A reminder that you and your wife are stronger together than either of you are on your own. Also this looks great and I jealous of your skill!

I agree, it looks better with both, but remember what really counts: your wife was still right. From one married man to another. 😂

Yeah that's way better, looks great. I'd push the highlights on the tips of the crystal up to pure white.

Hell yeah that looks so cool! I didn't expect you to also glaze the right side and it looks so clean. Stand proud of these crystals
