Saint Sketches

Here is how I begin a job for one of my glass designs. I work real rough to begin with, I find no reason to kill yourself in the beginning stages because the design process grows and changes as you go. I like the energy of real rough sketches they have LIFE in them--the trick is not to kill the life when you blow up and refine and perfect the anatomy etc. These are two sketches for two different windows. Sketching is the fun part--etching and installing etc is hard, hard work....Today I measure the windows and get ready to roll up sleeves for a lot of work.
