The holiday season was pretty intense for me. I had a LOT of work to do. But, here's some glass. 20-sided baubles. I even sold a couple of them as Christmas ornaments.

I do my soldering for these in 3 passes. First I tack the joints in 50/50, then I fill the seams in 50/50, and then I draw the beads in 60/40. For my flat pieces, it's more of a 5-step process. Tack, fill front, fill back, bead front, bead back. I then took a ball of copper wire (you can get it at the grocery store for scrubbing pots) and I run it over the seams. This gives it an antique finish that I like. Then I patina and seal.
