I've got a number of health issues from stained glass which is why I don't do full-time commercial or production-work any more.
Chronic sinus infections, chronic skin problems- reactions to soldering flux (which prevents me from wearing a respirator), worsening allergies and very abnormal memory-loss issues for my age.
Dirtineye actually badgered me for years to try enamel-work and I'm finally doing it.

Beautiful work! I love your style, Skip.
And all the best to you as you find ways to unleash your creativity without jeopardizing your health. Looks like you've found a great path to explore.
Years ago, I switched to using non-toxic finishes for all of my wood art and carpentry projects. Can't put a price on your life.

Weird, wild, and very nice to look at. More impressive after hearing what you have gone through to produce. Metal poisoning can take time to eliminate and heal. My admiration and sympathy.

I just noticed the Greene & Greene styled cloudlift details she did in the not-straight horizontal lines today after really looking at the window, not the process...
Skip said,
"Yeah, so?"

Just got a free "husband upgrade" - who knew such a thing existed?
There was a JTree element of the lone wire in the amber glass that struck a chord.

Yes, Apogee, my house! I'm a repeat offender! I was about to say I was up on three strikes but that's already happened! My next purchase will make me a quad (not counting what I've
bought for a client)!
As the saying goes - GET SOME!!!!

Wow.. how did I miss this thread? Beautiful stuff Justthemaid. I really like the tree.
It makes me feel sad that creating this beauty hurt your health.
