| Auction Description | These daggers took a roundabout route to Desert Bus this year. Originally, the crafter conceived these as a single longsword, but after more than 15 hours of grinding and polishing, a sudden slip of her hand left the sword in two pieces. With the deadline approaching and limited access to the necessary equipment, she knew she wouldn't be able to finish a whole new blade in time, so she prepared to drop out of the Craft-Along. But something occurred to her: at their core, Child's Play and Desert Bus for Hope are all about creating joy and beauty in defiance of misfortune and hardship. And what better way would she, as a crafter, have to embody that than by taking a seemingly broken project and turning the flaws into strengths? So the sword became a pair of daggers, drawn from a single blade and carefully ground to match each other. If you win them, hopefully you find beauty in that. Cleaning and care: Household glass cleaner works well, but the edges are sharpened and very susceptible to chipping because of how thin they are. Please be careful when handling and cleaning! |

| Crafter Bio | Robin is a glass artist with 8 years of experience whose work pays a lot of respect to the media she has loved throughout her life. 3 years ago, she began experimenting by grinding and polishing glass swords, which opened up new subject matter for her to explore. Now, she likes to look for techniques and designs from traditional weaponsmithing that she can recreate in glass, and her inner sword lesbian has never been happier. When not working or polishing glass, she can usually be found cooking, reading, or playing video games. | |
