It sounds bad but I haven't seen the finished product.

You can also have the finished piece 'silvered' after heating/ cooling just as they 'silver' the glass for mirror, m.

Hey there M ... how ya Bee? I've been busy mostly designing since the snow melted .... on a house full of stained glass ... well, ok, an entry group w/ sidelights and transom, 3 sets of interior double-doors with transoms, several smaller windows, and one 5x7 foot panel exploring a theme of Sandhill Cranes and Migration ... well abstracted as is my bent. But all the door sets are non-representational, combining some reference elements of prairie-style-ish glass, heavily subordinated to my own organic abstracts. About to begin fabrication, and have acquired a great new helper (I usually work alone).... AND I get to use 100% Handblown Full-Antique glass for all of it. I love clients with good taste and the willingness to pay for it! The only down'side is that I only bought a 40 day ski pass this season...whaaa-aa-aa.... because I have to actually show up to get this job done ya know...heheheheh.

Oh well.... it should pay for next winter "off", AND my season pass.....(big grin). Oh, and I've been keeping in off-season shape this year by taking up mountain biking again. This time I'm following around some real gorillas that know how to do it right, and am learning a whole bunch... getting leaner & stronger too! Of course it helps that I got a new full-suspension Trek EX-9! Wheeee... now the downhill runs are a riot instead of requiring a trip to the chiropractor. Biking Mt. Baldy is awesome...but skiing it is still best ....;-)

What's new down at the beach, babe?

cheers, JB

don't forget some pics when you get to it! I'd love to see the project. my current undertaking is a 12 foot wide Hawaiian scene with windsurfers, volcano with lava, silver sword plants, waterfall, lots of awesome water/waves, palm trees, (no hula girls, sorry). I'm doing it as a triptych with totally cool glass though not all antique/blown. Nowhere near as impressive as your project but it'll pay the mortgage for a bit. Still trying to get the new house ready, my luck i'll be moving house, studioX2 and shop over Christmas.. Oh well, no family anyway so it'll keep me occupied. How'd ya find a helper? Are they interested in some beach time this summer? maybe we could trade ;>) glad you're busy, but don't forget to get in some runs as it improves ones outlook on work to enjoy some time off on occasion! m

pass.....(big

well, you're welcome to come for a visit IF you bring along that helper......As for the research, i had to rely on memory (not so good) and photos, pretty good so it is a true product of artistic license. Who would be actually windsurfing while the volcano is spewing lava behind them? But that's art. m
