Window Progress

Despite still feeling pretty lousy...I have been plugging away in the basement a little every day and I have all the glass cut for the window project.  I'm going to let it sit a few days and see if I want to make any changes....then check all my seams and wipe down the edges.





The next step is wrapping all the edges in copper foil tape....then soldering.  It's quite a process.
I took a picture of it upside down....that gives me a different perspective on the balance.  I kind of like it upside down...hmm.




This was a tricky piece to cut....inside curves are tough.  You score the line then tap tap tap and hope for the best.  Sometimes a crack goes off in the wrong direction...rather than following the curve.  It worked out this time....I had one piece of this daisy glass...so I would have been sad if it cracked the wrong way.





I always make a big mess at almost everything I do....and when working with glass there's usually blood.  Too much information?



I could really use a personal assistant to follow behind me and put things away.  I often work on top of the mess and just make bigger messes.

  1. ouch MaryAnn! Just shy of TMI, but I certainly understand the inevitability of art injuries. We all must suffer for our art I guess! Good looking glass window too. You have so many amazing talents.
