Stained Glass Project Yeehaw!
Well, this has been quite a project! In January I decided to take the stained glass class course here at Voyager and made a little project; the sunset previously posted on this blog. Then I had an idea to make a sign out of stained glass. I had seen them before but I didn't realize how challenging this could be for a beginner. Lettering in stained glass is quite a feat!
Thanks to some very experienced and kind people here I was able to make this beautiful sign to put in front of our RV or in our window at home. I am so thankful for Mary in particular. She is from Michigan but has a Park Model home here. I heard through the stained glass grape vine that she had a sign so I biked over and knocked on her door. She helped me design this one based on a golf pattern but with her and my ideas for the rest. Mary would be my Mum's age if she was alive and what a sweetheart.
The sign will have a wrought iron frame yet to be purchased. I have a line on that. Unfortunately there is a small crack in the sky and I have no idea how it happened. I could fix it here but we are nearly out of time so I will take it home and maybe get help from "The Glass Hummingbird" store in Ripley to fix it. Or it will wait until I get back here next year.
We plan to come back here in November and then to Florida in the spring. We are on the verge of a huge road trip but a few things are up in the air so I will post the details soon.
