Oh how neat!!! I wish you'd make a pic of each tile so we can see it better, seriously. Y'all did a great job! It's beautiful. ~tenderlee

Thanks Tenderlee. If you would like to see those closer and some of the other glass I have done you can check out my web page. www.mickisglass.co.nr...I had my other daughter set it up for me this summer. I think at least most of the stones are on the site. Micki

Very nice!! That's funny, path you have to walk around!! Some folks sure get crazy ideas don't they. Need to put up a sign, Please don't walk on the grass!! That will really confuse them!!! Seriously tho I think it would be hard for me to walk on your beautiful stained glass, won't it get all scratched up? Jan

Smick, Smick, Smick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How amazing you (and your kids) must be. What a great talent. You may want to put a border on the edges to hold all of the tumbled glass in the area. I can see my husband heading out there with the weed-eater! LOL Just spectacular.

Oooooooo...aaaaaaaaaaah...How pretty! They all look awesome. I'm wondering the same thing sunnyca is ... do they get scratched or cracked from walking on them? I love using stained glass in mosaics because of its consistent thickness and the variety of colors and textures it comes in but I'd be afraid to use it on a stepping stone that would actually get stepped on.

Thank you for all the compliments. We have been walking on it all summer and it doesn't seem to be hurting it so far. I guess if they get messed up we just make some new ones...lol. I did my bathroom and shower floor two years ago and it is holding up pretty well too.

This is just beautiful. What a neat project to do with your kids. Now I have to go check out your website.

VERRRY COOL! What a great project! And it turned out beautifully! Something you can all be very proud of!

OMG, Smickerdoodle! You and your kids have been busy! Awesome stepping stones! And the tumbled glass is such a cool idea...can you tell us how that is done? Is it like using a rock tumbler? That was a hobby for us and kids long time ago. And your shower koi floor is wonderful! thanks for sharing! Jeanne S. You may also want to post on the mosaic site here.

Beautiful! Love those stepping stones. I wouldn't want to step on them either tho :D I'm amazed that it cna be walked on.

beauty-full.... I've never gotten around to making any, one of those things on my list.

Good job. I love it.

Oh my that is the most beautiful walk way I've ever seen. TFS.

Such a unique walk way! It is gorgeous! You and your kids did a wonderful job.

Thank you all again for the compliments. Jeannespines it is kind of like rock tumbling...but on a much larger scale. I have a cement mixer. I put the broken glass along with some sandbox sand in it and turn it on...and walk far away (it is kind of loud) for a few hours. I get the bottles from the local bars who save them for me. I can break up 3-5 cases of bottles at a time to fill the mixer. It is actually very threraputic if you are have a stressful day.

What a beautiful path you created! It must be such a pleasure to stroll down! I'm going to check out your website so that I can get a better look at each one. You should be so proud!!

Awesome. Those are simply amazing. Thanks for sharing them.

You are so talented...Love the stepping stones...

Gorgeous!!
The word talent lies only in my dreams!!

You are gifted. Gorgeous Work! This idea can also be created with Sea Pottery and/or Sea Glass, as well. I have designed mirrors using both and was quite pleased with the result, however, I must say, your stepping stones are outstanding.

I like that idea of a cement mixer and breaking up bottles as a stress reliever '-)

It turned out very nicely and what a wonderful way to spend time with your kids.

We are now in the empty nest thing and my therapeutic stress reliever is walking the beaches looking for sea glass. I use it mainly in jewelry (wire wrapped) but know a lot of folks are always looking for ways to use it in craft projects, be it naturally found on the beaches or making it the way you did (well NOT in a cement mixer but a rock tumbler).

Below is a link to other craft projects using sea glass that is regularly updated. We'd love to hear from you about your projects with sea glass.

Happy crafting.

That is a lovely pathway. You do beautiful stained glass work!

I need some advice. I recent ly purchased a Lortone Rock Tumbler from an estate sale. There was no booklet or markings on the tumbler. I downloaded this from the Lortone website. My problem is replacing the rubber boot gasket. The old one resembled a flat, warped frisbee. I bought the 2 new one and I'm having a devil of a time getting them on the inner lid. Finally finished that but now I can't get the inner lid w/boot in the barrel. I ran it for a few days with the old gaskets but they were in such bad shape. I can't even tap the lid into the barrel groove with a hammer. What am I doing wrong?? I watched a video on U-tube and the lid just popped right in. I want to cry. I an so frustrated!!! The are no local places for me to take the tumbler for help. The closest is 75 miles away. Please help me. Thank you

I wish I could help you...I use a cement mixer for all of my tumbling. It doesn't have a lid of any kind...

WEIRD! I cannot see this picture. It is saying that it has been deleted or moved.

Sorry I reorganized my photobucket albums...try this.
