Today I added some detail to the window boxes, which have to be done in layers (layer, wait for mosaic adhesive to dry, another layer, etc).

Artisan Center Handmade Event
I had a great time at today’s SC Artisan Center Handmade event. I met several other local SC artists as well as many visitors to the Center. I made some good progress on my next window, too!
Nov 18 – SC Artisan Center Handmade
Come check out the “Handmade” event tomorrow, Saturday November 18 from 10am – 2pm. SC Artisans will be demonstrating their methods! I will be working on a mosaic window. The address is 318 Wichman Street, Walterboro, SC.
Next Window
I have been procrastinating on my next window project for several months. Initially I had planned on doing a larger version of Charleston’s Rainbow Row, but I wasn’t sure if it would look as good in a larger format than the other panels I’ve made with it in the past. I bought the glass I needed and then started thinking that maybe I should make another sun, or maybe a moon because I have great moon glass and great spooky sky glass.
But this morning I was asked to donate a window to an upcoming charity event and I decided to just go for it with the Rainbow Row. I won’t know how it will look until I do it, so I might as well do it and stop wondering about it. Hopefully having more room will allow me to do more decorating – trees, birds, flowers, bushes, etc. What I have so far is just rough cuts – I still need to finish the first cuts and then use the grinder to smooth / shape everything before I start with the mosaic adhesive on the first layer. I’m not sure if this will end up in the charity event auction or if another window will, but at least my procrastination is over for the time being!
SC Artisans Center Visit
I finally made a visit back to the SC Artisans Center to drop off some more pieces. I dropped off a selection of ornaments / suncatchers, a tabletop Palmetto & Crescent in colors a Clemson fan would appreciate, my “Corner Sun” window and my “Rainbow River” window.
I still have a selection of suncatchers / ornaments and coasters on hand in Charleston, as well as a few larger windows. The larger items currently at the SC Artisans Center include:
“Fireball Sun” Found a Home
This weekend I was notified by the SC Artisans Center that my window, SC Fireball Sun, was purchased and is heading to a new home. It’s exciting to know that it will be loved by someone!
I will need to visit the Artisans Center soon to submit another window and/or smaller pieces for the Center.
