A first attempt at mosaic. My bro had made me this jar so I thought I’d decorate it.

Elk Island for Mother’s Day and the Buffalo are out in force!

While I’m grinding glass, Z is grinding steel. Such a #craftyhousehold Looking forward to my new sailing knife!

Our hike. I call the third pic “Unfinished Business.” Lol.

I’ve been wanting to redo my Instagram username. So I finally settled on naming after our boat (who’s logo is this swan). So it’s now @svneverforever … I think I like that better?

And with that, February is over (thank god) and I can think about some bigger projects. #stainedglass #canislupus #wolf #howl #lastone #challengemyself — Day 28: I’ve only encountered a few #wolves in my life and hope to encounter more.

Day 19: He started out as a Scottish Highland, sort of morphed into a Hereford and ended up just looking cranky. So maybe that makes him a Simmental? - - #stainedglass #suncatcher #cattle #bull #cows #glass #foiledglass #challengemyself — Day 19: He started out as a Scottish Highland, sort of morphed into a Hereford and ended up just looking cranky.

Day 18: Branta canadensis. Slightly stylized but always recognizable. #stainedglass #canadagoose #suncatcher #birds #challengemyself #10daystogo #glassart #copperfoil #original #madeincanada #glass

Day 17: A round votive. I had to make a jig so this took a lot of time but the next one will be faster, neater and easier. Not a bad use of scraps either. #stainedglass #candlelight #3D #tealights #challengemyself

Day 16: Cat-approved cat. A little wire, some foil and voila! #stainedglass #suncatcher #whiskers #challengemyself

Day 15: Playing with foil overlays on this iridescent little fishy. #stainedglass #suncatcher #halfwaythere #challengemyself

Day 14: Happy Valentines! A little lead #suncatcher for my one true love to help mark the day. #stainedglass #heart #challengemyself

Day 12: A bunny for my momma. Easter’s coming eventually so I might as well get in some practice. #stainedglass #rabbits #suncatcher #challengemyself

Day 11: Opuntia. I’ve sat on enough of these in my day. I was a bit rushed so the form is not quite right. #stainedglass #cactus #suncatcher #challengemyself

Day nine: A failure? Pretty enough but there’s no horizontal support & it’s very flimsy. Back to the drawing board. #oops #challengemyself

Day eight: The 2nd of several simple bird designs I am trying. #stainedglass #birds #suncatcher #20daystogo

Day seven: #Owl not be able to do another if I don’t go buy more solder. #stainedglass #suncatcher #birds #challengemyself
