WIP Globe

19 years ago

Well, I've been soooo ambivalent about this project, it seems so plain jane, yet that's what I envisioned when I decided to do it. And the colors remind me of a green tomato meets Bozo The Clown?!!! But saying that, I envisioned a sacred heart theme with flames and to keep it very simple as to show off the theme with a thick grout line defining each area. I am trying for a particular look when it is lit up...so here it is, nuthin' as nice as everybodies stuff as of lately....did I mention black grout?

    That's exactly the first thing that entered my mind!! A big Christmas ball! Very cheerful and pretty!!!

  • 19 years ago

    I think it will be fabulous with black grout and lit from inside??

    Excellent!

  • 19 years ago

    Yup, will look FABULOUS displayed at the holidays...maybe on a hutch or just in a corner near a fireplace set in a gold charger with some mini lights to show it off...

    I love it, looks like a fruit of the boob flower. Beautiful but deadly! LOL

  • 19 years ago

    I like it i think it will look great once you get it grouted.

  • 19 years ago

    I likes it Calamity! The black grout will really make it pop.
    I can't wait to see it electified!!

  • 19 years ago

    Calam, that is very attractive and I'm sure even more so with the lighting. I have to agree that I thought of a Christmas ornament. I think it will be a great decoration!

  • 19 years ago

    Oh, so THAT's why you've been quiet lately. Very nice, CALAM. Your bum leg hasn't held you back at all, it seems, and you're still doing quality work. WONDERFUL.

  • 19 years ago

    Yep, I was thinking Christmas ball too. It will be cool when it is grouted black and lit up.

    YES, YES, I remember that Jane. Have loved it from the beginning! I have to get "out of the box" and think about stuff as substrate and tesserae. I have been missing the boat and passing up serious potentional out there!!

    That pic of your ankle makes mine hurt!! Wishing you speedy recovery!!! Love your "christmas-y like sphere!

  • 19 years ago

    OOOOHHHHH OUCH!!!!! I can't believe your ankle is still that bruised! I've never heard of an air cast before, no wonder your foot bothers you if you don't keep it propped up!
