Progress with the glass...

Well, the glass has all been chosen, had a really good trip over to Tempsford with Naomi and there are some really exciting pieces that all work together. Some of the greens are stunning and will look great with the lighter shades. The shop have two fantastic hounds, an English bull terrier and some little terrier - just what was needed chasing round the glass showroom with a ball on a string.

It seems like a couple of weeks ago when we went over but I think it has been quite a little while now, it took me a while to get into being able to cut the first pieces for the window - they were the more expensive greens and it was like gearing up to cut a diamond.

These are two of the greens held up to the lamp in the shed:

So, just to show that I have not been too idle in the meantime, these are some photos of the progress so far, they don't do the window justice against the paper, but you can see the scale and the shapes as the window starts to take shape. I am already enjoying getting on with it and will keep sending updates as I reach the tree trunks and into the sky areas.
