Closer

During the recent bouts of rain, and in between face bashings and finger loss, I have managed to work on the window a little more. I have completed the hardest parts I believe, so it should start going a little faster.
You can see the textures in the clear glass a little better in this pic than in the one above. Here you can see where I've had to shim up the copper foil pieces to be level when one end is in the lead came and the other edges are not.
Of course, it helps when you have a good studio buddy to talk to while you are working. He's kinda quiet but is real easy-going. It was cold enough last weekend that I actually had a fire going in the heater for a couple of days. That makes the basement very comfy but Lika actually doesn't like it so I had to move his bed all the way to the other side of the basement in order to entice him to come back in. I don't know if he doesn't like the smell or something or if it just gets too warm for him.

Most dogs I know will crowd the hearth to be near the warmth. Maybe he gets enuf warmth from those Alabama summers (and the warmth of your love).

Hey Pablo! I guess he does 'cause he will not go anywhere near that heater unless it is below freezing outside. Crazy dog.

Hey FC! thanks sweetie! Lika looks pretty slick in that photo but days he's been playing in the creek I might be embarrassed to show him!
