Glass Trailerwhere stained glass art is made

I turned in the first glass piece donation for the Alzheimer’s Auction.  But you know what?  I didn’t have a name for it and they need one.

Can you think of a good one?

I will try and come up with a surprise gift for the best name I receive.

When I got my patterns printed up at the local Staples, I pulled a random one out to work on… I forgot I had already said I’d work on the Celtic knot first.   Oops!

Well the knot will still be done, just as my next project.  For now I’m doing my “Classic Round” pattern.  I did it once before in similar glass, but this time it’s much larger… about 20 or so inches!

Saturday I spent checking out some new stained glass shops.  My first stop was amazing and pretty much turned out to be a warehouse of glass, I found most everything there I could want.  Several hundred dollars later I had the glass I needed for the next several projects!  Not to mention the solder, findings, a new kiln shelf… well everything else I didn’t intend to buy that day!

Today I spent scoring pieces for the Classic Round.  I made pretty good progress in the few hours I was out there watching spongebob on my iPad, lol.  Tomorrow the last row of pieces will be placed and I can begin putting it together.  This, along with the knot and a few others, will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Auction I mentioned in the last post.
