What do all Mensan's have in common? They love to learn! M-Friends members are no exception to that rule. In December M-Friends started a three series class in working with stained glass. The first class was working with foil to make a Christmas ornament. Class two will be working with lead to create a sun catcher. Class three will be held in February and will be aoubt fusing glass.

Only two bandades were required and everyone left with the same number of fingers they arrived with. Because of some slight technical difficulties with the "J", a second classroom day was set up so everyone could finish their Christmas ornament. Finally, everyone shows off their completed ornaments. An A++ for everyone!

Marilyn also choose to leave her ornament in the original silver color. With the blue letters, the silver color really looks great.
All three of the ornaments look  FANTASTIC!
