So I am laid up, recovering from surgery, and finally cleaned up my Art room!! That inspired me to get some new Garden art made, so I had this idea for a while, (was behind a horse trailer that had a bumper sticker that said"I Whisper...but they don't listen"lol!!)so finally got working on it, just have to paint the frame now...used old 70's stained glass, glued to the window, then grouted. It will hang on my covered deck, so when I go out to look at (future) fish pond, I can enjoy this too!!!

    oh, poor forlorn little dog....

    great art work!
    it's fun to see your posts and I miss being around to see more of all what's going on but that's starting to change rapidly now.

    do I still have a 'rain check' kindof invitation to ever come up to the island?..I still really do want to.

    That turned out beautifully! Love the color choices, etc. Hope you're feeling much better and can get out soon!

    Ya, full hysterectomy...hollowed me out like a pumpkin!lol! Hey Strawberry...you get that inspection done and head over here to celebrate...we'll go junking!!!heh heh! Here's a pic of my "GrandPuppy" that I got stuck raising when his Mom(DD) moved to an apartment, I have a bed in the livingroom so I can watch tv!lol! It's also deluxe, I can raise the foot and head, and vibrate/message!!! Puppy(Sid Vicious) sure likes it! As you will notice....

    Very cute. Sorry about your surgery. Though I must admit that once I recovered from mine, I felt SO much better! Hopefully it'll work that way for you, too!

    Love your stain glass puppy AND the sign. My daughter and family just got some baby chicks and my son-IL comes home from work and picks them up one at a time and talks to them to socialize them. They quuiet right down when he picks them up, so we've started calling him the chicken whisperer!

    Here is another project I did this week, it is an old 80's? lampshade that just screamed to be mosaiced...I plan to get a pole/stem for it and put a solar light inside the flower and maybe find some similar lampshades and make a grouping of these.

  • 16 years ago

    Great projects, calamity_j! I had to chuckle to see Sid Vicious lying comfortably under the covers like it is HIS bed. lol! I hope he lets you lie in it sometime so you can quickly recuperate from your surgery.

  • 16 years ago

    Two great projects!
    Love what you did with the flower.
    I hope you mend quickly! Keep making lots of art while you are home.

    Just finished this GOG, used some really pretty green agates and the pic doesn't show just how gorgeous the pink glass goes with agate colors!!! It's amazing how hourding this scrape 1/4inch glass and drilling a few holes in it, can transform it eh?!!!






















  • 16 years ago

    calamity...are you sure you're sick & re-cooperating???? You are just creating so many awesome mosaics! The lampshade is awesome & hope the solar light works out for you! ...and this pink & agate colors is so pretty! Keep getting better & keep creating & sharing pics! Love it! Jeanne S.

    dang girl....I wanna be your neighbor..lol
    there's a lady from the island you're on, coming to Olympia this week..I don't think she's as far north as you but she's coming to the state porcelain show in town.
    it's about 3 miles from my house, at a big ol' hotel..
    gonna be a lot of people from Idaho, Oregon, Montana, maybe Calif and now Canada..
    it's Thursday, Friday and most the day of Saturday. I was over at my instructor's house this afternoon/evening..had dinner with them and while we were watching tv, I worked on half a dozen tea caddies and then a 9" plate for the show..it's an underwater painting, with a mess of sea shells and water plants..gonna have lots of turquoise, greens and pecan colors in it...tomorrow I'll do some pen work on it, to define lines of shells.
    I was happy with as much as I got done tonight..

    Here is my Pineapple project....I seem to be wanting to work with all this old 70's glass I have stashed away! And the topper is a Italian Murano glass art that mustabeen dropped cuz it has damage, but I "reclaimed" it cuz it's good enough for garden art!!! This will be 2 ft tall and light up at night!!!

    that is so cool.........

  • 16 years ago

    is that a pane of glass you used?

  • 16 years ago

    Gosh, I'm with Jeanne, are you really recuperating? lol I love both the stain glass with agate piece and your pineapple. I can't wait to see it when it is finished! Keep those pictures coming!

  • 16 years ago

    Yup, I cut up a pane of glass with my stained glass tools...diamond shaped, then painted a tip of the diamond shape with a goldy brown mix of paint, then siliconed it onto the vase, allowing room for the grout. I think DH really likes thisone! It's gonna be for him!(His fav fruit), and gotta run some more outdoor outlets to the yard so I can install a light to light this one up at night!!! Can you imagine looking out and seeing a giant pineapple all lit up?! Cool!!!

  • 16 years ago

    WOW I've never been a fan of mosaics but you are changing my mind. They are all beautiful.tfs
    Get well soon. I know you will feel much better. Been there done that!!
