Lancet Windows CCXLI and CCXLII

Though I haven't blogged in a bit, I have been working.  In fact, I created three Small In Box pieces.  Each one was constructed, stitched, melted, mounted, and framed but no photos were taken.  Why?  Well, I'm busy gearing up for the South Highland Guild's summer show in Asheville, July 16 - 19.  I need a full assortment of my Stained Glass and In Box Series.  I've been so focused on the "making" that I sort of forgot about snapping pictures.  After being satisfied with the number of In Box pieces, I turned my attention to the Stained Glass fiber work ... realizing that I didn't have a single Lancet Window.  I plan to create two more in addition to these two!

I think I have enough Window Series pieces.  I want to make at least one (possibly two) Large In Box pieces.  It is very difficult to guess just what I will actually need, especially since I've never before been in this show.  At least I'm having a great time in my studio!

I've already made one Large Stained Glass piece ... which I'm hoping is enough ... and two Peacock Feathers.  I'd like to make at least two more Peacock Feathers.  Time will tell if I get all this work done!
