Annie, those pieces are beautiful! It sure would be hard to choose one for the auction. Very nice work! I think I like the grape items because I like the striking contrast in your colors. But that snail is adorable; I love that irridized glass!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! You have a very lucky granddaughter.
Good luck with all of the pieces. I hope you get to keep some of them at least.

Maria

What a wonderful thing to donate your gorgeous pieces to the auction! I know your Granddaughter will be proud! :)
They are all lovely!
My absolute favorite... if I had to choose one... is the flower pot with the green rim and the 3-D flowers!
Loved seeing all of them! You are an inspiration, Annie!!!

Stunning i love them all.

Annie, those are so great. That pedistal and pot with the grape theme belongs at my house!! I'm going to have to borrow your marble grape idea. They are just beautiful all of them!

Wow! Your granddaughter is so lucky to have a grandma like you! She is going to be so proud to show off your work. I wish I could bid on them. I agree with Maria; I NEED a snail now, too!! (probably should get my other stuff done first, though)

Spectacular all!!!! I couldn't choose between them - I was certain I liked the red set most but then,,, wow the blue..

and man that red snail is the AWESOME - EST... is that a word, maybe this calls for "amamazing"

Annie I love your work and it's too hard to choose!

Yep, that snail is THE BOMB!! All the pieces are just great though.
Dang Annie. You are the best Grandma EVER.

Annie
Love the wine colored set most! And the choice of flowers could not have been more perfect!

As always though all your work is professional. ~: )

I remember when you started working on your grape pedestal! Your stuff is fantastic...I'd have a hard time deciding which set to auction. Loving the snail too...it's so cute!!!!!

Thanks everyone very kind words...the snails were the first pieces I've had to use twissors to pick up glass but liked the way the turned out,and were worth the time it took to do them all.Thanks again for letting me share with all of you talented artist!

Are twissors a twirley tweezer???!!! Say that 3 times fast!! All kidding aside I thought your stuff was really fantastic!!! The colors go so great together. Its gonna be hard to choose which ones to go to auction!!!

Chickee...I thought that word didn't look right LOL..I spent so much time doing pictures my tonque got twisted LOL

Yes, your granddaughter is going to be so proud of her talented grandmother. Please let us know how the auction does. Well, you have inspired me; I have a ceramic snail in the garage that I bought many years ago to mosaic; I shall now go rescue her from the shelf where she has languished for so long and I shall MOSAIC her. Thank you!

Oh, CRACK - those are fabulous pieces. No way could I pick a favorite, but I LOVE the way you place the tiles on the blue/white finial. LOVE your work!

Oh, Annie....how absolutely WONDERFUL!!!

I agree with hrsg - "all your work is professional" - it really is!!

I love how you add the little birds, etc., to your pieces - it's such a neat finishing touch. You've inspired me to look for little "toppers", but so far I haven't had much luck - but I'll keep trying. I especially love the birds on top of the snail and the blue and white finial.

Everything is just gorgeous - but ya know what I like the very, very best? The SNAIL! OMG....what a wonderful job you did. That is exquisite!! I also have a snail that's been sitting on a shelf. I'd like to say you've inspired me to start working on it, but I'm afraid you might have intimidated me - not sure mine would turn out anywhere NEAR that great!!! :)

oh, and that blue and white finial....OMG - I just love it. Wow. And the bird and flower on top - PERFECT!

Always LOVE looking through your album. You are truly an inspiration!!!

Come on, Lyndalu, let's me and you both mosaic our snails and post pictures! I'm starting mine tomorrow morning.

Hi Crackpotannie,
As usual these last pieces are all wonderful I just love the snails!!! Funny because I do NOT love snails in my garden but there are not many where we live now. Going to have to look for one to mosaic.

I do not think I could pick a favorite of all of them. Your workmanship is so perfect and I just love the colors you use. I hope they bring big bucks at the auction.

E-gads...somehow I almost missed this post? Annie, WOW.......I love the pedestal and the ball just goes perfect with it!!! The snail is so sweet.........!! I really like the little extra touches with birds and flowers...makes them so unique and beautiful for the eye tp see...I love your technqiue..very professional and fun.....Your granddaughter has to be so proud of you!!!!!!!

silvamae - ha! I just went out to the garage and pulled my snail down from the shelf. I don't know why I'm not getting that "vibe" about what to do to it....but I'll try!

gypsy - so glad you didn't miss the post - Annie is amazing, isn't she? I saw the post earlier, and didn't have time to comment, and when I came back tonight, I had a tough time finding it - it was already on page 2! Very active day on the forum!!!

annie - I forgot to say - it's the snail with the maroon bird on top that I like the very, very best!

Thank you again...and glad you dragged your snails out.They were really fun and yours will both be spectacular like all you do too!!!Thanks gypsy I knew you'd find it if not I'd have e-mailed you LOL I never feel quite up to par when looking at all of yours but hey we all kinda feel that way about our own pieces right?You always make me feel better about my things tho...

Those are breathtaking !!! The colors are just awesome !
all I can say is wow ..........
