Ascent was planned as a diptych. It may still be one, but I am still working on just one of the pieces. What is half a diptych? Zen joke. I have cut and glued the glass insert. The cedar part of the piece has been cut and sanded, but has not been given it final finish yet. I put the glass very carefully balanced through the wood to see how it looked. It looked OK, but I later added several additional layers of glass to better fill the opening.
I glued the glass with UV cured glue. It was slow going, I only had a small UV flashlight to cure it. It took hours. Thanks to our patron, we purchased a much larger UV light source that plugs in. No more dead batteries and MUCH faster cure times. Yeah, Donna.
