I've been buying up old Gothic Revival stained glass fragments from church window restorers and I will be making a panel. I'm not leading it, but I'll be sticking the stained glass to a backing piece of glass.

That's cool! Is it for a building or event or something?

No, it's for me

. Where will you put it so it gets light?

It will be quite abstract but made up of non-abstract pieces iyswim. I have lilies, hands, crowns, wings, leaves and little flower roundels.

Not sure yet. Possibly against my bedroom window.

Are you going to fill in with something between the bits?
Mrs Magpie
On a bit of break...
The first thing I have to do is spend a while positioning them on paper and working out what goes where, then drawing round and labelling them before I put them on the backing glass. I did once have a go at leading glass but it adds so much weight. I might cheat and use sculpey or fimo as fake lead once all the pieces are stuck down.

Oh, and my project is much assisted by Sas sending me a load of chinagraph leads for a clutch pencil

Crafty people:
I'm involved with trying to get a maker's space up and running in/near Brixton. Would be great to see some of you tonight or next week for a show and tell
http://www.facebook.com/BrixtonTinkerspace
We have booked the downstairs hall at Brixton Community Base tonight and Thursday next week.
http://www.bsvcc.org/space.html
Which is exactly here:
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Lo...London+SW2+1AS,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&t=h&z=19
Please come along for a show and tell. Bring your projects, whether they're just an idea on a scrap of paper, a box full of parts, or a completed thing that you're proud of. Let's show each other what we do, and talk about how we could do it better with a place to do it in. Yes, it's the run up to Christmas and it's cold out there, but please try and make the effort!
We'll pass the tin round to pay for the space, but don't stay away if you're broke. People are more valuable than money.
Hope to see everyone there!

This is exactly it - the high tec crafters need lots of fancy equipment (3D printers and laser cutters apparently) whereas all we need is a bit of room to spread out. It would be lovely to meet you Greebo if you can make it - I'm bringing a corset which I have nearly finished, just a bit of hand sewing left.

melting like a toastie
I finished the scarf (started in September)!
Last week yeah but I was maybe going to take pictures.
Yellow and grey wavy stripes in triple/treble/whatever crochet with a double border to contain the loose bits as I didn't snip and sew in between stripes. Iyswim.
I think I'll make a kindle sleeve next as my taped bubblewrap has fallen apart.

I won't come along this time as I don't want to pass this bug around to people I know. (people on the tube and in WHSmoth who catch it from me- hard cheese
)But would love to be involved next year!
