Cindy has completed Myrt's Address Window and it's nice to see this stunningly colorful window be completed. There's more to this than meets the eye and it all becomes apparent when you learn that it will spend its life residing at 2 Cherry Street!
Lisa started and completed an adorable Bat On A Moon (which she drew up herself) as well as a large Halloween Pumpkin. Then when all of that was said and done she added hooks to her circular Bonsai Window so that it can hang in a window rather than be displayed on a stand. That's quite a productive class!
Linda L completed the first of her three 3D succulents and this one is a winner. There are a lot of tiny pieces throughout this project(the stained glass part only stands 5 inches tall) and believe it or not she's already got the other two wrapped and ready to be assembled.
Judy finished an Angel Suncatcher that she said she'd never do again (that was about a year ago). That said, she made this one look easy by completing it so quickly and effortlessly which proves just how far her stained glass skills have come along.
Our former student Roxie needed a purple Butterfly Lawn Ornament quickly so I came up with this. I liked the colors so much that I decided to post it here so others could see it!
Mimi was intent on grinding away at her Unicorn Crown which is shaping up to be a colorful affair. This project will also feature some wire work to add in little details that are too tedious to cut out, grind and wrap.
Martha has her Yellow Texas Rose all tacked together and even got her beveled border assembled so she knows the exact size her background glass should be when she cuts it. My prediction is that the background for this will be cut, ground, wrapped, and maybe even tacked together all in her next class.
Shelley's working on a white Kitty Window from a pattern that she's made in the past. She's altered the pattern to remove any stripes of color that the first cat had resulting in this pure white cat. Shelley has cut this out rather quickly indeed but then again, we always say that the second time you do something it goes quicker because you know all of the ins and outs of the pattern.
Susan R is gettin' squirrelly! Her Squirrel is well on its way to becoming a rain gauge holder that Susan will mount in her back yard. And from the looks of things that could possibly happen as soon as next week!
Cindy also started this small Fleur De Lis Panel and in one class got to the point where she only needs a background cut and then a border to complete it. Symmetry is the key in a FDL and she's done that wonderfully here.
Let has got two irons in the fire and her Flower Window is very nearly finished. I'm expecting that to be one of our completed windows next week. She also has this stunning Frank Lloyd Wright Inspired Window well under way featuring assorted densities of clear glass offset by three small drops of color. I love it!
Sheri's Business Card Window is moving along at a steady pace but in between other projects as you can see in the picture below. She's got a Frosty The Snowman Face all cut out and ready to be ground as well as a Santa Face which just needs to soldered.
Lara's Louisiana Collage Window is really starting to reveal itself now that she has most of the pieces that she's already cut ground and fitting together. She's chosen to grind her pieces before everything has been cut so that she can more easily make the choices for remaining colors. Lara wants a nice color-balanced window and sometimes this is the best way to get to that goal.
Susan D's Peacock has been completely ground already! She makes excellent time on all of her projects and her grinding on this is absolute perfection. We'll see this begin to get foiled when she returns.
Kerry was busy grinding the second wing of his clear, black and red Butterfly and he's moving along nicely with it. I will say that when you have to grind clear glass things go easier since you can see the pattern lines through the glass but that doesn't mean that there's no skill involved. On the contrary-- over-grinding is a definite possibility which Kerry has avoided beautifully.
Steve continues to work on his Lawn Art Piece continually adding more pieces to sturdy it up. It's a formidable piece of art and because everyone believes that this is much smaller than it actually is I've made sure that there's a hand in the picture to help show the true size of this piece.
Roxane's Address Window was wrapped and tacked together leaving her with just a final root beer border left to go. That's not cut yet but as longtime readers know, a border takes no time at all to cut IF you have a strip cutter. And we DO have a strip cutter. We do!
Cheryl's LSU Tower is getting closer and closer to being completed. She's decided to go with a double border on this which she will cut after the last two pieces of her background get cut and attached. The end is near.
Ann started a new Winged Heart but this one will go in a window rather than being placed in a yard. The only thing that needs to be changed to make that happen is to simply add two hooks. Ann has taken this home to wrap in foil which means that it will surely be completed next week.
Unfortunately, Angie escaped out the door unnoticed so I didn't get a picture of her two Tiger Eye Windows. Rest assured that they will be completed when she returns next week and then we will have some really nice pictures of them.
Arrivederci!
Paul
