My accomplishments for the day...lol..

19 years ago

Finally finished cutting out flowers for this window and put a coat of primer on the frame. Will paint later and mosaic the background of the each flower. Dunno what I'm gonna do with the backgrounds yet though...maybe a different color in each?

Oh, it's not mosaic but I did make bread for my daughter who requested it. Feels like I got SOMETHING done today!

    OHGOODGRIEF! Your flowers always look so REAL. WONDERFUL window WIP. Well thanks a LOT - I'm trying to diet and everywhere I look there's temptations!

    Dang, Calamity, you WERE productive! I'm so excited you're working on the peacock. Can't wait to see him in all his glory!

    And, um, is that a light table I see under the peacock? I'm jealous now!

    Lisa: I actually have two light tables, this one is just for Mr Peacock!!! It's nice to have a table under a project to see how it's looking, and I cut on the other one. It makes it a bit crowded in my Art Room but until I get him finished, there they sit.(I've been thinking of getting rid of one but now that I rethink that, I may live with the crowding....)I think that Squirrelly has inspired me lately with her stained glass project. And I also bought this nice metal frame for $7.50 the other day when I was out with Klinger doing a shopping day!

    Calamity, Ok, now I need a light table badly!! I haven't worked with copper foil yet, but I've studied it and am planning to try something small/simple soon. So, you can understand how I'd be so impressed with that magnificent peacock!

    The frame is lovely! Can't wait to see what you do wit it!

    Lisa, those flowers are stunning! Maybe just clear, textured glass in the background would look nice? Really make the flowers the focal point...then again I'm so new to this, what do I know, lol. Can't wait to see it finished whatever you decide. Now I wanna go make bread :)

    Janie, glad to see you working on the peacock again! What a lot of work, it's going to be fabulous when you're done. It's amazing what you can get done on a rainy day with a big mug of Tim Horton's coffee by your side!

    Hey, LISA - why not try abstract designs as a background. The flowers are WONDERFUL, and I can just see some abstract little trails, swirlies, pockets of color. Just my opinion - I'm sure what you decide w/certainly change my mind. Your work is so wonderful.
