18 years ago

Whoo Hoo!!! All the materials for ideas that have been percolating in my brain are all appearing at once!!! I found a place that sells hardware cloth by the foot(more Riana ideas and a CROWN!!),($20):A string of Christmas lights for my glass block pathway lights(.25), a 30lb box of green 2" porceline tile for a few frogs($3), A mirrored shower door for a GOG($2)!!!! Oh, and a pic of the back of the butterfly cuz somebody was curious...want to make a plaque with that and one with the crow...SHEESH! Spring Has Sprung!!! That's 8 projects right there!!! Who needs a girbil wheel, just get crazy over projects! LOL!

    Gosh, I'm on fire with Inspiration! Here is what the butterfly project is morphing into!!! A stand up plaque, made from cement board with a pc of cement board at the back to sorta tripod it? (Will be attaching it when I've done the plaque.) I've mortared tiles and butterfly onto this cement board, gotta wait till it dries, don't know how long that will take as it's at least 1/4" thick under the butterfly. Then touch up the purple metallic paint and silicone the purple glass mini globs to it and grout black. Pics are backwards....?

    Dear Calamity: This is an intervention..no more coffee for you! LOL!!! OMG..you are on F-I-R-E!!
    The flutterby and crow are wonderful! I liked the crow before, but now he is more presentable! Those purple globs look soooo cool with the flutterby...the creative muse has hit you hard...dare say, smacked you upside the head even!! You go girl!

    Lordy, child. You make me want to play today instead of bake. These are fabulous projects. I LOVE your idea of a stand for your butterfly, which turned out amazingly, BTW. And the crow. You are REALLY on fire, and I hope you keep this up. Just think of how many pieces you can have for a one-woman show. Have you considered advertising for a yard sale of art? You could invite KLINGER and another artist to join y'all for a combined show. You have some wonderful pieces. Can you tell I want you to sell for the TX trip?

    I attached the back to the butterfly panel, still gotta reinforce it more, so started on this little squirrell, mortaring rocks on it. And this bunny is getting the bling treatment! I'm calling it " The St John Gypsy Bunny" Inspired by guess who? ha!

    Dang women. What crawled up on you and bit ya?? You getting lots done. I love that crow. We call my sister crow i might have to make something like that for her christmas present. Everything is so cool looking.

  • 18 years ago

    Oh, GREAT BALLS OF FIRE, CALAM!!! That is for sure a GYPSIE-like bunny. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. This is probably my all-time favorite of your latest projects!!! Oh, how I wish I could see this in person. You have some wonderful pieces of jewelry on her. FABULOUS job. Oh, forgive my stupid question on her name - I had missed it in your posting.

    Un believable!!!!!!!!!! I don't check this site for a couple of days and there you are tearing the place up!!

    Love that bunny. Love all your stuff but the buuny is last thing I looked at so first thing on my mind. But question... just how hard is something like that to grout? I want WIP pics of grouting PULEEEEEEEEZ I gotta see how you master it!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Love the bunny and all his bling!

  • 18 years ago

    Gypsy Bunny is looking good! Yeah, I like the mirror, too.
    It will really make her sparkle and shine!!
    I, too, am wondering about the grouting...be sure and share your tips!

  • 18 years ago

    Speaking of grouting...I was laying there at 5:30 this morning thinking about how to grout the Crow and butterfly panels. I want to grout both of them in black, but not the crow section, so will have to tape it off to protect it...and go slow so I'm not my usual sloppy self. And the butterfly panel, I want to even skim coat the back, plus try not to get any on the actual butterfly...looks like I'll tape some of the jewelry on Gypsy Bunny too. I'm thinking grey grout for Bunny and the Squirrell, black.
