The story of the stained glass...
Apr. 13th, 2012 02:16 pmEdit April 13... done!! They are being shipped next week!!!
At the end of last year, I commissioned
earthmother45 to create one of her beautiful stained glass windows for my living room.
The space now has a plastic cling thing on it that I put there to keep the eastern sun from frying my ass on Summer mornings.

We agreed - for both artistic and practical (shipping - since she's 3000 miles away) on 3 windows - a triptych. We settled on fish. I turned her loose.
She is generously documenting the entire process in her journal. And so, I get to watch my windows unfold. I'm collecting all the entries here and will update when she does. It's a wonderful thing to watch.
