One Missing, One Gained
We had a new student tonight and of course that means we have a butterfly here to look at. Murlin picked a transparent seedy blue glass for the wings and used clear seedy for the body. The picture was taken against a piece of white paper rather than with the butterfly hanging. If there had been daylight outside you could see it a little better, but as I’ve stated before, pictures are tough to take during our night class.
Murlin did a great job and I’m sure he’ll have no problems working on his first project which is pictured below next to his butterfly.
Danielle’s Parrot is VERY close to completion. There are only a few pieces left to grind and since she’s been wrapping the ground pieces at home throughout the week we’ll be able to tack it together and get the background in place very quickly. In fact, both Danielle and her father Joey look like they will be finishing their projects at about the same time.
Joey’s Mickey Mouse Window will most likely get it’s background cut next week. Like Danielle’s Parot, we have not cut the background glass yet. We will tack everything together and then set the mouse and the parrot on top of the glass to trace out the pieces. This insures an almost perfect cut and minimizes grinding. The work on this mouse is flawless.
Cheryl was a bit under the weather this week and we all wish her a speedy recovery. Class just isn’t the same without her around.
Next week we’ll have Gerald joining us on Wednesday night since he’ll be busy on his normally scheduled Tuesday. We’re more than willing to shuffle people around so they can get their projects done!
