It started innocently enough with me texting our neighbor this picture.
.

.
She’s a retired psychiatrist who’s taken up stained glass as a hobby. While I appreciate the work that goes into such things, I’ve never been a fan of those run of the mill sun catchers… and the few pieces of her work that I’d seen left a lot to be desired.
.

.
So when I saw that fun pot of glass agave leaves, I passed it along because she’s always looking for ideas. Next thing I knew she was texting me pictures of some of her latest projects…
.

.
And I have to say….
.

.
Her work has come a long way. (That frog!❣️)

I was so impressed with this owl I offered to buy it, but sadly she had already given him away. But then she sent me this…
.

.
And the husband fell in love, immediately pondering its placement the man cave. While I’m thinking this eagle might be a little large, our neighbor now wants us to visit her studio and browse. She even offered us a custom made piece. How great is that!
.
I had a friend who would take found materials and build houses out of them. They were a joy to behold, albeit a bit eclectic, and reminiscent of walking through a cows intestine of textures and colors. He would build a fence from old boxcars and railroad ties, and people would oooh and ahhh!
I would take the same junk and build a fence, and people would say, that looks like a fence built from junk. Maybe you should hire a contractor …

While I love the Steampunk art movement, anything I’ve ever tried to do ends up like your fence. More junk than punk.

I would love that eagle for my son.
But I won’t sell my Mustang to ship it to me.
You’ll have to bring it.
Yup. That’ll work.

Funny how the wolves have the least color pop to them, yet if I had my choice, they’d be what I’d want in my window!

I would buy the coyotes/wolves in a heartbeat.
She’s good and, based on what you’ve said, getting better all the time. Plus, she’s defining “good retirement.”
