Other things we have worked on.

Here are some pieces that my wife and mysel have worked on.  She is catching on too.  We are hooked on glass.

Finished up with WV piece

Here is a finished piece

Very proud with myself.  Very impressed with all the other teacher's projects.

Progress of WV themed piece.

Here is part of the semi finished project compared to the beginning picture.

West Virginia theme coming together

The WV themed project is coming together.  Hopefully, by next week I can have all pieces cut and start to foil the pieces.  I am very impressed with the other teacher's pieces.  I am thankful for being around all of these wonderful teachers and the interactions that we have together.  

West Virginia themed glass project begins

Looking over some of the templates that other teachers have drawn for this project, I am anxious to see how everything turns out for everyone.

For my project I am using a picture that I took at Blackwater Fall in early summer.  I sketched it out and added some color to get a feel for different colors I would need.  I traced a copy of my template on sketch paper so I can cut out each piece.  Unlike the first project the glass I will be using for this project is more opaque and difficult to the pattern through it.

 This is initial sketch for my project.  I did add some straight line to create smaller pieces to deal with.

Then after redrawing it I numbered my pieces, only 34 pieces for this one.

Then started to cut out my traced template, will begin to cut glass next Wednesday.

West Virginia theme

After thinking of what I could do for this piece I decided to have my hand at Blackwater Falls in Canaan Valley.  Will try to sketch this out for Wednesday afternoon.  On top of it all this is a picture that I took myself.  Will have to find just the right glass for the water coming over the falls.

 

Finished with first project! :)

First project is finished.  Happy for how the colors work together.
