P.S. - Does anyone else work like this.....cutting glass a piece at a

time,
fitting it against what is already cut, without using a pattern? Kinda

just
going with the flow and seeing where you wind up? I'm using clear

sheets
of
adhesive to hold the finished pieces of glass in place as I work, saving

the
foiling for later....


I have a friend of mine who insists on working by the "seat of his

pants".
His excuse is that he's an oldtimer. All I can say is that you can do
whatever makes you happy, but after 100's of years of doing it the right

way
with a pattern, I think it's pretty much impossible to improve on your
results without one. More so it may take you 10 times longer to achieve

the
same or worse results.

You are probably right. I don't set any speed records....but, when I find a
piece of glass with a little character that would be interesting in the
panel, but it is bigger, longer, smaller, wider, etc. than the pattern calls
for, I am free to use it spontaneously without having to adjust elsewhere. I
guess at 49, I, too, am an old-timer....patterns just seem to be so
restraining....

Jay (never sold a piece of work, and now you can see why)
