Hit The Ground Running!

This week, Jeanne and I had a morning business meeting and an evening review each day. They got less packed as time went on because we often covered the same types of issues.

I discovered that I haven't posted student information for about 2 1/2 years, so much is out of date and I've had a lot to go through. This means we haven't been getting in touch with students as well as we should.

I worked on 8 frames for mosaics for several hours on 3 days and finally got them completed so Jeanne could get them done in time for tonight's show at The A Frame. Just need to put hangers on several pieces to be ready.

I enjoy the time we spend together working on glass and related projects. We've gotten about half of Jeanne's on-line class on how to make the July Star Project complete. It's fun because we get to use many of the skills we love and are interested in.

Jeanne can work from sunup to sundown daily. I'm having a hard time keeping up with her. It's rewarding to work towards common goals everyday.

Great Fun with Stained Glass

I posted a Youtube video and recently re-posted it with higher resolution and I did the anti-shake option so it's easier to watch.

This year has been one of great success so far. We finished "The Dance Of Life" and did some panels for a designer in Salt Lake.

Here is a view of those windows from inside her design studio. They are very big, we had Glass Doctor in Springville install them. Candace says the only problem with them is that they get so much attention that her clients can't take their eyes off of them to look at items in the design studio!

Then, Candace had us build a Grand Entry for a home north of the capital in Salt Lake City. Never one to make things easy for us, we had to have it built and installed in a month!

It turned out great!

We are currently frantically finishing up 6 more smaller projects so we can build Christmas gift type items.

We have nearly finished teaching the Living Social Star classes we had scheduled and the Amazon local ones will expire in November so that constant barrage of classes will come to an end.!

We couldn't be happier with the way things are going!

Spring Cleaning

BEFORE

It happens every year, when Spring starts to arrive Jeanne and I both get an urge to clean out the cobwebs, finish old projects and put a fresh look on our studio. This year, things got started early because the weather warmed up and Jeanne visited another artists studio and got inspired.

AFTER

Shop tables are a little cluttered in this photo, but just because we're building a new woman of faith panel.

Now the shelves are painted, so is the scrap glass rack, and we added black bins for storage and a new filing cabinet to replace some that were breaking up. I finally covered the electric outlets that were just bare bulbs with new lamp shades that work well. The studio has a clean, warm feel to it. (Not shown is the drywall repair to a ceiling area that leaked before the new shingles went on and the painted underside of ceiling storage racks that really makes things look finished).
