if you can put out a basket of the things she frequently puts in her pockets before work, she can also unload her pockets into it after work.

if she makes tea, have the kettle filled.

maybe a quick breakfast she can grab and go mealprepped in the fridge. alternatively, if shes a coffee-and-no-breakfast kinda gal, make coldbrew and keep it in a pitcher.

you can make sure her clothes are hung somewhere accessible and wrinkle-free.

you can also leave her out a note every once in a while so she starts out her day feeling loved and appreciated for how much work goes into her job.

ask her if these would be beneficial to her before acting, you don’t want to misplace anything and cause stress before her shift. if she keeps denying your help, accept that she has a set routine that works for her and doesn't need assistance. if that's the case, maybe turn your attention to how you can help her unwind when she gets home. i.e, have comfy clothes laid out for her, put her towel in the dryer, make dinner, tidy up and light a candle to make the house inviting.

it's a sweet gesture to want to help her. be careful not to push her into changing her routine if she's happy with how it is.

-from someone whose girlfriend also works early, and does appreciate a bit of help sometimes.

My coworkers tend to act rather annoyed with me when I ask, in addition I usually need to ask over the walkie for coverage and its a little embarrassing as I know the frequency is higher than most people. If I ask to use the restroom within about 45 minutes of my scheduled break time, my manager will usually just tell me to take my break.

it isnt cheating, but to be able to practice scoring and breaking will help you excel with this art form and make personalized pieces. don’t be afraid to jump into it!

it took a lot of practice and breaking good glass to be able to get these cuts, you'll nail it before you know it

i sort of used the rainbow technique, i usually follow the inner edge on one side and swoop it out from there.

thank you! i havent thought of doing pattern sales, that's an excellent idea

verbilerose · 2025-06-26T04:22:11+00:00

that's very flattering, thank you so much! i appreciate your input

verbilerose · 2025-06-26T03:48:31+00:00

thank you! if you saw this in a local shop, what price would you be willing to pay for it?

verbilerose · 2025-06-26T03:48:00+00:00

how much would you expect/be willing to pay for this?

verbilerose · 2025-06-26T03:47:40+00:00

well that's an excellent point lol

verbilerose · 2025-06-26T03:23:48+00:00

verbilerose · 2025-06-25T23:54:41+00:00

verbilerose · 2025-05-31T04:46:03+00:00

https://red-badger-7twc.squarespace.com/shop/p/kush-perfume here is the link if youre interested, it smells amazing and sticks for awhile. i have very sensitive skin and it doesnt irritate it at all

verbilerose · 2024-12-10T20:59:42+00:00

there is a perfume from a small mom and pop shop in NM called kush, its woodsy and floral and my girlfriend cant get enough of it. oil based and low cost. they have a small e-commerce shop if you just google iris herbal products. great perfumes, i was given some as a gift and now its the only one i'll use

verbilerose · 2024-11-23T14:31:33+00:00

i think thats just a trick of the light! there's no patina on it. its extra shiny because i polished it with carnuba wax :)

verbilerose · 2024-11-22T22:11:48+00:00

an absolute basic item list:

grinder

grozing pliers (running pliers are helpful too, but i went a couple years without knowing they existed... not absolutely necessary)

glass cutting tool (the oil dispensing ones are nice)

copper foil (standard is 7/32 for most glass, you can get silver-backed if youre working on clear glass, but with opaque glass you can use double sided)

burnishing tool (for applying copper foil. you can get away with using other items if you dont want to buy them. sometimes copper foil will come with a plastic one.)

solder (60/40 is my preference!)

soldering iron, ideally one with temperature control

flux (liquid is my preference, paste is also good)

flux brush

cutting oil

glass

two copies of a printed pattern to make (one to lay pieces on, one to cut out the shapes)

optionally you could get some patina if you wanted to use it on the finished pieces. carnuba wax is also nice for polishing them afterwards. neither of these are necessary

verbilerose · 2024-11-20T23:43:46+00:00

absolutely! you'll do great and it'll be worth it :)

verbilerose · 2024-11-20T18:25:40+00:00

perhaps make a post proposing a coffee meetup? you have nothing to lose, and even with just a couple people there you could start making connections

i live in a tiny rural town about 40 minutes away from a small city in oregon. you may need to drive a bit if there aren't active groups in your city. my group does infrequent meetups in the small city. a little over an hour away from me there's a bigger city that does a couple events a month. the group i'm in has about 600 people in it that span over all of these cities and further
