Spring is here...time for a change...sidelites..and a few leaded windows...

I began this week cleaning the studio...organizing the tools.. taking inventory...and moving glass into the new glass racks in the back space... The beveller arrived all fixed up.. and so we start...

The first of the family crests is off to a great start with all of the leaf work cut and foiled now...other sections are with my sandblaster having the names blasted into the cathedral glass so I can back paint them... 

Our exciting contemporary project in Oakville has had another adjustment as the sidelites have gone from 76" to 92" in height ..so full scale layout is now complete...and ready to build...

And multiple cabinet inserts have been completed and delivered to their new home..  There just is not enough time in the day...and the days fly by... I cannot believe tomorrow is already Friday again.

Here are a some pictures.. have a great weekend!

Beautiful and amazing artwork for these Family Crests!

This week we will be finishing up final artwork on these Family Crests for a fantastic project.. I am so excited to get started as these crests will utilize much of my glass knowledge and techniques.. sandblasting, back painting, fused glass powder sgrafitto technique, copper foil, and leading..WOW! I am so excited!  Here is the last artwork mock up... we will still be making a few changes... Of course!
