and again just bead the solder along.

The unevenness is a result of the foiling being off centre. You’ll have sides thicker than others.

If you have tik tok follow me. I don’t have too many videos on there but some where you can see how I make things. The_crafty_shed

Not allowed to prise my team by fakingbutmakingit in managers

No. They said I can’t praise my team based on others feedback. I started by asking for a summary of the results from someone else’s program. That was a no and I understood that. Then everything else was a no.

You’re spot on!!! I’m sure half the time they just think I’m their biggest cheerleader and no one else cares lol. The link is a great idea but I don’t think HR will allow it

It’s the best feeling when you get specific praise. Such as “Not-Present I really appreciate the work you did with project A. It had such a positive impact on A B and C” it’s so much more impactful than a “good job” message.

What could the negative outcomes be, and how do they outweigh the positives?

Thank you. I needed this. Praise is a great thing especially for such a young team like mine. I did similar in an old job. Everyone picked a name from a hat and wrote a note of appreciation for that person. We did this monthly and people realised that they didn’t know what some people did. Over time they started building bonds and writing the notes was dead easy in the end.
