KIM S JOY STAINED GLASS AND JEWE​LRY

Blogging with glass

Failure is not an option in my studio!

I really hate the word failure. Mistakes I can handle but failure just rubs me the wrong way. I have been married twice, were they failures? I like to think of them as learning lessons. We will not go into details but one lasted 4 years and on lasted 20 years. I do have three wonderful children from husband #2.

Creating in stained glass does not always work out the best. The mistakes made from 2004 to 2011 were buried in the backyard of the the house we were living in from 2009-2011. Now I give "mistakes" to charities for fundraisers. They are not bad, just do not fit what I want my business to say about me and my art. If someone can make some money off them I am thrilled.

Designs... some are spot on, others are just not there yet. I might keep them for a bit of time to see if they grow into some good.

Do not let failure be part of your vocabulary! You can have mistakes, which are totally ok. We are not perfect and were not intended to be perfect. Life, learn and grow!
