The Cutting's Done On the Latest Stained Glass

And the grinding too! It's been 24 days but I've taken 3 days off for various reasons... so really 21 days.

Been working on the copper foiling but I ran out of the size copper foil I've been using for the pieces that are normal-sized thickness. After the foiling I will solder and patina the piece.

But as I wait for the new foil (local store isn't open on Mondays and I ran out on Sunday), I have been working on a new design of cardinals. Always looking forward! LOL!

Thank you for visiting. Please come back soon!

Chipping Away

LOL! Get it? Chipping. OK, that was lame.

Seriously, I'm slowly working on my rooster design. Taking awhile because I've only been working with stained glass for a month, so some of these cuts were very tricky - ESPECIALLY the tail feathers. A lot of those curves break in the wrong places. I changed the pattern along the way and thankfully I have a new bandsaw that steps in before I waste a whole sheet of glass again, (cutting just one ImPoSSiBle piece).

I just love working with stained glass. It allows me to use my art and design background along with working with a new medium with will not grow old soon, like a lot of the crafts I've tried.

Thank you for visiting. Please come back soon!
