Decided to tweak the design a bit and make a second Glasgow rose. Moved a couple of lines. The bottom leaves made the panel weak in one area. I moved the bottom right slightly to the left and made the roses different colours.<br />
<br />
Here's the revised pattern with the roses cut out<br />

Quite a few years ago I made a large sun and moon piece. It was a pattern from <a href="http://www.panedexpressions.com/stained-glass/stained-glass-fun-hobby.html">Paned Expressions Studios</a> called "Summer's End". It had a large triple border and is quite a nice piece. It was, however, 2.5 feet square. It ended up with my brother. I always liked the sun and moon medallion in the piece and decided to make a smaller version with one layer of blue around the sun and moon medallion. Without the additional border the piece is 15 inches round.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos from beginning to end. The lower portion of the moon is gray as I was trying to give him a beard.<br />

I went to my local stained glass store, <a href="http://www.cranberrystainedglass.com/">Cranberry Stained Glass</a>, and borrowed their came bender to bend a 1/2" piece of zinc came around the panel. 1/2" took a bit more effort to bend, but I think the result was worth it.<br />

I finally picked up my cutter again after a long hiatus. I had no reason for not working on my stained glass, it just fell out of favor.<br />
<br />
A friend of mine at work and got talking about designs one day and she led me to Charles Rennie MacIntosh (1868 - 1928) who was well know for his use of the <a href="http://www.artscrafts.org.uk/branches/glasgow.html" rel="nofollow">Glasgow Rose</a>. I went on line looked at the rose patterns and from the volume of work out there came up with my first pattern.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwuTlIYLE0W4Kmxu5a9ya-2qnE9vidWG9ePwdPoxjYagWNtvI7mRwHpS03HT8zpY97bUuG5dgYRjwsFEFGIPyYGF4MiRDD4E4GPvaQdOd_alcgphDANd66k0r4BC5npGc4i9vaorQnmcc9/s1600/Glasgow+Rose0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="670" data-original-width="1048" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwuTlIYLE0W4Kmxu5a9ya-2qnE9vidWG9ePwdPoxjYagWNtvI7mRwHpS03HT8zpY97bUuG5dgYRjwsFEFGIPyYGF4MiRDD4E4GPvaQdOd_alcgphDANd66k0r4BC5npGc4i9vaorQnmcc9/s320/Glasgow+Rose0.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
That was it. I printed out the pattern, Sandi put it on the wall in her work station and we went back to work. A few weeks later I was out in my garage cleaning up a bit, looked at my tools and decided I really needed some glass cutting therapy, but what to do? The Glasgow Rose. But I looked at it and realized I had crazy lines, and too much stuff happening on the pattern. I needed simple lines and a cleaner design that focused on the roses.<br />
<br />
The final version of the pattern you see here went through a number of iterations as I could not get the leaves right. Several critiques from work mates set me straight :-)<br />
<br />

<br />
The next weekend I set to work on my pattern. I decided to try two tone roses. Dark on the outside and light in the interior. I tried to get creative and mix the interior with random dark pieces. It didn't appeal to me<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I replaced them with a solid interior, which looked much better. Work progressed over a couple of weekends. I would cut a few pieces here and there until I completed the pattern. </div>

I used copper backed foil as I expected to patina this one in copper. All that's left is to patina it and frame it.<br />
<br />
and then I broke it. While washing it in the laundry tub it slipped from my hand and dropped. There was enough flex in the frame or something that the largest piece cracked in two. Needless to say I was a bit frustrated.<br />

I really did not want to take it apart. I went to a stained glass group I am subscribed to and one recommendation was for me to fix it by foiling over the crack. It was in a spot that actually looked like it could be part of the design. </div>

One of my favorite pieces designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is the Lake Geneva Tulip.<br />
<br />
It is from a resort hotel overlooking Lake Geneva in Wisconsin, The hotel was designed by Wright in 1911. Full details: <a href="http://www.steinerag.com/flw/Artifact%20Pages/PhRtS171.htm">http://www.steinerag.com/flw/Artifact%20Pages/PhRtS171.htm</a><br />
<br />
It's gone now, but one of the design elements of the hotel were the windows which had a "Tulip" theme. Wright named the design "Tulip" because of the flower shape pattern in the cente<br />
<br />

