Autumn in June

I know it's a little early for fall colours but I have to say it's the one thing I miss about Ontario, my home province.  We're woefully short of maple trees here in B.C. so we just don't get these colours.  A lot of yellow but only a little red and none of the golds.  So I have to settle for recreating them in my stained glass studio.

I had shut the studio door a few weeks back.  Felt like I was spreading myself too thin and I really wanted to concentrate solely on my writing for a few months.  But while the writing muse was sitting on one shoulder, the glass muse was sitting on the other.  They were getting a little loud, vying for my attention, so I finally had to say -- Enough!!  There's time enough for the two of you...as long as I give up vacuuming, dusting, cleaning toilets, and washing floors. Okay, I decided -- if I have to, I have to.

The sacrifices we have to make in the name of art.                                                                                   

 On another (but similar) note...The new novel is progressing quite nicely.

    Great job! Is the bottom shot of stained glass leaves set in concrete? It looks like what I made a few years back and turned into patio tables. One is a lighthouse scene and the other a fish. Keeping with my Maritime roots, of course! I didn't want them as patio stones as it was 5 houses ago that I made them, so they would have been left behind. Patio tables were a bit more expensive (to buy the table frame) but way more practical for me.

    Yes, the bottom one is a patio stone. Haven't branched out into tables yet. Send me some pics of yours.
