Hello at last!

Greetings!
It's been a long time since I've added a post here, but the time has come!  
I'm off soon to visit a dear friend in Spain and to see the work of Gaudi (at last!)!  The anticipation is uncomfortable.  It is so much better for me not to imagine what a trip will be like so that I am surprised and happy with whatever comes my way.  But I have wanted to visit Barcelona for so long that I can't help it: my hopes are high!
I'll focus my mind on other (related) topics and show you a few of the things that I have made while I've been away from the blog.  Unfortunately, I haven't even been very good at photographing my work before it goes out the door, so this is just a small sampling:
Here's a lamp I made for my brother. (I used gold leaf over silk on the shade!)

A couple of transom shaped windows that I let go without proper pictures!

One more shot of the sunflower transom.

A piece I just finished and sent off to the gallery.

A first: a glass tabletop made for a friend's newly remodeled porch.
In other news....
I've also been on a trip to the Czech Republic since I last posted.  It was a glorious week in April with a promise of spring around every corner.  We stayed with good friends and explored parts of southern Bohemian we had not seen in the past.  Here are a few shots from that trip:


Do you see that village way down below?  That's where we had lunch -- and, yes, we had to hike back up!


A beautiful day in Prague.



We had to visit Vysehrad for old time's sake (we used to live just below this church).
