my 13 year old says it's a little "cartoon-y"...and well, I kinda just wanted something colorful and fun. Here's what I have so far... (this will be hung on my porch across from a bench swing)

  • 19 years ago

    Oh I love it too...may have to borrow your idea reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy pretttttttttttttttty Annie

  • 19 years ago

    i wouldnt call it cartoonish i like it alot are you going to fill in the middle cause i think leaving it open would give it a unique quality JMO

    I love suns. Any shape any size. Very tranquil feeling. I like this a lot.

    You do nice work.

    OH LISA: BRAVO, CLAP, CLAP, CLAP. That is soooooo delightful. Absolutely the happiest little window I've seen! What a great idea on the birdbath!

  • 19 years ago

    I love that! Your birdbath idea turned out just perfect!

  • 19 years ago

    Thank you for all the nice comments! I do plan to fill in the whole thing, but I may try taking Shelly's advice and leaving part undone on my next window. I have all this bright aqua blue glass that I'm dying to use for that sky and I need more stuff on the land part in the background...having too much fun to stop now!

    My kids and I sit out on that swing a lot...hoping this will add something cheery to look at while we're out there.

    Lisa, that is looking good! You did a great job on the birdbath! Not cartoony at all!

  • 19 years ago

    I love the birdbath. And are those hollyhocks? no cartoons, it is great.

  • 19 years ago

    Had to come take another look!! What about a bunny or some birds too, or butterflies, bees, oh man it is just so adorable, I Love It!!!

  • 19 years ago

    I think I messed up...the bottom half of this this is so busy which leaves the top half looking kinda blah. bummer.

    Not completely finished with glueing as you can see.

    No, I don't think so! Looks great to me.

  • 19 years ago

    I don't think you messed it up at ALL! I like the flow from detail to less at the top... makes it more interesting to me!
    Can't wait to see it finished!

  • 19 years ago

    It's awesome and I'm glad you added some flying things, maybe a bird too! It is just soooo adorable!!!

  • 19 years ago

    Looks good to me, too. If you look at stained glass panels a lot of them are busy at the bottom and less at the top.

    Crackpotannie, no pattern...I just cut, nip, glue and slap 'em on...lol. Then I'm stuck with however it looks.Thanks for the nice compliments!

    Lisa, that is so pretty! I love your color choices.

    I sent you an email, not sure it worked via GW.

  • 19 years ago

    Lisa that is beautiful! DH really likes it too, says it reminds him of a Monet.

  • 19 years ago

    it turned out great

  • 19 years ago

    Really nice piece of work, Lisa. To me, thirteen year olds are just hormones on feet, but your kid is kind of right-- cartoons use simple shapes, as do mosaics. So he's not really wrong... but if he said it with the usual thirteen year old 'tude, give him a "pfffft!" from me. ;-)

    Love those colors!
