Billie’s window, which will hang in the transom above her front door, is completed! The dark green numbers are set in clear glue-chip glass and then bordered in the same green used in the numbers. 4 corner accents give the window a friendly and less “strictly business” look that would have occured had they not been included. I played around with the picture of her finished window and came up with a crude representation of what the window would look like without the accent corners. As you can see, they add so much to the character of the window.

Julie is finished save for touching up the soldering job. Her finished window will be one of 2 spotlight pieces next week. We hit a minor snag when we found a small crack in one of her pieces that we’ll need to repair before we wash it up and color it. I’d do it before she got into class next week but I would rather let everyone see how you knock out a broken piece from the center of a window. Luckily, it’s a quick easy fix.

Kim’s Rooster window looks like it will also be finished next week (That will be the second spotlight window). She added her border and soldered the first side this week. The second side should be a lot easier for her now that she’s had a lot of soldering practice on the front of her window. And since she didn’t seem to have any trouble at all with it I’d expect her second side to go quicker than her first side did. Look for her finished window here next week.

Ann has decided to make a Stained Glass Angel for her next project. The pattern is a resized version of an Angel I used to make a few years back. I wish I could take credit for the pattern but it’s a Warner Crivellaro design. Come back next week to see what it looks like.
The music selection this week was Fleetwood Mac and all the band members solo hits, I neglected to mantion that last week we listened to a-Ha.  Yes, they do more than just “Take On Me”.
