For last week's annual autumn art crawl, Vista Lights, I had this piece stapled onto stretcher bars I use during the melting process. I'd soldered about half the holes. I also had Stained Glass XXV on my table, under construction.

People coming through my studio at Gallery 80808/Vista Studios really seem to enjoy seeing the work in the various stages of development. Since then, I finished this piece and am now melting the next one. I've got three more designed....more than enough to do over the Thanksgiving holiday!
