YS finds/need ideas

17 years ago

Here are the finds from our camping trip/120 mile YS last weekend, we actually only made it about 40 miles. My glass wear averaged about 50 cents each, some were actually free. I love my big finds.I need ideas for the big nature lady lamp.Also, I want to make a pink BB, any ideas how to trans form these two? I was planning on painting the jumping horse to look like a carousel horse, but saw a mosiac one on that forum that is awesome, now I don,t know. I haven't done any mosiac projects yet. DH is going to use the wood bowls for roofs on his hollow logs birdhouse project. {{gwi:177091}} {{gwi:177094}} {{gwi:177098}}

Lots of great stuff here!! You are going to be busy. As for the horse I think it is on "Crafts & Decorations" forum where someone did beautiful redos of those horses. I'll see if I can find it.1 was black & 2nd another color, not sure if she had mosaic or not. Love the little colored plates,great for plate flowers!!Jan

Wonderful finds! I'd love to see dh's bird houses as well as what you make. Here is a link from trash to treasure of carousel horses. My favorite one is further down in the thread, tho I love the zebra too! If you do a search for carousel horse there on t to t, you'll probably find more.

Thanks Kathy, it wasn't on crafts forum but "trash to treasure" & I was just going to post this 1 that you did. There is another 1 where poster had 2 horses that were really beautiful like new carousel horses but I can't find that one. "justlinda" did the 2 on the above post so she probably did the others also. I went over to paining & Tole forum but no luck there either, I think it is on Trash of Treasure but she didn't mention horses in title- I think they were done shortly before or after the zebra post.

OMG ------- I have to wipe the drool from my chin ! You got awesome stuff !!!!!!! I would mosaic that rocking horse in a heartbeat -- then I would take the lights off that chandelier and replace them with cups & saucers ...then I would box the whole lot of it up - and send it to me .....

Wow! What a haul! Love all the great glass and the lady lamp is pretty cool! I'm not sure what I would do with her, but she seems like she'd be a cool bird bath bottom or fountain of some sort! And the lamp would be great with cups/saucers or birdhouses or whatever! Looks like you had a great time!!!

Boy oh boy!! What a haul. I hope I find that much stuff when I do the Hi 36 ys!! Thanks for sharing.
I just had some one offer me a statue and I turned it down not knowing what to do with it. You folks have great ideas. I'd better call and see if she still has it!! TFS

Wonderful finds!

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the horse. DH has now bot me 2 and I have no idea what to do with them. One needs repair and I'm expecting DH to do that when he gets time. I'm thinking decoupage for mine - saw a nice one somewhere but not sure if I saved the pic.

I'm also planning to decoupage my bowling balls, it's way easier for me than mosaic and some people here or on T2T have posted some really nice ones.

I love the lady lamp and would probably use it as a lamp! LOL how creative of me! ;-)

The blue and white bowl is interesting - does it have a maker's mark on the bottom?

Great idea for the wood bowls, I've passed many by as I never knew what to do with them. Might have to buy some for my birdhouses.

I think you may have given me better ideas than I've given you! TFS
