" lust and lure and the love of stain glass..While this cliche" is admittedly melodramatic...it nevertheless gives an accurate feel for the passion Cindy has for this craft...Last October this wall begin forming in her mind...not knowing how much glass she would need she guessed....purchasing at that time....when finished she had one whole piece left....:0) Kent built the wall to hold her beauties....Cindy found her inspiration in a 2"by 3" picture...knowing she wanted circles and some straight lines...she rummaged through her cabinets to find the right size circles in her kitchen ware...she says the two windows do not match perfectly in the middle..the amount off would have to be ever so slight...because we couldn't see it.... Pictured here is a piece Cindy finished from scraps for a niece's corner space of her stairway...Yes, there are empty spaces that is part of the design for this piece.. In the eyes of the SoTA sisters Cindy's skills and craftsmanship are unsurpassed..The Ol' Blogger
We are a group of women of different personalities and ages who blend together to make for an interesting and fun group. Our group is dedicated to creating art using various textiles and other mediums. Our interests include sewing, knitting, quilting, doll making, purse making, felting, beading, jewelry making, stained glass, glass blowing, glass fusing, mosaics, and altered books. We share our ideas and our time, to create items that are unusual, traditional and fun. Our fun meter is more important than our gas meter. We fill it at least once a month during our monthly meeting where we have show and tell to show projects we've completed, talk about new projects and share ideas. And the food!! As textile artists we are such lucky people. We find pleasure in simple things; the colors of hand-dyed fabrics, a spool of lustrous thread—we almost hyperventilate when we go through the door of a bead store! How fortunate we are to have passion to create and to achieve such satisfaction in what we do.
