One good thing about knowing guitar players is that sometimes you get free busted guitars. Thanks, Tim Tucker!
Now that I don't have to be making jewelry every day I turn my creative impulses to a larger project: A GUITAR!

So I don't often plan my works because nothing ever turns out as I expect. But I'll try. In spite of Mercury being retrograde at the onset of my efforts, this is the plan. Although something cautions me not to, I'm going to log my time to see how long this takes. I probably really don't want to know.

I'm inspired this time by the golden ratio and swirls. I'll start with some gold smalti and lots of erasing.
 
This is how I choose glass. Going for reds, greens and blues.

Green first

After several hours, it's time for some back stretches. 8 hours so far from sketching to this. It's so much like sitting in a practice room with your viola, you know?
