tp tower done!

19 years ago

Finally and at long last...this has been sitting waiting to be grouted for weeks, but it's finally done. I painted the inside to match the bathroom wall.

    You do really nice work. I saved the pic of the top, I want to do a dragonfly on a stepping stone and this will give me something to look at. What kind of glass did you use for the wings?

  • 19 years ago

    Awesome work. I love the flower!

  • 19 years ago

    WOW! What a FABULOUS design You know when I first looked at it I thought, "it reminds me of SLOW's work!" You do good work LADY! And it good to see you are NOT afraid of color. Rock on!!!!

    Oooh, so nice! I'm determined to do a dragonfly on something!

    Thank you, thank you, everyone! I'm so glad you all like it. I enjoyed making it, though it did seem to take me forever to get it finished. (Not as long as the sink though!)

    SLOW: YOU are my inspiration! In fact, one of your pieces has been the wallpaper on my computer for weeks, to inspire me on this project. Hope you don't mind!

    LILYM: I googled "dragonfly clip art" to get an idea on the dragonfly. The eyes are two glass globs that were already fused together. The body pieces are elongated globs. I have no idea what the glass for the wings is called. I just get scraps of stained glass from a SG store, so I never know what I get. The glass is bumpy textured, and irridized. It did seem perfect for the wings.

    Thanks again, ALL of you!

    WOW!!! I feel so blessed to have been able to see this all from the begining!!! To where it is now!! WOW! A stunning bathroom! DH did the floor? It looks like another Hubby masterpiece!!! OVER THE TOP!!! Take a bow!!!

  • 19 years ago

    Goodness girl you are a real pro!!!!!!!The design and colors are beautiful and with your sink WOW! What are the clear swirls on your sink pedestal?What a good job!!Annie

    Thank you again!
    BIANCHI: No, I didn't make it. My mom gave it to me quite a while back. It used to be painted to look like a lighthouse, and there was another piece on top shaped like the top of a lighthouse that I removed. It also had a lighthouse shaped cutout wired to the door. When we moved the theme of my bathroom changed dramatically!

    JANE: Yes, DH did the floor, his own design using I think four kinds of tile. Yep, he's over the top ;)

    ANNIE: The swirls...I drew the bottom swirl, drilled a hole in the middles and cut it out in one piece with a jigsaw. (I used that cutout piece flipped over to draw the one done in SG). Then I put a full piece of mirror behind the cutout swirl. Then the whole thing is epoxied which makes it very shiny. I can't seem to find the thread(s) which followed the process, but I'll keep looking, if you're interested. Thanks for asking.

    That is great looking, and wow at your bathroom pics too!

  • 18 years ago

    It's always a jolt to see one of my own old threads pop back up :)

    I took this project to Texarkana to see if it might sell. I don't mind that it didn't, since we have been USING it for the past 10 months or so! ;) Still a fun project!

  • 18 years ago

    I think I missed the finished tp holder, I remember you starting it.....It looks awesome and it matches your sink so perfectly, I love the dragonfly too!

  • 18 years ago

    Wow! Thanks, Crystal01, for bumping this up...I had
    not seen it and it is sooo COOL!!!
    Since this is a almost a year old, is your bathroom
    finished? I LOVE what you did with the sink!
    So bright and colorful and happy!

  • 18 years ago

    WOW!!! I'm lovin' what I see!!! Paisley and dragonflies - two designs I adore!! Thanks for the inspiration!

  • 18 years ago

    LOve this.....missed it the first go around!

  • 18 years ago

    Saw this in person and it is beautiful!!!!

  • 18 years ago

    Thanks again.

    CINDILOO: Nope, it is right at the same stage you see it in the photo. I have the pvc pipe that I want to use to make a faux pedestal to cover the plumbing, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

    CPANNIE: I still think it is just the coolest thing that we have met in person. Those are some of the best memories I have made in a long time!

  • 18 years ago

    Stunning!!! I love how you did the dragonfly!

  • 18 years ago

    Y'all oughta see this in person - oh, and her dragon fly stepping stone is something to behold. The technique was fabulous. Post it on this thread again, Ron.

  • 18 years ago

    Just for you :)

  • 18 years ago

    I LOVE that stepper. Those wings look so real, and the way you did the leaf impression under it is sooooo nice. Beautiful - all over again.
