<p>Finished another one. Learning a lot about love, myself, relationships in this process.</p>
<p>The love I have now is real, true, and lasting. I am so happy.</p>
<p>Also learning much about the logistical process of putting these pieces together.  One major struggle I&#8217;m having is that the metal upon which I&#8217;m mounting everything is so thin, I&#8217;m having to mount the metal itself onto a piece of wood &amp; hanging it with wire means it pulls away from the wall quite a bit.</p>
<p>Using the &#8220;teeth&#8221; style hooks may be an option, but there is so little control with those, I think. That, plus pounding them into the wood may break the glass in the artwork.</p>
<p>I may just be having to figure out how to cut my own metal and tack weld a box frame fro these pieces.  If I pay Bitterroot Welding to do the same thing, it&#8217;s $60 a pop.  Worth it, but I don&#8217;t have that kind of money for the amount of work I&#8217;m planning to produce with this series.</p>
