I got these small lovely glass leaves ages ago. These were so pretty and adorable that I couldn't resist. After I received the package I was delighted. Packed in old tissue paper with a stamp "Made in Czechoslovakia 3 grs". These are pressed from white silky "moonstone" glass and have high-detail pattern. After the first emotions I realized I can't use them - I couldn't adjust any setting to use, there was no holes for attaching and gluing was just something that is really not my thing. I tried and tried to use wire but every attempt failed.
So these leaves just sat for 3-4 years or so. So sad, really... Until this kind of glass leaves was put to an auctions recently. With hours until the auctions end I was sitting in front of the computer and wondering what to do. So pretty little adorable glass leaves! But there was no point even in bidding when I can't use these, right? So I decided that if I can't use these I'm not going to bid. Hours passed and I was looking at the white leaves...
I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. Guess what?! I did it, I tried to attach the leaf to a piece of wire, exactly as I did 3-4 years ago, and succeeded the very first try. How odd is that?! Well, what I'm trying to say is that I made my bid and won one auction. Lesson learned. When time is right, it is right. Cheers ;)

Ma ostsin need valged klaasist lehed ammu. Need olid nii ilusad ja armastusväärsed, et ma ei saanud vastu panna. Kui paki kätte sain, olin väga rõõmus. Need olid pakitud siidipaberisse, millel oli tempel "Made in Czechoslovaki 3 grs". Lehed on pressitud valgest "kuukivi" klaasist ja neil on ülipeen pressitud muster. Pärast emotsioonitulva sain aru, et ma ei saagi neid kasutada - olemasolevatest "pesadest" ei suutnud ühtegi sobivaks kujundada, auke lehtedel pole ja liimimine pole lihtsalt minu värk. Proovisin lugematul kordadel traati mässida nende ümber, kuid kahjuks iga katse ebaõnnestus.
Nii need lehekesed istusid 3-4 aastat. Päris kurb tegelikult... Kuni sarnased lehed pandi hiljuti oskjonile. Oksjonite lõpuni oli jäänud loetud tunnid, ma istusin arvuti eest ja mõtlesin, mida teha. Lihtsalt armastusväärsed lehekesed! Aga pole mõtet isegi teha pakkumist, kui ma tean, et neid kasutada ei saa, onju nii? Nii ma siis otsustasin, et kui neid lehekesi kasutada ei oska, siis oksjonil panust ei tee. Tunnid kahanesid ja ma vaatasin kurvalt oma valgeid lehekesi...
Mõtlesin, et proovimine ei tee ju paha. Ja arvake ära?! Ma tegin ja sain hakkama esimesel korral. Kuigi kasutasin täpselt sama võtet kui 3-4 aastat tagasi. Kas pole uskumatu?! Nojah, kuhu ma üritan jõuda oma jutuga on see, et ma tegin oma pakkumised ja ühe oksjoni ka võitsin. Ja õppetund. Kui aeg on õige, siis on õige aeg. Päikest ;)
