The Missing Blog
I put the 2 pictures for this posting on a USB drive and then forgot about them until last night when I found them again. Sorry Joey!
The night was a quick one. Joey spent his time picking up where he had left off from two weeks earlier. As you can see from the picture below he had a few pieces left to grind before he could start wrapping this window.
He diligently worked on grinding each remaining piece, hoping to finish them before the end of the night. It was close, but at around 8:45 I told him he’d surely make it and he did with 1 or two minutes to spare!
I gave Joey a quick refresher course in wrapping the glass (remember that although this window looks like it was done by a seasoned professional, it’s only Joey’s second project) and then he took it all home with him to see what he might be able to finish during the week.
It’s going to be good to see this window finished as this same pattern was started by another student who dropped out of classes due to her job. Notice that the background of this window all flows together as if it were cut from one piece of glass. The glass only fit half the window, but good placement and a few tricks make all the pieces fit together as if it were unbroken.
We’ll see more of this Mallard tomorrow night when Joey returns.
