The Copper Foil Conundrum

In an effort to make my blog a little more "multi-medial", I looked for a video that could give a visual of how exactly the process of making something like this goes. And bless her heart, I found this video[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6NcEHSYVC4]of a seasoned stained glass artist that is showing us how to copper foil. This video VERY accurately depicts the coffer foil conundrum while giving some insight to the steps needed to get the foil to stick to the glass. This fancy wooden tool she talks about is a pencil. I'm not sure if you noticed that, but-she isn't fooling anyone with her #2 from the dollar store. Lastly, I have no idea what she is talking about when she says that she wraps the copper foil around her wrists. -Some ornate/terribly tacky statement about the wear-ability of raw art materials maybe? Overall, when it is all said and done, she is excited and informative about making such a fun project and that is what it is all about!

ENTHUSIASM!!!
