Eyes

This summer has been a time of SK eye adjustments. Frustrating as initial eye surgery took longer than expected to heal.  Addition surgery tbc.  But hopefully the end result will be improved eye power, although currently time looking at a screen is limited.  The curved plastic shield had to be taped to my head every night for the first two weeks post surgery to protect my eye.  My eyes were affected by measles when I was a tiny child. Although I was obviously very short sighted afterwards, and rather accident prone, my mother didn’t think a girl wearing glasses was a good idea, and tried various cures such as Holy Water and prayer.  Neither worked.  Luckily a schoolteacher had a word with my mother, and I started wearing NHS glasses. Bliss! No more falling out of trees etc.

Currently my projects are delayed, but I have more thinking time.  Last week managed to take some of my clockwork companions to another event at the Art Workers Guild annual Table Top event, with the aid of dark glasses.  In previous years I’ve displayed my Museum of Dust, Desperate Dan memorabilia and surprise packaging. Apart from the fun of displaying different ‘museums’, it’s always a joy to meet and chat to visitors, and of course to some of the other collectors.  More about this year’s event to follow.
