Had a dream the other night; I forget the most part of it but it was terrible. For some reason, I had to go in a car that I had to drive, but Maxine drove instead. We got into an accident and it began to spin, and as the momentum picked up the car flipped entirely over. I felt the blood rush to my head and the dirt meet the ceiling as we continued to spin. It was night time and I saw a tree while we were upside down; we were in the suburbs. Glass shattered and I knew I was going to die or at least get very hurt. Because I was panicking, I woke up-- though I think I had only waken up in my dream, because when I opened my eyes the room was still spinning and I still felt like I was dying. And then I went back to sleep and back to that same dream of the crashing car.

And then nothing.

A work in progress; this is the unfinished sketch, but I don't feel like posting the sort of finished one now because I have some kinks to work out. There's gonna be lots of patterns.

I'm going to put a different part of it on a different layer of sheet glass so it'll have a sort of 3D effect and a different sense of depth. Plan on using gouache, cut paper, acrylic(?), pen and ink, and probably some crayon. I wonder how crayon sticks to glass. Maybe if I spray it with crystal clear first?
The big bad wolf in reality is the teeth of nature. Coincidence that it's always a woodsman killing the wolf?
The wicked witch is a nature activist who is just treating humans the way they treat animals by eating them. That'll be next.
I wish that I could automatically know everything about glass blowing and techniques. I'm so excited for that class. For now I have to settle with cutting up windows.
