OK, the cat.. and 2 wip

19 years ago

Thanks Nicethyme !!You got me going on the cat!!

Getting down to the wire on this thing only a few fill in spots left. Hopefully grout and some painting with a small craft brush will make it look less like something out of a bad 60's horror movie!LOL

I finally filled in the backround for the flower I cut with my ring saw. Just needs grout Cut a bunch of yellow, my stepdaughter thought it was a container of potato salad. ...entirely too food-oriented around here!

This is the frame I did for my friend. I want to do dark blue for grout

    here kitty, kitty, kitty

    see now, give a cat a face and it smiles! good for you and OH LA LA I really like that flower. Frame's pretty too

    Very good - kitty's almost finished. Love how you did the bow. Man, that's a thick plate (the white). What color are ya gonna grout it?

    Cute frame - love the blue & white. In the picture, it doesn't look like you have enough room for grout!

    oh yeah, flower is pretty, too!

    Thanks everyone! Thanks for the motivation NT!!

    lyndalu- for some ODD reason, I thought it would be cool to do the cat with ceramic tiles. One of those "WHAT was I thinking" moments. I grouted a small part on the back and it actually doesn't look bad. It'll take a ton of grout though.I'm doing it white and hoping the dark spots end up looking a little striped.You can see a little in the 3rd picture

    I painted the frame dk blue. I wasn't sure how I was going to do the sides. There's plenty room for grout. I'm hoping to get the grout about the same color as the paint. Or thinking about it, maybe I'll just use the same paint on the grout.

    Well isn't that the cat's meow Maria! Your flower looks really great, I like how the petals are solid pieces of glass and so funny about the potato salad!!! The mirror is going to look nice once it's grouted.

    I can't believe you are working in the garage in all this heat & humidity, or did you break down and move into the house to work?

    Love that kitty! Pink in the ears... cranberry bow... and green eyes... it's going to be VERY cute! I'm interested to see that pretty blue frame grouted. I've been wanting to try something with pottery instead of glass and that looks very appealing! Nice job!

    OK. Can I just say something? I freakin' LOVE that cat!!! It totally looks like something I would do and take and display in my fifth grade classroom at school. And then they would all bug the art teacher to do something similar. I think a charcoal grout would be awesome! The flower is terrific! I didn't think potato salad...then again I am pretty picky about my potato salad...so...eh. I like it. It is a rose? It's very pretty. The picture frame is great, too! You've been busy!! Great job(s)!

    Barb, I work in the garage in the evening when the sun is on the other side of the house. That's why I'm not getting a whole bunch done

    I got the pattern from Chantal's stained glass site

  • 19 years ago

    does that make the cat a hermaphrodite?

  • 19 years ago
