Yeah, I know I got rather silly a couple weeks ago when I said I was considering outfitting myself to screen printing just so I could the mailbox done. The truth is, I’ve been thinking on finding a new hobby that could eventually become a serious artistic expression as well as a possible source of income at some point down the road once my skills and body of work matured. In the end, I really think this medium will fit well with my graphic design sensibilities.

After the success of the mailbox, I started planning an address sign for the house itself, and of all the possible forms it could take, I’m really, really, digging the vision I have in my head of a back-lighted stained glass sign.

Last year I pretty much stopped working on the house for the winter so once that lull hits this year, I’m going to begin teaching myself how to do stained glass. The first project will be the address sign, and I’m also really excited by the idea of making an insert my new front door whenever I get around to doing that.

I can see a lot of enjoyment coming from this.
