Yippee!

Stained Glass News #107 is now in. 
• Stained Glass 101 Matthew McMillan—Matthew shares his artistic relationship with refractory materials. Hmmm. Actually, he helps the reader understand which material is best for which purpose. He explains the inherent health risks and how to work safely with these materials. Lots of pretty pictures.
• Working Large Bill Klopsch—Bill has said from day one that he would quit writing when he reaches his 50th column. Guess what… this issue is number 49, so Bill is readdressing topics and questions and pointing the reader to past issues for more indepth information.
• Design It Your Way Carolyn Kyle—This is the second of a three-part series of articles that teach color and glass combinations. The reader learns a bit more about the color wheel, but samples are shown using glass, not just colors. Most hobbyists will learn (or be reminded of) somthing here.
• Guest Columnist Tanya Veit —Tanya shares a brief description of the decal-making process. She explains why her decals are unique and offers tip and hints about working with them as well as a firing schedule. There is even a testimonial from a customer of hers that shares how she uses the decals with her stained glass work.
• Fire It Up Susan Molnar—Susan offers suggestions about bubbles in fusing and how to prevent them.
• this issue's Free Pattern: Victorian Toys is from the out-of-print book Victorian Christmas by Kimberlee Lynch
