Well, this month has been incredibly crazy. I've completed three cubimal pieces for the game
Glitch, the third of which was my first commission. (YAY!)
 |
| My first commission!! |
I opened an
Etsy store and I actually rented a studio:
And I've been working hard to get it to a work- and client-friendly space:
 |
| This is what you see when you walk in my door. Note the finished works in the window. |
 |
| My desk space from a different angle. |
 |
| A comfy couch to sit on. The leather is worn, so I'm planning on recovering the couch. |
For my space, I've designed a sign:
But the Tenant Handbook calls for this sign to be 22 inches by 28 inches. My template is 21 by 27 to account for the wood frame I intend to put around it, and well.... that's a bit HUGE, to say the least:
 |
| For scale, here is the pattern made to size (minus the width of the frame) hanging over my cutting station. |
I've requested more information and perhaps an allowance for a smaller sign - especially since it will hang right in front of an emergency exit:
 |
That's my door on the left and I'm supposed to hang my sign on that wooden thing.
It won't block the emergency exit AT ALL. O.o |
Also this month, I scored my second commission, a Pikachu worthy of his own blog entry, and went on vacation in Costa Rica where I found the world's cutest frog, which will become the subject of at least one more piece, if not more:
 |
| Draft Pattern 1 |
 |
| Draft Pattern 2 |
All in all, it's been a crazy month and it's not finished, yet! I'm having a blast designing more patterns, and I'm looking forward to my future in stained glass.
