PROJECTS FINISHED

2020 Has ended, I finished the two major fall projects. Katy's Night light is nearly ready to ship, and the shield has been delivered. Both were major projects using different mediums different problems solved, different ideas. The Night light used fusion glass art of a tree and a night sky, then it was set into a piece of black walnut slab, and the lettering cut by a laser cutter. Lights were added and a power chord.

The shield was made from 1/4" plywood screwed to a curved set of backing pieces, then the second skin was added by gluing and clamping it over the top of the first. It took 16 clamps to just clamp that small shield. The center of the shield is one solid piece and I had to figure out how to curve the back so it would lay flat agains't the curve of the shield. the knights haed and feather headdress are cut with a dremel, the oak leaves were also curved on the back and then cut with chisels and a dremel. I'm pretty happy with both.
