Very cool...how the heck do you slap something like this together tho? Just amazes me.
Good job, love it.

hugs, Karen

Fantastic! Everyone you know will be wanting one (me,me,me,me,me) hahaha just kiddin' Very nice Gem Bug! ~tenderlee

It took about 15 minutes to make - I had everything on hand ! LOL
I just made a hanging spider to hang from the screen .
I'm not a big fan of spiders ,so this one will hang out of my view ...

You just learned to weld from your son and now you are going to town! Very cute.

This is just soldered with my stained glass equipment. Maybe I should weld a HUGE one .......hhhmmmmm....

LOL

You just "slapped" it together.....too funny!! It's a darned good slap too!!

Way to go!!!!! Carol is so excited about what you created and sent you an e-mail, asking questions! You inspired her!!!!!!!!! Bear Hugs! Kirk

WAY TO GO GIRL!!!!!! YOU ARE "TOO MUCH"!!!!!!!!!

We need a complete tutorial. What surface do you work on? I have the supplies but maybe not the ability....we'll have to see. I might could make big fat ticks and put them on my doggies collars. LOL (They said, "not funny mom".)

How Cute is that!!!!!?????

I bet you could make a HUGE one by using a larger bowl or plate for the body and a smaller one for the head.

Geez......I really need to do some junkin'! This whole working full time while raising kids is cramping my style!!!

Don't let her fool ya folks!!! Soldering those legs on is Talent!!! Especially when you are trying not to melt the came!!! Good job TMG!!! Now how about a centipede?!!!!

I love em. I don't own a soldering gun, but am seriously thinking that I need to buy one. These bugs are too cool.

Kat

Well, we need to see the spider,too!!! The ladybug is so cute!!Jan

I have a soldering gun and soder but havn't tryed them yet. Please give a step by step...

I can "try" to give a step by step with pics - but it'd be a long post. Jane -- a centipede ? I almost spit my coffee out reading that ! LOL

Ok then i'll ask a few questions...Did you use like the copper foil to stick the soder to? and are the legs and wings ect make out of soder as well??

That's so cute! And to do it in 15 minutes!? Wow! good job! It would be so cute to have several crawling up a flower pot.

toomuchglass, are you going to be selling those at your booth at the farmer's market? Because I will have to take a day off and head down to Burlington to buy a few! They are too cute!

No -- Kathy , I won't be selling them at the farmers market ! I just made this one for fun . It's so easy ( if you know stained glass ) It's funny how this stuff turns up . I hate to take away anyone's sales , but just looking at it , I know how to make it . I also can estimate the cost of supplies. *sigh* ...... I also know artists work for next to nothing for the pure enjoyment of it.

I guess my post says - support you local artists !

Okay, we will wait for your instructions. I think you and Kirk have started something.

Patiently Waiting.....

So adorable! Guess anything is easy when you know how. I'll be happy to buy some if I find them.
