No, no, not me, although I am a work in progress.
I thought I’d post a few pictures of the job we are working on (I’ve talked about it some in these posts: brain block, presentation is everything and art is not pretty). We’re way behind on the job, should have been finished by the end of March, and the bank account is reflecting that so much of my attention these days is focused on getting finished by the end of this month.
There are 14 panels that make up the entry (two doors and the side walls) to the new chapel at John Wesley United Methodist Church. These shots are of the various panels in various stages of completion though none is complete.
on the rack: the panels on the left have the sandblasting done but the stencil tape is still on, the backgrounds will be done with a different technique and will need a second stencil
on the table: cutting the stencil
on the table: the stencil is cut and ready for the blasting
in the booth: carving the glass by sandblasting, the next stage is peeled off

I am intrigued. Your work is beautiful. My husband dabbles in stained glass. This would really interest him......but we have no time for fun here. Spring in a campground is mind-blowingly busy. Thank you for your kind comments on my "crazy" post.
