Stained Glass Class



Today was mine and Rusty's first day of our stained glass class. We learned how to cut the glass (or break it). One of us (not mentioning which one) didn't do as well as the other. But, I do have to say "that person" had a hard time see the cuts in the glass because of his bifocals until "that person" moved on to the colored glass.
After the practicing, we #'d our patterns and arrowed the direction that our grains will go. Rusty has 55 pieces, and oh my gosh, I had 141 (what was I thinking). He is doing a sea turtle and is using 3 colors, I am doing Koi Fish and goldfish in a pond with a lily flower, using 7 colors.
We go back next Sat. to start cutting our glass, for homework we need to cut out all of our pieces using special scissors that leave a gap in between the cuts. Will try and post pics tomorrow of our patterns.
