Since Linda recently returned from a Cruise and really wasn't prepared to jump head first into the drudge of letter grinding so she took her time and eased her way along the letters while on the grinder.

It not only framed the window but balanced it as well. Her version of the Modern Tulip Window has a bit of a Frank Lloyd Wright feel to it because those blue stripes make it resemble his Tree Of Life windows.

I'm not saying that they'll go quickly, but they will definitely go faster.

With all of this window cut and ground, she will begin soldering it when she comes back in next week. <br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj3O3m6Zsqo4X5G08uxtYhW_dKiSUEkdWPxQL3TDcHcbRK5SPHDRDCXpo4zgNh4RpuAITq-IFDz5l-DgBaZDKMff8TOZo0q8SpEYkJGhTGUjNy72EffRCezAitzyY5gO6mr1kIzHiQNv5FXF2-bmzhE0tbodHLNT1lwWOvLGTlz4J9mz0FyiOD8z8RsWiq/s400/sheri_r.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="384" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj3O3m6Zsqo4X5G08uxtYhW_dKiSUEkdWPxQL3TDcHcbRK5SPHDRDCXpo4zgNh4RpuAITq-IFDz5l-DgBaZDKMff8TOZo0q8SpEYkJGhTGUjNy72EffRCezAitzyY5gO6mr1kIzHiQNv5FXF2-bmzhE0tbodHLNT1lwWOvLGTlz4J9mz0FyiOD8z8RsWiq/w192-h200/sheri_r.jpg" width="192" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Steve lucked out this week because when you split a large window into six smaller sections you end up with some of them being complex and some of them being well, for lack of a better word- simple.

That's actually a very huge achievement because soldering is not something that you can rush through (unless you don't care what it looks like). As you can see Lisa DID care what it looked like and the end result is nothing short of wonderful. Again, his is her own design and I love when students draw up their own window patterns. This will be a gift and the lucky recipient will surely enjoy enjoy looking at it for years to come. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwVWxpbC-eAEVT9T-BAHOyhpT1Le6bR_b-xrTS03VgSY9fqecNENw4T9Omp66NyZObbyajXyrs4esTYJCUF00FWVG_x0nwUL98aOiXjlnyrgn3kz9Cum1HmXtNoVr5p94yuPqx8aOvT6Z3zKRlNx10_jDsayiYBATdOPX-oF0Zf9Z7TFBs1qX64eqCPocX/s400/lisa_nF.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="330" data-original-width="400" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwVWxpbC-eAEVT9T-BAHOyhpT1Le6bR_b-xrTS03VgSY9fqecNENw4T9Omp66NyZObbyajXyrs4esTYJCUF00FWVG_x0nwUL98aOiXjlnyrgn3kz9Cum1HmXtNoVr5p94yuPqx8aOvT6Z3zKRlNx10_jDsayiYBATdOPX-oF0Zf9Z7TFBs1qX64eqCPocX/s320/lisa_nF.jpg" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Shelley's Dark Side Of The Moon Window is minimal perfection.

Although I'm thrilled with the end result of the pattern I wasn't sure of exactly how complex she wanted to go. I've since offered to change the background to make it appear as though the horse is on an actual carousel and Linda said to go for it. Once she finishes the actual horse itself I will add in an appropriate background.

This is a bit of a challenge to do and not nearly as easy to do as straight cuts but Betty learned the technique and knocked out 3 of them within two classes.<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqG0ZugFpJGf8yZS8GEfypSszcG1kY6u0QrcvhgfGx76Mx5rgW5fW2375ZX6R-KGcugsC4dQXcIVblgABsDhoeUByiwnbQdOzQcvrfwmZg-EaaXmwGFpI_6TMRuzKSSO36DCzScyULbSgtpvsgl3Q9rjZ_KJwyqouH2fAMhwwe07N8N-6xTHNkU7SGqeIs/s400/betty_gF.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="358" data-original-width="400" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqG0ZugFpJGf8yZS8GEfypSszcG1kY6u0QrcvhgfGx76Mx5rgW5fW2375ZX6R-KGcugsC4dQXcIVblgABsDhoeUByiwnbQdOzQcvrfwmZg-EaaXmwGFpI_6TMRuzKSSO36DCzScyULbSgtpvsgl3Q9rjZ_KJwyqouH2fAMhwwe07N8N-6xTHNkU7SGqeIs/s320/betty_gF.png" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Linda L, in a bizarre coincidence, came into her class with an etched Beveled panel herself!

Since this is a 25th Anniversary present Linda decided to leave the lead silver to 'match' the silver anniversary and her use of silver Van Gogh glass is perfect.

Rather than making each feather out of one color she's picked two different shades of the same color and mixed them up throughout the feather. And even better yet, she changed the pattern of the mixed up pieces between all of the feathers. It sounds simple but too many students lack the nerve to change what they've already seen done and just follow suit.

To insure a uniformed 'flow' she changed the grain of the final border so that it all runs across from left to right on both the top and bottom of the window as well as the left and right sides. Although this goes against the general rule of border grain, it makes the beveled border appear to be inset with in the background.

