I Can't Help Myself

Well....I've started another one.  This one is going next to my chair.  The first two pictures are of the glass I am using for the outer layer.  I have it all cut and smoothed.  Tomorrow will be drilling the holes and recounting the glass.  I have more than enough cut but am positive I don't have enough finished for placement. 

   

This next glass picture is no longer accurate but it gives you an idea.  This is the glass used to "defuse" the light and add interest on the inside.  I have since added a kewl blue and more white.  The inside layers will be somewhat checkerboard in nature.  I still need to smooth those pieces and then drill but I should be able to get all of that done in a couple of hours tomorrow.  Another purple wheel.  This is the other wheel from Katie's "big girl" bike.  There is no saving or reusing that poor bike so we don't need to feel guilty about not re purposing it.
 

  

This is what I have had to house my glass in of late.  It's truly pathetic.  The brown shelf has ten drawers all filled to capacity.  I am SO looking forward to finishing my storage shelf so I can properly store this awesome glass.....and of course....by more. 

 

I hope to have this one finished this weekend.  I actually bought a wheel from Amazon that will be delivered tomorrow.  It will be the top for the chandelier that will make its home in our bedroom.  Not sure what colors it will be.  All I know is we need something different than what is currently in there.  I also plan to make one for our foyer (much smaller) and then my mom has her eye(s) on one and bought the glass for it yesterday.  I'll be busy for a while. :~)  Be back later with more pictures....
