Here is an idea for the Eternal Light: A small mouth-blown pomegranate shroud with a gold rim. A letter "shin" is gold leafed onto the surface of the shroud. The shroud is attached to a nipple through the bottom and finished with a gold-leafed cap. To remove shroud, unscrew the cap and slide downward.
Michelle has completed cutting the glass for the two ark door panels and is ready to turn them over for assembly.
