I had a fun day today, an old roommate from years ago dropped me a line on facebook about my stained glass. Turns out one of her university classes is an art program, she has her BA and is back in school for her BEd, and she needs to do a focus on an art/artist and actually make something in the medium. Happy to help, plus I haven't seen her in years so it was a chance to play catch up, I had her over this afternoon for a mini art lesson, she's also coming back to work on the project on Monday. It was
really strange to talk someone through it and especially with an hours notice *lol. So cleared my work table in a hurry and even faster drew up a design for her to work with........ um yeah, maybe not *lol. Turns out the first design was a bit too aggressive and had to redraw a super simple something else on the fly
, I totally forgot what it was like to try to cut glass from the beginning, not even knowing how to work with the glass and cutter to start and in a way it felt great!!! I've been patiently working along looking forward to the distant time when some things would just flow naturally and in all that it was easy to forget what I have learned! Wow, what great food for thought! Anyways, so stepping down off my high horse *
*, I gave her some books to browse through and rated them in which to start just to give her a more thourough idea on the glass work. She's coming back in a few days to finish her piece and then I will be more prepared for her questions *lol!
