我创作的玻璃和陶瓷艺术品的灵感来自大自然

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发现一场童话般的野餐，并被邀请参加，那不是很奇妙吗?你是否曾经想要进行一次“真正的”寻宝活动，寻找隐藏在代码和线索中的宝藏?这些例子听起来可能很神奇，但作为Wondersmith小姐，我的目标是让它们成为现实!

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.

几年前，我为陌生人举办了一个惊喜派对。我把写在紫色蕨类植物上的请柬藏在树林里，我做了艺术容器来盛食物，我自己去寻找食材。这是一次奇妙的经历，它以一种前所未有的方式填满了我的心。那次经历改变了我的一生。

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.

几年来，我一直在做史密斯小姐的工作，主持更多的魔术活动，这些活动对我的客人总是免费的!我得到了慷慨的赞助人的支持，他们想要帮助我，并且相信我所做的事情(当然，还会得到一些作为感谢的奖励)。我喜欢在每一次活动中创作我的作品，直到现在，我一直在出售它们来补充我的收入。

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”对我来说意味着什么。我在生活中想要的只是能够舒适地生活，做我喜欢的事情，这让世界变得更加精彩!这就是为什么我在我的patreon页面上为自己设定了一个目标。只要我每个月能挣到足够的钱来支付我的生活用品、材料和医疗费用(我有好几种慢性病)，我就有能力把我漂亮的艺术品送给别人!我很兴奋能够提供顾客的线索或暗示,或主机意外的比赛,或与一群人分享我的艺术需要安慰(像酒杯装我的系列的幸存者营火去年在CA,釉面的骨灰也失去了家园)。
