This is just an old amber colored bottle that matched some globs I had...just went with it...lol..

The window is my first attempt at cutting out a pattern. Ugh. It's even more difficult than I thought! And I still have two more to do.

    lisa, glass cutting gets easier I promise!!! The flowers look nice, the one on the bottom right looked so real I had to check it twice.

    Are you going to grout the bottom of the bottle..I think it'll really look great then.

    Chickeemama, Thanks for the encouragment. I'm gonna keep practicing then.
    Yes,I plan to grout the whole bottle...maybe leave the lip at the top though.

    Yep, that's some fancy cuttin' goin' on!
    Nice bottle too.

    OHMYGOODNESS, there's so much depth in that bottom, right flower, it DOES look real. Are you using a ring saw, or nipping? Amazing. LOVE the bottle and the piece behind it.

    I can't wait to see it finished.

    Thanks all!

    Slow, I'm using a glass cutter to cut the flowers out. I WISH I had a saw though!
    Also, the window in the background behind the bottle is just one of those window films you roll out and cut to size. hehe. I put it on a window over my kitchen sink that leads to my laundry room...didn't want everyone seeing my junk in there. lol It works!

    Boyohboy - sure fooled me - looks so real. Your cutting looks like the results of a saw - you're good at this.

    Your flowers look so good Lisa, can't wait to see what the other 2 flowers are going to be. Love the bottle too.

    Love the design on your bottle.
    You did a great job on the flowers, I have a saw and still just use the glass cutter most times. I've been looking for old wood windows for over a year, lucky you!
    Great job Lisa!

    Hazie, Thanks! I have a friend who got all new window on her house. She saved all the old ones and has offered to let me have some! I don't think she has any idea of their value! If your interested, I'll ask if she'd like to sell some. Just let me know.

    Beautiful ! You'll find it gets easier - I promise. WHen people watch me cut & break glass - they GASP ! I'm speedy Gonzales ! It'll come with time .

    Wow great cutting. I can't do that good with a saw ( no practicing ). I'm sorta getting the straight line thing with the cutter LOL.

    The bottle looks good, what a cute idea!!

    Hazie- I was watching one of those design with no money type shows and they got an 8 pane window for $2!!!!!!!!!!
    I gasped. In LA, too! Around here they are about $35!! I wanted one for my shed. but I'm making my own panes and using mirrors!!

    Cute bottle!! Those flowers are terrific!! You chose just the right glass for the petals. Great job!

  • 19 years ago

    I'm amazed by your cutting... (I'm still working on the straight lines myself.. and break more then I cut! :) and... I like the direction of the pattern and colors you chose when you cut the flowers. It's very artistic! Can't wait to see more if it! Love the bottle, too! Cool stuff!

    Very nice, your flowers look wonderful. I know it's hard at first to cut the way you want to but obviously you've got it figured out,that window is going to look great when you're done,