It's a great effect which anchors onto the sled in a very sturdy manor due to the curved right end reaching upward and connecting onto the front of the sleigh. Without that connection the runners would easily bend off. Hinge points can be hard to counter but this pattern provides a simple solution to a common problem. As she was leaving Susan told me that she would be adding some wire work to further accessorize her sleigh when she got home. <br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk6wqxCOVzh4tkN9KtfPiIIhciwcQ-P41SXZ8GBOGbFiBwKmR9VclOBNlR02iC3Hie94Z0CzKXiG_n1BBdA_uOvJTXx9zGREyURzrWu2e-ys_1WEYnYTDt1YUEuLf4tZFw6Wp2MSbL_ItlDRGm-XrHf0u3FqNQx4I-b4pZR5mbA0mjanqHsEgFFVww_wnM/s400/susan_dF2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="303" data-original-width="400" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk6wqxCOVzh4tkN9KtfPiIIhciwcQ-P41SXZ8GBOGbFiBwKmR9VclOBNlR02iC3Hie94Z0CzKXiG_n1BBdA_uOvJTXx9zGREyURzrWu2e-ys_1WEYnYTDt1YUEuLf4tZFw6Wp2MSbL_ItlDRGm-XrHf0u3FqNQx4I-b4pZR5mbA0mjanqHsEgFFVww_wnM/s320/susan_dF2.png" width="320" /></a> <br /></p><p>Cindy is wowing everyone with her patternless Bowl that she finished this week.

By the time class ended she was already 15 minutes on her way home with these two delightful stained glass creations. She decided not to put a border on her small Tulip panel and added a brass channel and some hooks to the background glass instead of a border. Since this only measures seven inches high the hooks will easily support and stay secured to the panel.

Why? Well, it really helps to hide the lead lines that fall within the black background glass and it is also a GREAT choice for anything Logo or Cartoon related since both are traced out with black lines whenever you see them.

It just goes to show you that you can't trust glass when it is laying on a table. To get the true color you MUST hold it up to see some light behind it.

Without the bracing the wings and the body would certainly pull apart from each other just by their weight alone but we've added a wire-like metal called Re Strip (or Flex Bar) between the pieces of glass where the green lines indicate. These prevent the wings from 'folding' along the body and pulling loose. These 'wires' are between the glass and invisible once solder is applied. The purple line that travels along the bottom half of the body is a thin wire that prevents the body that pokes out below the wings from bending. All in all Kerry has a very stable Suncatcher! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnABW12QWszzaUL1bx5zAK9fz-ubtOfoabDxXY5RYJazuj-ScvcL8FXZ0iODBbY3CNXOoIAfd4vIBJSy3RX1zQCkp3t7KoDr0xCyqBYFUaDkE41hea5RzJeRnt_h3Hem2BFRa3uRN4Pkcchpzs64FiIWGcs-pa-l7m1r2mMeNmOe-Q3Ye1JIJuYLB1cnCy/s400/wires.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnABW12QWszzaUL1bx5zAK9fz-ubtOfoabDxXY5RYJazuj-ScvcL8FXZ0iODBbY3CNXOoIAfd4vIBJSy3RX1zQCkp3t7KoDr0xCyqBYFUaDkE41hea5RzJeRnt_h3Hem2BFRa3uRN4Pkcchpzs64FiIWGcs-pa-l7m1r2mMeNmOe-Q3Ye1JIJuYLB1cnCy/s16000/wires.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And that as they say is that!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Paul</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.bsgw.biz">Bayou Salé GlassWorks </a></div><p></p>Bayou Salé GlassWorkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11031207797480244547noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945041005612695170.post-86430357464342628722023-11-06T21:32:00.002-06:002023-11-06T21:32:18.131-06:00Luscious Locks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I made this Fleur De Lis Window a while back and wanted to explain my color choices. First, instead of making the FDL in one single (boring) color I went three different shades of Amber. Why? Well, when a the subject matter is broken up into pieces to resemble a 3D subject you want to apply some shading to it. I used my darkest amber glass as an accent color which separate the other two ambers from ever touching the same color. Next I used the 'every other piece' method to determine which of the other two colors went in the remaining spaces. I specifically didn't want the colors to be symmetrical on the right and left sides of the window because I feel that too much alignment is predictable and bland.

To fix this she is making a pair of rectangular 'boxes' that the feet of TV will rest on thus providing the extra 2 and a half inches required for the DVR to fit nicely under the television (and somewhat out of sight) while still being functional.

We've managed to teach her NOT to use very expensive glass for small pieces since it will invariably raise the price of the finished piece. Everyone looks for a good bargain at shows which means keeping your art affordable and (even more importantly) price appropriate for the size of the finished piece. It's never fun to have to keep explaining that your 8x8 panel is $100 because of the glass that was used in it. Most people are looking at the scenery rather than the glass itself. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP4Z71U5wCx50UA_KwB2lRMm8BccW_qjikLqlGj4fHeuwVdKGbxO3M2xJ97wOW-Sl7OFjMKWzGCSTx46JTeK7Y4M-aedib-6S4VqsgNQ1Jdkob_4MHwEo32LYvogXsg3nSPX3rO4rSJFT-HAyWZ401ONXsF4Y0Lx2stxFVo2Msvb7IyOLjJMpOt_jseAxI/s400/barbara_h.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="226" data-original-width="400" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP4Z71U5wCx50UA_KwB2lRMm8BccW_qjikLqlGj4fHeuwVdKGbxO3M2xJ97wOW-Sl7OFjMKWzGCSTx46JTeK7Y4M-aedib-6S4VqsgNQ1Jdkob_4MHwEo32LYvogXsg3nSPX3rO4rSJFT-HAyWZ401ONXsF4Y0Lx2stxFVo2Msvb7IyOLjJMpOt_jseAxI/w200-h113/barbara_h.jpg" width="200" /> </a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Linda F so very nearly completed her own version of the Halloween Pumpkin Window that it was a shame to let it walk out the door uncolored and washed.
