It has been so much fun to walk into Youghiogheny and Bullseye Glass and pick out the best stuff from their amazing selections. And to have the opportunity to use all these beautiful clear textures from Lamberts!!! All these special glasses are so unique, organic, personal, authentic, quirky…. I know that they’ll add to the overall aesthetic of the project, but I also love that some people will look at the more subtle details, like the varieties of textured glass in the stars, and think, “wow, I love that glass with the tiny bubbles right there… it’s just so beautiful!”
That said, when I realized that I needed some more Lamberts Weak Seedy glass to finish the front wall, it was HORRIBLE to hear, “It’s out of stock, and the next container ship from Germany won’t be heading over until some time in October.” Fortunately, we were able to track down some Regular Seedy glass, and it’s just as perfect, so I’ll go with that!
Other glitches: Robert had set a deadline of the end of this week for the steel studio door construction, but he seems to keep getting sidetracked by other aspects of this project, and has put the door on the back burner. Count your blessings though… while discussing the door project with his cousin Mike (who can build and/or fix pretty much anything), they found a measurement in the curtain wall drawing that did not match the dimensions of my stained glass design! It was a glitch that was easily remedied right now, but which might have given us headaches if we didn’t notice it until further along.
