I don't often see glass work that really thrills me so I thought I was going to have a hard time finding something in the work of a glass artist that I could apply to my own work.  Then I looked at the art of Mitchell Gaudet.  Wow, I love it.  I love the color.  I love the repetition.  I love the meaning behind the pieces.  I just love his work
.
   This piece is so beautiful.  I want to make a stencil quoting this design.

I love the grid arrangement.  This gives me a good idea about how to make small pieces that work together as a whole.  This is something I have been trying to do for several years now and have never been happy with the results,  I always have trouble where the edges meet.  This work makes me want to try to create an ensemble of small pieces where the positive space does not wander to the edge of each piece.
