A couple of days ago UPS delivered a long, well-padded box that held the glass piece by Melissa Haid that we got in our big shopping day in Santa Fe. We hung it over the living room window.
Hanging next to it is another piece of hers that we got years ago in Madrid. The big, open space you see on the garage wall above the flamingos is where the Destiny Allison piece will go. It's due Tuesday.
Here's a close-up of one of the panes of glass. It's layers of glass, glass beads, wire, and mica fused together and strung on (we're told) livestock fencing.
And here's a close-up of the fringe hanging in front of the window (the blind has been lowered behind it).
It's pretty.

Very impressive. Does it cast pretty colors when the sun hits? I can't wait to see it in person.
Very pretty, but what happens in a strong wind??
Haven't seen much wind yet but I don't think we'll have to worry about that. (If it's strong enough to worry about, the windows will be closed and these things would be the least of our worries.)
They're heavy or small enough that they won't blow too much. But the bigger piece on the right side of the window probably could do some spinning. But it won't bump into anything.
I feel better
