Looking good. You need any

Looking good. You need any help with the install? Or should I ask how much help do you have on hand for the install?

Be cool to get this one published. Mary (my wife) just got "Isadora" done in a coffee table book. We are giving it to them as a gift.

Can't wait to see your work after you install.

Thanks Kevin...

There will be three of us for the install. Myself,my husband and my nephew who has been working with us. We usually do it with three people.,except my last big job. It was just me and Walter! This shouldn't be too problematic as it's outside and the sections are relatively smallish. One 10ft section.getting excited! Janet R.

Looking great Janet cannot wait to see some close up pics of the butterflies, It has a lovely art deco feel and am sure will look stunning in place. Where is it to be sited? Is it for a public place or Private residence? Look forward to more images. Adrian

Dragonfly data...

dragonfly insets are stained glass cut out by stained glass artist/friend. Put in with caulking...seems to work and hold up so far. The larger pieces were actually lead soddered in. I think I need to learn to cut my own glass.
took a slumping class years ago at urban Glass in brooklyn, have all the tools...so why not????

Grab some copper foil, a glass cutter, some breaking pliers and go for it. One tip, don't do over carpet.
