I'm north of Minneapolis by a few burbs but postal code says I'm Minneapolis and online it is easier for most people to conceptualize. It took me two days to do it, but I got there: all my pattern pieces are stuck down and ready for the glass cutter.

oh yes!

The two biggest ones in Minneapolis are Archon Glassworks and Potekglass. They're both in the St. Paul area. You can get a lot of stuff from either store and take classes for all kinds of things: Copper foil stained glass, lead came stained glass, glass painting and glass fusing to name a few...

Hi!

I think it's incredibly accurate... the jump cuts are really fast and disorienting, but all the steps are mostly there. The only thing that this isn't showing is any stuff with wires, copper foil overlays, came or wood framing stuff. When you get into circle shape things and square shape things...

Thanks! I'm wondering if I can keep them happy enough to see any of them bloom. I plan on having an automated system to assist in their care, using probes feeding data through a raspberry pi to an oscillating fan, fogger and mister. I'll manually maintain a feeding schedule. Well let's see how...
