Stained Glass Wind Chime For Abuela

I am making a wind chime to take with me on my "Mission" to Spain.   The wind chime is for my 90 year old Abuela.  The reason I said "Mission" is because I am going to be doing more research for my Abuelas's memoir.  I will be scanning letters, recipes, and old photos.  I will also be asking a million questions in a video interview. 

But for now this is the wind chime work in progress:

 I have three pieces left to foil then I can begin soldering it together and adding the chimes.

Progress is relative...

I have cleared off and organized the disaster of my desk and surrounding area. That is progress!

I have researched writing tips on websites, have purchased more books on writing, and have purchased books similar in genre to my book in progress. I also purchased a DVD about the Spanish Civil War.

Dearest Ones - A True WW II Love Story

Napoleon and Josephine - A Love Story
