Happy Friday ...it is finally here...

Another exciting yet crazy week is complete ...and I am staying away from the studio this weekend....Yesterday was a really good day...completed the Signage for "The Bureau of Land Management" Washington State...very very exciting...it is actually the first glass sign that I have ever produced.  Nice.  All of the glass used was brought up from the States for this panel...all Kokomo and Spectrum System 96.  The reason I went with the fusible glass even though this was not a fused project was simply "color saturation."  In fact I think I will start using fusible for many of my stained glass panels where color is needed...the fusible lines of glass are rich in color intensity only comparable to the antiques in my opinion. (And this has nothing to do with my newly purchased kiln...well not much :)   So here is a picture of the completed panel... although the patina is not applied yet nor is it poilished..."rough and in the buff."  On the same table you can see a door lite for a house in downtown Toronto.  The door lite was actually installed today (Friday) by Whalerjack Design and Construction.  Greatly appreciated too!
