Yoda is ready to hang in Shay's bedroom window.  Hopefully it inspires pleasant dreams (no light-sabre fighting!)

Yoda - coming along

Added a bit of line detail with fusible paint (bisterbrown) -- back in the kiln.

Added some shading.... back in the kiln once more.

Christmas is coming --- for grandkids...

I have just completed this glass mosaic mirror for my little granddaughter (Shhhh! Don't tell - it's part of her Christmas gift). Her bedroom is decorated in a jungle theme - and she loves monkeys - maybe because she was born in the 'year of the monkey' -- or maybe just because they are so cute (like she is!)

I have just begun the piece for her brother -- who is not a fan of monkey -- much more interested in 'Star Wars' characters.  He has told me in the past that he would like a glass piece of Yoda -- so here it comes.
Step one just went into the fusing kiln this afternoon.

The very first step, of course, was to come up with a plan.  I will fuse the figure of Yoda and use traditional stained glass (copper foil method) to complete the piece.  Yoda will be fused first.  I start with a clear piece of fusible glass and layer the colored glass pieces on top.

Now Yoda heads into the kiln -- at a contour fusing temperature -- Next step will be to add details with fusible paint.... stay posted.
