The sweet pea window is still half cut (sounds familiar) and still waiting for final dimensions and we have another 2 windows to do after that. Not had time yet to start the "Starry Night" but hope to soon; have another stained glass course to arrange hopefully before the end of Jan and have just picked up a new commission for completion by early Feb.
I received several photos of the (almost) cutest dog on the planet; a very furry little chihuahua. The brief is just to make a really nice sun catcher for a best friend. Not easy this one. The shaggy fur in two very pale shades of brown will be hard to get right, and the whole character is in those big dewy eyes; get that wrong and it will look like a pug. So we decided to lie her on a cushion (that finishes the bottom nicely to fit the stand) and I will paint the eyes and other fine detail in. Did a good sketch of how she will look and rough shapes, then drew my cartoon from that. We have some beautiful wispy semi opaque whites and browns which will make a great background and a stunning deep purple water glass for the cushion.
Probably start cutting glass tomorrow.
