Thanks everyone. I am tickled too. I am so pleased to have arrived at this point in my glass work
I still feel a bit like I am looking at someone else's work . It's a weird feeling. I remember asking my beginning glass teacher how to paint the hands and faces. She said no one does that any more and no one teaches it. I think that was in spring of 2003, because I was still on a cane and my back surgery was in Oct. I have found she was wrong.
She told me to take a fusing class in 2005 because paint needed to be fired. It took some digging up great teachers like Peter McGrain, Dick Millard, and Vic Rothman, but I think after 7 years and a windy path I have arrived at the starting gate of what I can do with my life.
I home schooled my kids for 10 years and now I realize I homeschooled myself for 7. No wonder I am turning grey fast!
Here is the original sketch. And I thought it looked fun in front of the Spirograph window.
De, I saw that show too. Those men had been studying the shroud for 30 years. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
