Week 18- stuck in the middle

As I continue working on the glass for Mari's Fire, a pattern has appeared. It is clear that I need to make sure the sides and bottom match the previously made pieces. This helps to guide how I start the construction. I also have in mind the vision for the top three sections. I am tending to work from the bottom toward the middle and then the top to the middle. So the middle is where I get "stuck." This becomes more trial and error, putting pieces of glass down, looking at glass combinations on the light box, and trying frit animals. I usually need to leave the piece- let it sit in my mind, go work in the garden, sleep on it and have faith that the vision will come. The next time I start the work flows.
