Glass

I have this problem. I have all these ideas for projects in glass that won't leave me alone. Some are weird and so I fly it by the man who keeps me grounded in these projects. He's part owner of the shop I work out of. The other owner has been my friend for more than 30 years.
I have this glass idea based on a piece I did for my art show at Pentagon Gallery in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. I built this three dimensional star around a twisted wire post. The piece I want to do began to grow in my head and I will do it eventually. Usually I don't jump right into the project because that tends to leave me with a piece that's half done because I've come up with a problem. That's usually when I go hotfooting it for Ross's help. His reply is usually something like "you didn't think this through or plan it, did you?" He's had to say it often enough to me that I do think the projects through and plan well. Now I run to him less often.
The piece I want to do is comprised of lots of little pieces built out and away from the post, around the post and will become three dimensional in the end. I want to kind of draw it out to make certain it won't eventually fall out of the foil and solder bindings.
I also want to plan colors, shapes, and textures. Hopefully I will debut the piece here on my blog.
Isn't the design of this blog spectacular? I thank my daughter for the design. She is a master artist herself, accomplished at crocheting and web design. Got the crocheting from me and the computer ability from her father.
Well, off to warm up - it's 6 degrees outside and this room is cold.
