Adventures in Dangerous Art
I'm learning the art (or is it a craft?) of stained glass. At this weblog, I record progress, note useful links, and document flesh wounds.

December 21, 2002: Now the Messy Part
Soldered flower shape, or nuclear cabbage, or whatever.

I've soldered both sides of the transom. Now to go outside and take advantage of what's left of a lovely sunny warm-ish day by puttying in the autumn-like breeze.

Yeesh. I take a long weekend, and miss a lot of transom-building action.

It looks really beautiful, Michelle!

It is beautiful...still reminds me of "Jitterbug Perfume" (A novel by Tom Robbins) not even close to a nuclear cabbage!!
Happy Holidays!!

Thanks Adrith and Heidi---Don is downstairs right this moment, torturing small pieces of wood with his table saw, in order to build a nice frame for the transom. I'm starting to get really excited to see it go up over the doorway to the dining room :)

Thank you, Kim, and happy Hanukkah and New Year's and (if you're lucky?) snow days off of work.
