A Work in Progress


With sub-zero temperatures today and wind chill temps at 40 to 45 below zero, I hunkered down and stayed home. This gave me some long overdue time to do some laundry (yuk) and work on stained glass. About two weeks ago I traced the pattern for this piece onto the glass but then found myself way too busy to continue working on it. This afternoon I cut and ground the 24 pieces of glass. The next step is to wrap each piece with copper foil and then solder the whole thing together, adding a zinc border along the way. The eye of the fish will be made using either solder or paint - I haven't decided which yet. When finished, this piece will be given as a gift.
