I will wait a few days to give it time to cure before I move it to where I can get a better photograph. Happy 2025!

Finishing the Bridge
I think I finally have the bridge window ready to accept a coat of resin. The last of the sky detail is in place and curing, so as soon as it is dry, the resin layer can be applied.
SC Ornaments
I’ve been having fun making these whimsical Palmetto & Crescent ornaments. I made the molds I’m using and have been decorating the resin with a variety of items / pigments / inks.
SC Artisans Center 11/15/2024
I will be working on finishing the glass / mosaic pieces for this window tomorrow at the SC Artisans Center Handmade event tomorrow from 10am to 1pm. Come check out Walterboro and the Center and say hi!
Latest (Longer) Rainbow Row Done
This weekend I was able to put the finishing touches on my latest, and longest (most houses), Rainbow Row to date. Also I have been working on some smaller palmetto tree suncatchers – I poured a second layer of resin on them today and added wire hangers. Fingers crossed that the resin cures as it is still pretty sticky (I used a different type than I typically use).
Originally I had planned to wrap these suncatchers with copper foil and solder them in a traditional stained glass manner, but after I pulled the tape off from the first layer of resin, I thought it would look better this way. It’s an experiment so I’m not sure it will work, so fingers crossed.
Another RRow Poured
Poured and embellished the resin on this latest Rainbow Row window. While I was at it, I made a couple of palm tree suncatchers, too. I still need to paint the window frame and wrap / solder the suncatchers before they will be completely done. Of note is that I used a 16 ounce kit of Envirotex Lite resin for the window. When I measured the resin, it was actually closer to 14 ounces, which is disappointing as I benefit from that little bit of extra coverage.

Palm Fronds
Added some greenery to the tree trunks today – might add a few more palm fronds before I pour the resin.
