我創(chuàng)作的玻璃和陶瓷藝術品的靈感來自大自然

Wouldn’t it be amazing to stumble on a fairytale picnic in the woods and be invited to join? Have you ever wanted to go on a *real* treasure hunt for buried treasure hidden by codes and clues? Those examples may sound fantastical, but as Miss Wondersmith, it is my goal to make them a reality!

如果能在森林里偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)一場童話般的野餐，并被邀請參加，那不是很奇妙嗎?你是否曾經(jīng)想要進行一次“真正的”尋寶活動，尋找隱藏在代碼和線索中的寶藏?這些例子聽起來可能很神奇，但作為Wondersmith小姐，我的目標是讓它們成為現(xiàn)實!

A few years ago, I threw a surprise party for strangers. I hid invitations in the woods written on purple ferns, I created artistic vessels to hold the food, and I foraged the ingredients myself. It was a magical experience, and it filled my heart in a way it had never been filled before. That experience changed my life.

幾年前，我為陌生人舉辦了一個驚喜派對。我把寫在紫色蕨類植物上的請柬藏在樹林里，我做了藝術容器來盛食物，我自己去尋找食材。這是一次奇妙的經(jīng)歷，它以一種前所未有的方式填滿了我的心。那次經(jīng)歷改變了我的一生。

For several years now, I have been working as Miss Wondersmith, hosting more magical events that are always free to my guests! I’m supported by generous patrons, who want to help and believe in what I am doing (and get some bonus treats as thanks, of course.) I like to create my artwork to accompany each event, and, until now, I have been selling them to supplement my income.

幾年來，我一直在做史密斯小姐的工作，主持更多的魔術活動，這些活動對我的客人總是免費的!我得到了慷慨的贊助人的支持，他們想要幫助我，并且相信我所做的事情(當然，還會得到一些作為感謝的獎勵)。我喜歡在每一次活動中創(chuàng)作我的作品，直到現(xiàn)在，我一直在出售它們來補充我的收入。

But lately, I have been thinking about what “success” means to me. All I want in life is to be able to live comfortably and do what I love, which is making the world a more wonder-filled place! This is why I set a goal for myself on my patreon page. As soon as I’m able to earn enough every month to cover my supplies, materials, and medical costs (I have several chronic illnesses), I’ll be able to afford to give away my beautiful artwork! I’m so excited to be able to offer my patrons clues or hints, or host surprise competitions, or share my art with a group of people in need of comfort (like the series of chalices I made for survivors of the Camp Fire in CA last year, glazed with the ashes of their lost homes.)

但是最近，我一直在思考“成功”對我來說意味著什么。我在生活中想要的只是能夠舒適地生活，做我喜歡的事情，這讓世界變得更加精彩!這就是為什么我在我的patreon頁面上為自己設定了一個目標。只要我每個月能掙到足夠的錢來支付我的生活用品、材料和醫(yī)療費用(我有好幾種慢性病)，我就有能力把我漂亮的藝術品送給別人!我很興奮能夠提供顧客的線索或暗示,或主機意外的比賽,或與一群人分享我的藝術需要安慰(像酒杯裝我的系列的幸存者營火去年在CA,釉面的骨灰也失去了家園)。
