New project

The new year brought a new office in an old day job. Not a choice, but a necessity due to fire damage in an old building that housed my old office. Arg. The new office is a much smaller space with no windows to the outside and it has a door window into a very public hall. I have designed a stained glass piece that will cover this door window and still allow light through.

Light, but not a full view of me working.

I also wanted to use these fused circles that I made a long time ago.

I have worked this weekend on getting it soldered.

My next challenge will be how to get it to stay securely in place without damaging the office door.

new projects

A few new projects in the works -

I have decided that I need to keep my soldering skills honed otherwise when I do a stained glass project the re-learning time kills the project and my creativeness (is that a word?).

Therefore I need solder more than once every 4 years.    :-)

I fused some flowers in clear glass squares for the center pieces in this stained glass panel. I am in the process of designing the panel. I hope the idea in my head - makes it to paper and then glass.

 

In the kiln now is a fuchsia colored square dish that is slumping. I used some subtle iridescent glass elements. I hope this mold that I am slumping over works; I will know in a few short hours.

I am enjoying time for creating glass today. Happy Saturday!

Almost done with this piece -

Almost done with the stained glass piece with bevels.

I just need to clean up my solder. I haven't soldered for months and this is one skill that if you don't use, you lose. I really had a hard time getting my solder to flow the way that I wanted it to.

I like how the piece is turning out. I can't wait to see it hanging in the front window.
