A Quiet But Productive Night
Tonight was a lot less hectic than it was last week but that doesn’t mean that Cheryl and Joey just sat around doing nothing. On the contrary, both of them got major portions of work finished.
Joey tacked his Mickey Mouse together and then cut the 9 background pieces out of Glue Chip glass. Since we used Mickey as the actual pattern there was very little grinding involved to get everything to fit together. One that was finished he wrapped it tacked it and got ready to do the final step– the border. Joey picked a colorful Spectrum blue that compliments the bright colors in Mickey’s robes and hat and then cut and ground them. He’s taken them home to wrap and next week he’ll be finishing this window for sure. There’s no mistaking who this mouse is.
Meanwhile Cheryl ground the background scenery she had cut at home and then wrapped and tacked all of it together. She was able to modify the pattern herself when she ran short of some sky blue. I always say that the pattern isn’t set in stone and that you should feel free to re-arrange as needed. She added a cloud and then had enough blue to finish the sky. She’s taken her window home with her this week so she can solder the front of it and get a head start on her work next week. There’s only a brown border left to cut and then this window will almost be finished.
