Breaking curves without the schnittys is good practice in patience and listening. Cutting and breaking glass is the 1 time I can't listen to a book or music while working (or it has to be very quiet) because the glass speaks to you, literally.

You are loved. You are love.

Capturing a great love in art is a treasure for all involved.

This couple had the sweetest story, shared with me by their daughter-in-law. They loved competitive swing dancing and dying their hair & beard different colors for events - a sweet and playful tradition now forever captured for their whole family to enjoy as a reminder of grandma & grandpa's love.

What picture would you have made into art? Genuinely curious! I've seen a lot of wedding or engagement photos, but what other moments would you want to be reminded of every day?

Take me back to the river, please.

I should really paint a little bear in the river since it was there for the point of inspiration. Black bear but a little too curious about our boat rolling through it's fishing hole at dusk.

Did it rain? New mushroom plant stakes have popped up at Paint Metal and Mud in downtown Kalispell. *not edible*

Real time soldering snippets using the holy grail of soldering irons, a American Hakko Products FX601 at 410°. A tool and setting I suspect a lot of glass artist would call their "comfort zone", I know I do.

Soldering is so satisfying, watching the lines solidify in front of your eyes. Besides design/glass choice it is my favorite step in the stained glass process. Trying to get it right on pass 1 - sometimes taking a re-flux & 2nd or 3rd pass. Always aiming for a balance of quality & efficiency, but I suppose that applies to every facet of life.

I promise to really show it off tomorrow but sneak refraction peek at the end 😉
