color my world


Even though I am still nursing my snowboarding aches, I had quite the productive weekend. Not only did I go to a great small business workshop, but I finished my window too.

As you remember, she started like this....

and became this.

I was going to do them all different colors, but really liked the way to 2 bigger panels looked in the coordinating pale blue. I little more tied together. Provides privacy, but still lets thru some great light.

I was planning on suspending it from the kitchen window.... but, I took these photos in the hall and living room windows, and it looks pretty cool there too. I'll just have to make more.

And, because I had all those scraps of glass out and my glorious tool, I was able to whip this door out as well.

I picked it up in MN, at the awesome Junk Market sale from Kim, when it looked like this.

Chances are I will be selling it at my next fair, but for now, it still needs to be treated and glazed before it goes home with a customer. Although in the same color family, the panels all have different grains and textures, which plays well off the simple weathered white paint. It is very groovy and not just because of the tie-dyesque glass.

Busy week ahead too....finishing up the Dream Desk, or at least putting in some good quality time on it. I still have a good 2-3 weeks before I deliver it.

AH! That turned out so good! And that door?! Super cool. I've been meaning to get some of those pliers and I forget to pick them up every time I'm at the hardware store. I want to do mirrors.
