So wonderful. Before I started creating music I was a sculptor myself. I had a studio full of art. But over the years music completely took over. However It has always been my dream to make stained glass. I have been setting up my stained glass studio the last few months. And during the time I am not playing melodies ill be in the studio mastering my glass skills. What you have done here is amazing and inspiring to me. And I hope you take it as a compliment when I say I would like to emulate some of your work. (not copy) but take notes of your style. Keep up the good work you have a new fan in me. Have a great day.

Hi Joseph, What a wonderful artist you are! I’ve never seen anyone making 3D sculptures like yours. They are amazing! Thank you for sharing! This also left me puzzled - how on earth did you join those glass sculptures in the wooden frames? It seems really tricky to get that precision for rod holes if you inserted the ready-made sculpture into the frame. Or did you build the sculpture into the frame? How did you manage that? All best wishes to you!
@JosephFerguson-tu8ug

I build the frame the size needed for the composition usually 6 inches deep. Holes are drilled into. The frame the diameter of brass rod of a thickness necessary to support the composition : industrial brass rod can be found any diameter I n. 10 foot length. I hope to give more information via video . Thanks for your interest, Joe f

I would have agreed with you, was reluctant to use plastic, but as I esplaine in the wind sculpture video, plastic is less threatening to exhibitions. It is also lighter than glass and allows one to build less support. But nothing is as exciting a s glass. thanks and build big things. Joe

My bases are blocks of stone or heavy wood, I build the sculptures in averticl position ,, as a painter would paint a picture. I use brass rod, obtained from an industrial supplier, diameters around 1 eight dia. easily bent. I hope to have more pieces on Utube. Courage. its worth the anxiety.

You ask the crucial question. Soldering requires bare metal, Metals oxidize quickly and that prevents the solder from bonding. Your soldering iron myst be tinned , it surface should be bright so it picks up the solder and transfers heat to the metal. Keep at it courage Joe

I like the way your intuition led you to Manbiguity. Maybe Manbiguity uses the pronouns they and them, in that contemporary way, like in the first chapter of Genesis, where it reads, “male and female created he them." One could read the original text as if separate males and females didn't emerge until Chapter 2. It could suggest a more transcendent view of the wholeness of the individual. I love your new word.