<br />
While I can see the tulip, which is in line with Wright's philosophy and his connection with Nature, I also see wings. With a little colour change I have a new piece I call the Pheonix<br />
<br />

<br />
-------------------------------------<br />
<br />
I transferred the design to paper using Visio. My original intent was this piece was going to be a leaded glass window so cut the glass with this in mind. I had some nice red glass left over from a previous project and decided to use it. It makes this piece look more like a phoenix than a tulip and I am okay with that :)<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started leading the piece and ran into the pattern "growing" with each piece of lead added. I need to figure out where I went wrong with the cutting. So instead of fighting with it I switched to foil. Given the switch was relatively straight forward I'm pretty sure I know where I went wrong. I also decided to add a bit more colour to the center. I need to work on my smaller cuts. I got a little impatient here.</div>

<br />
Once foiled I set to work on soldering. I chose copper backed foil as I intended to use a copper patina on the piece. Soldering went okay, though a bit messy in the center. It's a hobby so flaws are good right ?<br />

I had some left over cherry from another project and just enough to frame it. I guess you could say this project was made from the scraps of other projects. From the ashes a new piece is created<br />

The plan is to use a combination of lead and copper foil to complete this one. I like how the white looks now. It will be very different once the lead/foil are in place.<br />
<br />
More to come later this month.<br />

I made some progress this weekend on leading the panel. Originally I started with a thicker lead came, but it overpowered the piece so I went to a smaller came. It was definitely the right choice.<br />

I'll probably putter at this one for a couple of weeks. It will be important to get the lines right.<br />

This is a pattern from Chantal Stained glass patterns (<a href="http://free-stainedglasspatterns.com/1set22.html">http://free-stainedglasspatterns.com/1set22.html</a>)<br />
and is called "walk to me". I did use the full pattern and centered it to fit a specific size. Very colorful.<br />
<br />
It will be leaded with a nice flat came to match the geometric nature of the panel. I'll post a picture once it is complete.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I finally finished my winter project. A little late, but I didn't feel like hanging out in the garage this winter. Each panel is ~6" square. The panels are framed in cherry and attached together with brass hooks. They are intended to be hung in this sequence. The line flows from the top to the bottom and the leaves finally drop to one. If desired they be detached from each other to be hung separately. -T</div>

I've completed the glass cutting and foiling for the fall leaves project. Normally I work in lead. However, I want to patina this panel in copper and I'm a little concerned the inside cuts might be too tight for lead. </div>

I know it's a little late for fall leaves, but I'm going to be making this piece to test out the capabilities of my new Taurus III ring saw. It's a small piece and has some really great curves. The piece on the right side of the panel will be the most difficult. I can't think of a better way to try out the saw :)</div>

The base of the unit is interesting. It is wedge shaped to accommodate a 3/4 " slope in the floor (back to front). Kenny took this shot to show that it's completely level. :) </div>

It's a storage unit / wine rack that will be installed in my brother's restaurant. We needed to maximize the wine bottle space in the upper compartments. While the x-bracing you often see in wine racks would have been nice, it wastes space in the corners (or appeared to) so we decided to go with cubbies. The unit is 45" wide and 7' 81/2" when it is sitting on its base (not shown)<br />

The top secures to the bottom using Chicago screws. These are turned brass bolts for knock-down use or for their traditional use in binding. As I am "binding" the top to the bottom, these screws are an excellent choice. Solid brass they will not rust so a great choice given this unit will see some water/wine.<br />

Here's some action shots of the unit in progress. I didn't bring my camera out early enough for the initial pictures. It is made with birch plywood and joined together using dado joints and biscuits. The only nails used in this piece were to secure the back panel to the unit and to tack the trim pieces on.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">I got tired of piling glass like stacks of paper and having my supplies spread around my workshop. So I decided to build a storage unit for my glass. I'm about 70% there. The bottom part is for glass and the top for tools, solder, etc. I'm going to put doors on the top at both ends and leave the center section open.</span>

The unit is made from 3/4 plywood, rabbit joints at the corners and the main bracing is dadoed. It is very solid and I believe a cleat is all that is necessary to hang it. If it isn't it will be braced from the bottom as well. Time will tell.</span></div>

There are ten "mini" panels within this complete transom. I've leaded two of ten so far. This is going to take a few hours :-)<br />
