Life's A Big Orgy

Cindy's Golfer Window is complete and on par with the best of any golf window that I've ever seen.   I'd even consider it to be a hole in one! 

 

 

 

Linda L's Fractured Background is a multi-colored delight. The bevel in the center proudly displays a Mantra worth living by and her work on this was top notch. I know she said that she really wasn't into making this but I saw her smile when it hanging up with some back light behind it.

 

 

Lorrie's Birds on a Wire are 100% finished and they are a striking piece of stained glass. You can never lose with this design (or similar birds strung together) but people rarely notice just how much work is involved. Cout those pieces and be impressed.

Lorrie also made this Large Flower suncatcher with the help of her daughter and she really liked the assembly line that the two of them formed while making this. I think we can all agree that it paid off handsomely!

 

Let completed her Flower and Ribbon teardrop suncatcher with ease. We can almost always count on seeing a finished piece of stained glass by Let because it's practically a weekly occurrence.

 

Betty's first Toy Solder looks marvelous and she really did a bang up job on all aspects of creating him.  Her only problem is determining which is the front of the soldier and which is the back but you know what?  It really doesn't matter since she won't have any control as to how it is hung/hanged after it is purchased.

 

 

Paula was kind enough to send me a picture of her completed Ironman Suncatcher.  I do believe that Tony Start would be quite proud of the work Paula did on his new Armor! 

 

Judy has begun working on a large Teepee Suncatcher.  Or is it a wigwam?   This is something I'll have to look up. It's a Teepee!  FYI, a wigwam is a rounded or oval-shaped Native American dwelling made of poles covered with bark or mats, while a teepee is a conical tent made from animal skins over a frame of long poles. 

 

 

 

Sheri has the first Alligator Santa started and she almost completely finished him in this class.  Look to see him completed when she comes back in next week.

 

 

Kandise got her Camera all ground and then whisked it home with her where she hopes to foil all of the pieces. She's planning to attach two small chains at the bottom of the camera where a picture frame will hang to give the finished camera a very personal touch. We still haven't figured exactly how to affix a photo into the said frame but I'm currently working it out in my mind. 

 

 

 

Keri's Stitch Suncatcher is all ground as of this class and she's taken him home to hopefully foil so she can tack him together upon her return. If she finds the time to foil these pieces over the holiday weekend I see no reason why this can't be completed in time for our next blog post. Her work as one of our newest students is amazing!

 

 

 

Barbara's small Tiffany styled Flower Panel is just about ready to become a window hanging. After getting her background cut, ground, foiled and tacked together Barbara was able to pick out a border and get that cut and ground as well. Even if she doesn't have the border foiled when she comes back in I can say without a doubt that this will still be completed upon her return.

 

 

 

 

Cindy is working on new Christmas Hearts to end the year. She keeps a detailed log of which teacher has received what Heart in years previous so that the recipients can assemble a complete collection without the fear of receiving repeating hearts.

  

 

MiMi put aside her lamp for a bit while she repairs this 3D Beveled Cross.  Since there wasn't much left of it that hadn't collapsed the best way to fix it was to rip it apart completely and then rebuild it from scratch.  Tonight she disassembled it, washed all of the pieces and now has all of them foiled which means that this will go back together next week.

 

 

 

It's official- Susan R has all of her Autumn Leaf cut and ground!   I know that I've said it before but I'm going to say it again.  I'm proud of her work on this and her drive to see it through.  The rest of the work on this will be child's play for Susan.

 

 

June has almost all of her Multi-colored Cat cut and ground and she even has the head of the cat foiled.   It won't be long now.  I showed her a Multi-colored Dog that I saw on the internet and it turns out that her husband Peter had also shown the dog to her.  She told me the same thing she told him-- "No way".

 

Lastly, Betty also made three more of her Cat Suncatchers which sell as fast as she can make them.  Alas, I didn't get a picture of them.  Also, Lorrie soldered the last three stands for her Oil Kaleidoscopes which means that next week she will begin the final eye pieces for each of the wands.

And that would be all there is that's fit to print this week.

Sayonara!
