Sorry about the oversight. This work which measures 62"x48"x24" was completed by me, Robert Schwieger, in Lincoln Nebraska. Bob

Wow....

Saw this....didn't know what to say.

All I know is, if I need any kind of religous icon...

I'll be lookin' to you.

Job like that could make a man excited about glass for the rest of his days.


Saw something similiar to this in Nogales...or was it Silver City....
maybe it was Bisbee....


Outstanding!

-Aho!
