    You did ALL this is in a week? When do you sleep and eat and all that? I LOVE your light blocks and that tray is just so pretty! The mirrors and the frames are all great, too!

    ALL IN A WEEK!! Holy Crap Gretch!......It's all so wonderful. Love it all....but that tray really grabbed me.
    I like how you used clear glass so the silver will show through. I hope you have better luck with the glue drying than I do.......I had to wait months on one project.Really great work Gretch.

    Gretch, these are all beautiful! The tray is definitely my favorite, and those glass blocks are gorgeous!!! What kind of glue are you using? I've only used GEII (and thinset) so anything else is foreign to me.

  • 18 years ago

    I love the glass blocks, I love the stars, & I love the tiger. OK, I love them all. Can't wait to see grouted.

    Well GOOD GRIEF! I can't believe you got all that accomplished in a week. Did you have all the pieces cut b/f you started? I know that makes such a difference in speed, but cutting as I go really slows me down. I LOVE that tray, and I LOVE the green on the last frame. What is it? BEAUTIFUL WORK.

    I used mosaic adhesive from hobby lobby on some and i also use loctite glue and tile adhesive on things. But all of these were the mosaic adhesive.
    The tray i sure hope it drys clear or i'm tearing it off and just gluing the sides.

    And y'all commented on how quickly I work? ZIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP - that was Gretch zooming right past me~ lol.

    Hon - I'd be hard pressed to chose a favorite - they are all beautiful pieces! Great job and I can't wait to see them grouted :-)

    Geeeeezzz! One week? That is amazing, love the blocks, and all the other stuff. I have to look at it again, since you did so many. Way to go!
    Now comes "The Grouting Week"!

    WOW, Gretch! They are all beautiful! I think the glass blocks are my favorite!

  • 18 years ago

    BEAUTIFUL things, Gretch! WOW! CAn't wait to see them after grouting. The blue and green frame... definitely my colors! All of it is super... particularly like the light boxes though. Thanks for the closeups!
    What kind of glue do you use? Sure is crystal clear!
