Tuesday Evening
Gerald got busy cutting and wrapping 2 borders today. The first border had some elements from the center design of the window cutting into it so he had to work around that a bit. Luckily it was easy enough.
The second border had no obsticles to work around and once we changed the cutting wheel on the strip cutter things went a lot smoother. The corners were decided on the spur of the moment. Gerald knew he wanted something that stood out but he wasn’t sure what. One of the original ideas was to put the off-green that was used as accent pieces in the corners of the white boder and then put the white in the corners of the final glue chip border, but in the end we all agreed that it was a little too much. Now that it’s basically finished I can honestly say that this is one classy looking window. Gerald should be proud. Here are 2 views, one with the camera’s flash on and another without.
Jane was back a bit early from her ‘vacation’ and was able to attend class tonight. I’m not sure if she planned on finishing her Rose Window when she arrived, but that’s what happened. She tacked her final border, put on her brass channel and started soldering. Before we knew it she was finished and washing it off in the sink. I think she was happy with it. I know I was. 
Jane does wonderful work and she’ll be working on a parrot window next week.
Craig was in tonight and he dropped off a window frame that he wants to put some glass in. It’s about the size of his last window but broken up into 4 sections. He picked a heron scene that I will draw up for him over the weekend. Then he picked out he glass he’ll be using so we can have everything on hand when he starts this window in 2 weeks. I know he’ll do just fine.
We all had a good time tonight and there was a lot of chatting going on amongst everyone throughout the night. With everyone sharing stories and laughing the night just seemed to fly by…
