Pretty far

Not finished but pretty close. I cut up a piece of kitschy cabinet glass for one of the borders. Still contemplating whether or not I’ll dress her.

Friday night

This is the window as it stands Friday night. We’ll see how far I get by Sunday.

Dunn Bros. Coffee Lake St. and Bryant Ave., Uptown

I’ve had 6 of my largest windows hanging at this coffeeshop since the beginning of September. In a couple of weeks I will hang 13 skeleton windows for Halloween and Day of the Dead through November. Gotta finish Pink Twist soon. photos: Bodil Diseth

Pink Twist progress

Pink Twist

The body is pretty much done, next is her pink beehive hair-do and ice cream on her cone.

Old painted window

I spent almost 3 hours completely dismantling this 18 x 40 inch window from the both the outside of a friend’s house and part of the buffet inside. To our surprise it had a sheet of rootbeer colored glass behind it obscuring the brighter painted panel. Was it too bright for the homeowner without it? I don’t know what the new design will be but these pieces are now part of my painted scrap glass inventory.

Pink Twist

The body pieces are matted and fired, ready to cut to size. I painted a bunch of additional stuff to possibly use for something later since I had the room on the pieces (really, I was just playing with a brush). Looking forward to the fun part of assembling the window now.
