My studio-mate and also my sister have encouraged me to craft a glass feather. Of course I either cannot find a pattern already made that I like or I enjoy the creation of my own design. I thought you'd like to see my process.
First, finding inspiration:
Next, sketching lots of things:

The best time to sketch is during meetings. |

Some of the ideas from meeting sketches made in to larger ideas. |

Trying some new angular ideas instead of nicely fitted drawings. |
Then, convincing myself it does not have to be perfect the first time or ever, but if I don't just do SOMETHING then nothing new will ever come.
I gave myself a deadline: three feathers by our open studio event on 11/14/14.
Here's the first design:

The cat was really bored by this project. Sorry the lighting is so yellow, I wasn't planning on a photoshoot. |
I will add a photo of the glass versions as soon as they are done!
Second and third you'll have to come to 400 West Rich to see!
