Progress so far:
This morning I sat on the couch for 2 hours watching “Hoarders” [one of my favorite shows] and foiling the edges of the 27 stained glass circles I cut yesterday. It takes a while but is always satisfying when it’s done:
Then I headed up to the girl cave to my stained glass workshop. I opened 2 windows, turned the ceiling fan on, and got ready to solder. First step was putting on my respirator. Then painting on some flux and soldering the foil edges:
Once each side was done I rolled them along my desk like little wheels and soldered the edges:
Here’s what happens when 2 circles are next to each other and accidentally get bumped while soldering – they fuse together! I had to heat up the solder and gently pry them back apart:
Then I washed the circles in the sink with a soapy sponge to get rid of the excess flux and solder:
Now they’re ready to solder together into frames! Maybe this week I’ll have time, although with the Holiday it’s doubtful.
Schöne Farben.
I must start a new project . I dont have a plan yet.

Ich liebe die Farben!
you will think of a plan, you are so talented!
ich vermisse dich!
Hoarders is so horrifyingly delightful to watch. It is a good way to motivate yourself to get things done, or at least it always works for me. I love your stained glass.
Exactly! “Horrifyingly delightful” should be their tag line!!!
Such patient work — love extravagant multiples of anything. Jo @ Let’s Face the Music
Thanks, Jo! I love circles.
Can’t wait to see the results! I love your circle design. I like watching Hoarders, too … until I go up in our attic and realize it’s about us.
HA HA HA!!! i’m sure your attic looks like almost everyone’s 🙂
And thanks!
So interesting to follow your work in progress! Love your colors!
Thanks!
