Playground is stocked

It's starting to look like I'm actually working down here! I bought a Beetle Bits system - it took me over an hour to set it up and get it going but it's so awesome. If you've never heard of it, basically it aligns rulers to a grid platform to cut glass on. You can cut the same geometric shape over and over pretty quickly. It only works with straight scores but there's shortcuts for triangles, diamonds of different dimensions... It's really cool!

Ready for solder!

Life's been a bit hectic at chez Levin for a few weeks, but I finally got a chance to finish the outside ring of my mandala. I've decided to not "fill in the circle", instead I'm going to solder lead came around the edges.
