SOLDERING WITH WILMA

 

Hello my friends! Oh how the time flies during the Autumn months. It always amazes me. Here is my latest update on Adam and Eve. This panel is read to be soldered and I will be starting that process in the next couple of days. As a side note, I've decided to dress as Wilma Flintstone for All Hallow's Eve. WHY???? I found a kickin dress at Goodwill for under $5.00! LOL So, in these hard economic times, hey, whatever works. Right? LIFT UP YOUR ART! Laurie B.

A THE BEAT GOES ON "BADA-BUMP"

Good Morning friends! Ah, as my current client said, "Oh Laurie, haven't you learned by now that life always gets in the way of living!" Wiser words were never spoken! A big shout out thank you to Sharon, the most patient client I have had to-date! Here are photos of the current Adam N Eve panel, ready for foiling. Being in "transition" has been a real challenge (time management!) but a welcome one. Progress is being made so incredibly fast on my stained glass studio! I am truly "living the dream"! Autumn is upon us here in Northern Illinois. Firewood was delivered yesterday and is stacked snugly in the garage. The leaves are falling fast and furious and today is a MOST precious "Indian Summer" day. I am relishing every moment of it. Lovely warmth and sunshine, leaves rustling, pine trees waving hello to the sun, and little chipmunks running around with nut-stuffed cheeks! It just doesn't get any better than this in my book! I hope wherever you are you are able to connect with nature on some level today. Sending out warm Autumn wishes! LIFT UP YOUR ART, Laurie B.

AUTUMN APPLE ABUNDANCE!

PIECING IT ALL TOGETHER

Hello friends, This has been a very sad day for me on several levels. I found out this morning that an old friend of mine from high school lost his battle with cancer at 4 a.m. this morning. He fought long and hard and will be missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers for peace go out to his wife and children. I then helped a friend take his dog to be put down. Alex, a sweet sweet dog, was, "113". It was time. Regardless of the happy and long life he lived, saying goodbye to a friend and kind soul is never easy. The photos I am posting here tonight are photos taken of the progress I made yesterday on the Adam and Eve panel. I should have this ready to be copper foiled by the end of the day tomorrow and will share the process with you along the way. Give those you love a big hug and kiss this evening. With gratitude for it all, Laurie B.

TEMPORARY DIGS

Good Morning Friends,
Here's hoping you have sunshine where ever you are today. It's gloomy here in Northern Illinois! I wanted to share a couple of photos of where I've been keeping myself recently. I'm making great progress on "Adam And Eve" and hope to have this piece foiled and ready for soldering by the middle of the week. My temporary digs are working out just fine and I am thankful. Lift up YOUR art! Laurie B.
