Let has completed her Double Humming Bird Window and I have to say her work just keeps getting better and better. Apparently I had my flash on when I took the picture because this really doesn't show how nicely the colors contrast with the clear textured glass that surrounds everything. My bad, but it still looks GREAT!
Susan R finished up all of the work on her LSU Plaque and then decided to color the lead black rather than copper. It was a bold choice but everyone in class agreed that it was the best choice. The white background glass that Susan used is almost always a perfect fit with black patina and this was no exception.
Mary Grace got another frame finished this week and it's safe to say that she's definitely on a roll with these.
Betty has three more Cardinals finished but I only took a picture of two of them because, well, they're all identical due to Betty's artistical prowess.
Susan D managed to foil all of the background pieces that she cut last week and then after tacking them together she was also able to get the remaining pieces of the background drawn out onto glass and then separated. She still has a bit of cutting to do but by and large the hardest part of this window is now thoroughly behind her.
Paula's GTO is all tacked together and she's taken some white enamel home with her to paint the G T O letters onto a piece of black glass so it can be fired in the kiln and then cut into the front of the car. Be sure to check out those hubcaps when you enlarge this image-- the wire work that she's employed to define each of the pieces is incredible!
Zoe's Mary and Child Suncatcher was foiled and tacked together this week which means that Zoe only has a little bit of soldering to go before she completes this.
Linda now has her Beveled Christmas Tree Window all soldered which means that she's going to be ready to add some channel and then some hooks to hang this from when she comes back in. After that we'll get to see what she's be working on next, but not until she finishes this off.
Linda F has her final Christmas Ornament (of this batch) all ground and ready to be foiled. This is another project that I believe we'll see this completed upon her return.
Let's Luna Moth is just about ready for foiling. She still needs to cut out the background but that's only seven pieces of glass which I'm certain that Let will handle while she's at home during the week. The end is near here.
Bee has all of her Peacock cut out and has decided to make it into a window after all. Her colors are off the chart in such a wonderful way. I've always wanted to make a peacock out of ambers, golds and yellows but wow, Bee's fiery color scheme make this peacock almost Phoenix like.
Shelley Cats will also surely be completed upon her return now that she has the front side soldered as well as most of the back side. There's a little whisker wire work to do on this but that will go by quickly enough.
Things are filling in here and before you know it Annette is going to have people in the bleachers of the stadium behind her roaring tiger. She said that she wants to put a special border around this so I'm sure that she will put at least a double border on it. That said, we'll play around with ideas and see if we can't come up with something to possibly tip the border towards unusual but stunning.
June's Multi Colored Cat has more multi colored pieces cut out this week. She's steadily filling this in week by week. Everyone is commenting throughout all the glasses about how wonderful the eyes are and I agree.
Melissa was having trouble cutting her background glass at first but now she's flying through it at an amazing rate of speed. She's almost got everything filled in already so a border is on the fast approaching horizon!!
Judy's got another two more Crosses cut and ground which means that she could very well have these completed when she comes back in.
Cindy has all of one of her Circular Flowers completely cut out and then spend time on getting a second one up to the same progress point. It won't be long until we see these as a completed pair.
Martha's beach scene was THIS close to getting a border cut for it. The only thing that prevented the border from being cut was time. It's officially safe to say that all of the hard work is being her now that everything in the scene itself has been tacked together.
Cheryl's got most of her Mr. Bingle Panel cut out and will surely finish the few remaining pieces when she returns. Once they are cut she'll move on over to the grinder to make things fit together in perfect unison.
As you can tell by the numbers in the picture, Kandise has flipped her window over and is well on the way to finishing up the soldering on the back side of it. Let's face it, Kandise is going to need to come up with a new project next week!
Sheri is working on a pair of Rose Suncatchers and she only has to cut the green leaves for the yellow rose before she can begin to grind these pieces to form a lovely pair.
And here's a look at how far Mary Grace is along on her next Mardi Gras themed Frame. A final border is next to come.
And that's what we call a wrap!
