Happy Halloween!
With Halloween landing on a class day we had a small set of classes this week. Nonetheless, we do have 2 finished projects.
Fran was able to complete her Owl Window as we predicted here last week. There’s a spot here and there on this window that she wants to re-adjust so although it’s been completed she may be working on it for another class or two. We’ll find out for sure when she sees the finished version next week. I washed and colored this for her after she left so she hasn’t actually seen this yet!
Mary Lynn completed her Christmas Poinsettia this week while she was at home. We made a few touch ups (I had neglected to show her how to do the edges before she left last week) and then hung it up and snapped this picture. Don’t you think it looks great? Her next project will be a window with a spiritual theme. Look here in a few days to see the pattern.
Janice and Grace got their window all tacked together and then we lifted it up to see what it will look like with light behind it. You’ll have to take my word for it when I say it looks spectacular because I won’t take a back-lit picture until this window is finished and you can get the full effect!  Below is their window along with the glass they picked for the border colors. There will be a thin border of pink/green followed by a thicker brown border to finish it all off.
Ellen brought in her pieces all ground and wrapped. After tacking them together she got all of the center cut, ground and tacked into place.  There are only 8 pieces of glass left to cut before Ellen adds the two borders. Like the Crane window above, we held this one up to the light and I can’t wait to get a finished picture of this one for you all to see. Maybe I’m partial to it because blue is my favorite color but I really love everything about this window.
Jane was back with us this week and had almost all of the flowers cut. ground, wrapped and tacked in her Iris window. She got all the leaves cut out during class and most of the background has been traced out onto clear double-gluechip glass. I wasn’t quick enough to snag a picture before she had everything all boxed up and packed away in the car so she can continue working on it at home so I took a quick picture of the pattern and colored in the flowers that she had finished with a similar color. The picture you see below is just facsimile of what she really got accomplished but it gets the point across.
We missed having Cheryl in this week and we all wish her the very best! I have my doubts that we’ll be seeing her this week but perhaps we will during the second week in November.
