Seashell Stained Glass

Work has finally begun on the Seashell Project -- a 22" x 8" piece for Aunt C. At this writing I have 2.5 pieces cut and wow, it's tougher than I thought -- the design I thought I nailed but you really don't realize how tight a curve is until you cut it in glass and try to fit lead around it! Plus I'm using a very narrow 1/8 lead to my cuts have to be spot on (I hope). So off we go, here's what it looks like.

Cutting starts from the lower left. I'm on the piece that is second in from the left along the bottom.

Shed Window Project

Along with “the first Frank” will go this piece, the second in an unmatching series of three. This design I made up, reminded of the color squares I see a lot in the windows of homes up in mountain towns like Silverton and Ouray. These are pretty much practice pieces for cutting and soldering since I've been away from it for a while.
