It was only an hour or so after I went out that I thought my idea was not the wisest idea, but since I was already out and in the midst of creating the glass, I stayed. \u00a0I decided to make more tiles like the blue ones I had made before in a previous workshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n A few weeks ago, I contracted the flu. \u00a0Although I never get the flu shot (it does not respond well to my system), I haven’t had the flu in years. \u00a0And so I forgot that, no matter how much you … Continue reading ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.jsgreene.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_1281-300x200.jpg\" "\\"Blue")
