Artistic project parking place

Not because I'll get them all (most) (any) done, but because if I let them out of my head, I'll stop thinking about them all the time.

Perhaps I'll stop thinking about them all the time. 

1. Sort and hang the art in the house.
2. Get the eggbot fully working and
           *etch glasses for Diana and Niki's wedding gift
           etch be amazed wineglasses for mom
           etch some pumpkin glasses for Chris
          etch some octopus glasses for fun

Mossariums.   Make some for gifts, but have a big time fun to be able to have them in the LR on the shelves.

Pergolas!  Or are they arbors?  Certainly not Gazebos. 

Fondue party. 

Stained glass tryptic for Teresa

garden plan for front yard

(cutting myself off before I get too wild)

no, wait--casting:  Saluminati!

Pergola and arbor seem to be somewhat interchangable - but anyway, I am excited by the idea, because there are several period illustrations of serving a small meal for about 16 under an arbor. There are little cages hanging from the rafters with birds in them (likely to provide twittering ambiance) and descriptions as well. That would be loads of fun!

If the engineering was right,

we could leave the canvas off and have a pergola (adding extra lattice) or put canvas on for a more cathedral or dining space...would be fun to experiment with.

Can you point me at the illustrations?

Here is one that I have offhand - the others are in another book, and I'm not at home at the moment =) It's the cucina by Vincenzo Campi.

Ooh! Ooh! Eggbot!!!!

When you're ready to start any of these things, I'd love to be involved. Esp eggbotting, stained glass triptych, mossaria, and of course a fondue party. Yay art!

Eggbot 2/3 done
