    Oh my gosh! Beautiful! You always inspire me! Tell us about each item... I really want to know! Is that a stained glass panel? How did you make it? It's fantastic! Where will you place it? I am in total awe of your talents! Thanks for making my day! Bear Hugs! Kirk

    Absolutely beautiful.
    Can I come over and get that rabbit right now? I love him. Was it a form first that you covered? Really nice work.

  • 18 years ago

    WOW! GREAT work.
    You have been buzy.
    I wish I had your eye for color.
    In the frog picture - is that a rack of glass in the background?

    Jane you know I just love your stuff. I had seen them on the mosaic forum. They are all beautiful. You do the best job with critters. The bunny is my fav of all you've done!!! So many different pieces. BEAUTIFUL!!!

    The butterfly is delightful. Can the sun shine through it? What will you do with it in your yard? Thanks for posting your work.

  • 18 years ago

    Oh, it's just too hard to pick a favorite! I love the glass column, but I adore the bunny. What delights!

  • 18 years ago

    Thanks everyone! The frog and rabbit are cement that I mosaiced, the Star Tower I made with wire mesh, backer board and glass stars. A Bowling ball, A toy snail that I wire meshed and mosaiced, Butterfly panel is backerboard with a build in stand to set out in the garden, Here is more pics, some before some after, one of the Salmon panel on backerboard that I made my son. Crow is on backerboard. The frog prince is called "Frog Prince> Love Me with all my Warts!"heh heh! He is going to be grouted tomorrow. I use glass and "outdoor" materials for my Garden Art! I Also have been making a bunch of Danglies...

    I love your bowling ball...

    What is the piece standing next to the bowling ball??? Is it a fence board? and what are you going to do with it??

    Lovely stuff! Like so many others, I covet the bunny too. But I really like your bowling ball. I hate to say it folks but I sure get tired of the half marble and penny ones. This is the type I like to see. I like everything but think the fish piece is very cool too. Now where did you find the crown for the frog?

  • 18 years ago

    The crown is just a brass candle holder! I like using anything that looks like it will last a while outside. I just finished making a pedastal for Gypsy Bunny, she's gotta be showcased!lol! And it will be grouted with the grey grout to match. The Frog will get terra cotta grout color, he's just been sealed, to save the marble and hopefully make the terra cotta tiles I used a bit tougher. I like using porceline or slate for projects now, cuz I learned a sad lesson on using ceramics outside and the rain and freezing of the northwest weather destroys it! I did a bird bath with ceramic tile and it's chipping...waaaahhh!!!Here's a pic of the danglies I made from mirror and etc, and the pedestal for Bunny!It's just a cement drain tile with a couple of 8" tiles on each end, and the danglies are to hang out in the trees etc.

    Oh my goodenss Jane! You sure have been busy! Gorgeous everything! I did see some of your stuff on the Mosaic forum but not that frog and snail! Makes this Mom of boys think of, "Frogs and snails and puppy dog tails." Please make a beautiful puppy dog to go with the frog and snail then send the trio to me ASAP!!!!!! =)

    Keep up the good work and keep posting pics!

    Hee Hee! Mimi, you are too funny!!lol! Good idea tho...A Trio!!! I have been thinking of a big project of Little BoPeep and 3 Sheep. Just can't get it out of my mind...

  • 18 years ago

    Those are all fantastic! I especially love the tower and the bb.

  • 18 years ago

    Yup, the tower gets my vote. I think I remember seeing you up in Campbell River, and saw your work in person. The pictures don't do justice to your work.

    Love it.

  • 18 years ago

    Oh my gosh, they're all so beautiful!! You are so incredibly talented, it just boggles my mind! If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the frog...no,the bunny...no, definitely the crow...oh they're all amazing and all my favorites!!

  • 18 years ago

    I love everything!!! The star thing is my favorite!!! That is just beautiful!!!!

  • 18 years ago

    ok, so I want to see a pic of the 'bottle' dolls that are in the pic behind the butterfly mosaic. We are all just starved after the long winter for 'stuff'.

  • 18 years ago

    Ribbit! Ribbit! That's "frog" for just beautiful! I thought I was losing it tho-- everyone talking about a rabbit- and I could not find the rabbit! But finally as I read on! Sorry Mr. Frog-- I gotta go with the bunny for the Purple ribbon! Everything is very cool!

  • 18 years ago

    Great stuff!! Love everything!!

  • 18 years ago

    and that cool work room must be very inspiring!!! Jane, where will you place the tower? It is all way cool...

  • 18 years ago

    Actually I want to do a Garden Art Sale in my yard in a week or two. See if I can get some sold and replenish my bank acct to buy more stuff to play with!!!
