Here is an old picture of the window in my garage. I made this by welding rebar together. At the time I didn't know squat about welding. What I did know is that I wanted that window to be a bit more secure. I got a little MIG welder from Harbor Frieght. I made a lot of mistakes. In the end I was quite happy with it.
Below the windows you can see my workbench. It's a good example of my organizational skills. Here's how that works (or doesn't depending upon your point of view): I work until I can't find something. Then I start to put tools and garbage away and do general organization until I find what I was looking for. At that point I got back to work. The main thing is that I'm not just moving piles of junk around. I deliberately do NOT look for the missing item. I find this works pretty well. It's always looks like a complete disaster but it's actually just barely organized enough for me to find what I need most of the time.

lol... I know exactly how you work.. my art table always looks like a disaster while I'm working but it doesn't bother me at all. I do, however, require it be spotless before I start. Funny that.. I must look at it like a blank canvas. Love the window, its originality gives it amazing presence.
I love the mirror. I trust it is as beautiful up close as it is in the picture. I also trust it isn't as heavy as the first one.
I have a very interesting book titled "The Sense of Unity. The book was put out by Iran during the Shah's reign but focuses on concepts put into form in the ancient Persian empire. The golden mean is a very significant part of their system. This is what they say: "The science of number stands above nature as a way of comprehending Unity. Numbers are the principle of beings and the root of all sciences. The first effusion of Spirit upon Soul." Well, I could go on and on with quotes from this book but it hardly seems appropriate in somebody elses blog. So anyway, the book is facinating but I don't know if it's available in bookstores anymore. Title is: The Sense of unity: The Sufi Tradition in Persian Architecture by Nader Ardalan and Laleh Bakhtiar, University of Chicago Press.
