Gosh, Mimi, I love the chair, and the girdle and I can't get enough of the telephone poles and wires. These are amazing. Can you post some kind of commentary about them, how you do them... (god, I'm so verbal, aren't I?) I can't wait to come visit you so I can be surrounded by these.

Bonnie,

These are all made by the copper foil technique: sticky copper tape around each piece of glass, soldered together. The other stained glass technique is where you fit together the pieces with felxible lead channel and only solder at the joints. I want to try that as well--it's better suited for weather-facing glass.

As far as other commentary. . . well, so far I gravitate toward compositions that use the line rather than the field, if that makes any sense.
