Finally got the whole of my new batch of jewellery completely finished late last night, but won't go on sale until the end of next week. I've booked a photoshoot for Wednesday for all my pieces, plus one or two of me for promo purposes. Can't wait for that. I'm so excited!! Nick was so enthusiastic about it all last night when he saw the finished pendants. He doesn't want me to sell half of them, that I should keep them. I have to keep telling him, it doesn't work like that. :D
I adore him for his support though. It means the absolute world to me. I can see my passion for it beginning to rub off on him. It's infectious!
Have another batch firing as we speak. It'll be torture being in work today, not being able to sneak a peak. Will have to sit on my hands!! I stayed late last night just to get that firing in. It is pretty eerie in that glass-house when you are alone. Pitch dark apart from the light above my head...the glow from the furnaces, the cracking and popping of the days used scrap glass cooling and contracting in the water troughs, sound of the air jets into the furnaces, the hum of the cooling fans.. I love it at night though. I can sit on the concrete floor shattering bits of cullet with my hammer, making as much mess as I want, although there is no evidence of that when it's time to leave. I'm very clean and tidy conscious, especially where broken glass is concerned.
I have to decide tonight what's more important, going straight from work to get an outfit for the christening on Sunday, or stay behind and get some polishing done.... Want to stay in work... :( I just have SO much on at the moment, I don't know if I'm coming or going. I have a permanent blinding headache. Nothing bad, just so many things to think about. I'm still happier than I've been in a long while though. I laugh a lot more than I have been lately. Being in work has been fab this week. Our workforce is the funniest, friendliest workforce that you could ever hope to find anywhere. I keep harping on about them, I know, but I just love each and every one of them. There is no other job on earth I don't think, where everyone is just so happy to be there. Morale is high, except when we had another power cut on thursday at a critical point in the new pot's firing schedule... It happens so often now. Power cuts at the worst possible times. Just have to wait a few days and see if damage has been done. But apart from that the future is looking golden. :)
