After the Holiday
We’ve had a slow week with the Holiday just having passed us by. Both classes were unusually quiet today. I guess everyone was either worn out from the Holiday or just too busy working to talk!
Julie was in first and she cut out and assembled another pewter 3D casting of a humming bird. She plans on making a wreath of morning glory suncatchers and then suspending the humming bird from the center of it. Stay tuned to see how nice this is going to look when it’s together. Here’s two different views of the finished Humming Bird and a shot of the glass Julie picked for the morning glories (with the pattern traced out onto it).
Craig cut the green leaves that fit in the lower right corner panel of his 4 panel window. Then he ground and wrapped almost all the pieces. Next week he’ll have it tacked together and we’ll trace it directly on top of the water so everything fits perfectly. Don’t be surprised to see this a quarter of the way finished next week.
Danielle cut the rounded pieces for her border, ground them, wrapped them and then began to solder. She did very well considering this was the first time she really had anything sizable to solder. Her front is finished and the back only needs to be touched up before this window can be washed, cleaned up and then taken home.
Jessie finshed wrapping her window and started soldering also. Her front is finished but she still needs to get the back covered wih solder. All in all she’s moving along very well. I suspect this is another window that will be completed next week. I can’t wait to see it finished.
Lastly we have Russ who decided that he wanted to get in on the beveled window craze that seems to be sweeping our classes. And I must confess that I also have one in the works that you will see next week. Russ used all clear glasses and only has to cut his final border before he starts soldering his window. You’ll see this one better when it’s finished and hanging up in the sunlight.
Well, that was it for our classes today. Our quote of the day is “Danger, Danger! High Voltage!†and if you were here for the class it would make perfect sense to you.
