A Lot of Drilling

19 years ago

Here's the 3 "Visions" I had for this scrap glass, Gotta go buy some black grout, but the drilling is time consuming as this is 1/4inch glass. I'm using stained glass to dangle on these, but I want to do something with rocks hanging down eventually, like I saw in Mexico.

    Very nice! Love the colors and the danglies. What are you gonna use to hang them with?

  • 19 years ago

    Really cool project ! I love it ! YOu have more patience than I do drilling all those holes !

  • 19 years ago

    I finally found some agate. $6 a piece. I decided that I would have to have a specific project in mind and not just buy to have on hand. I love these and i vote for no grout. BUT, things always turnout looking different in pictures. You're obviously the best judge!

    These are downright awesome. I don't know how you turn thing out so fast lately, girlie. You're really on a roll. These are soooooooo colorful. Think the woodsy one is my fav, - hard to pic, though. Those jewel tones are yummy. BEAUTIFUL.

    Janie,
    those are so pretty. Do we call you the master driller now? I have never tried to drill a hole. Now it is going to be a must try thing. I am so loving the danglies. What is the tree in the center made of?

    Thanks! I found fused glass that has the trees at a thrift store and always thought I'd add some beads and be done with it. But then I thought of using iy on this scrap glass and TaDa! When I go thrift storing or garage sailing, I try to keep a look out for agates and such cuz they can be pricey, I've paid 3 and 4 dolars for some of these. I have them hanging by 15lb fishing line, not the best but if I find some nice wire I'll switch. Hindsight, I'd be more careful with the silicone showing up. Well, I'm done all my projects, it's wierd, not having a bunch on the go. I actually went outside and did some yard work, boy, when you sit in an aircondioned house all day you get climatized! I've about melted from the heat!!!

    Those are absolutely incredible!! What was I thinking about voting for no grout?!? I must not have had my V8 today.

  • 19 years ago

    Good grief! I just didn't realize how the grout would set them off! They are wonderful!!!
    When I started looking at... and thinking about making mosaic type projects several months ago.. I just didn't realize the huge variety! This kind of GOG is another spectacular example!

  • 19 years ago

    Eating my words too. They look fantastic with grout!!

    Very nice job

    I love your GOG projects. Do you use a special drill and bit to drill glass? Beautiful work.

    Thanks for the information on the tree center. What a GREAT find. In all my TS shopping I have found one agate. It is HUGE so I use it for a coaster on our coffee table. There is also a little flaw in it. Was dropped or?? Do they dye the agates to get the bright colors or? I wonder if they would fade over time in the sun?
