18 years ago

This is a Christmas gift for my Dad. It's a shadow box, and I'm going to put a light inside it.

{{!gwi}}

As you can tell....I don't follow patterns very well......

feels to confined, that's another reason "stained glass"

is so hard for me!

I even checked my spelling on my subject this time!!haha

I always forget to look at that!

    Hazie, How beautiful. I never knew that stained glass could look so 3-D. The fence is amazing. You are the awesome one! Oh the bird and flowers are just incredible too! WWWWWOOOOOOWWWW!!

    You could get a ticket for speeding along like this. Boy, oh, boy, do you EVER have your creativity in gear again. It's so good to see you back at work/play. This is gonna be a wonderful piece.

    Oh my goodness... it's beautiful!
    There is so much for me to learn by just looking at your work! The way you have chosen the lines in the glass to create the 3-d look on the posts, boards and stones, etc. We live in the woods... love the birds... and one day.. I would like to use a pattern similar to this.

    Now... very important... would I be right that you used both a saw (Taurus) and grinder in creating this??? (Looking for reasons to invest $in those things. :)

    Fabulous gog!! You ARE getting as fast as Queen Slow!!! Very interesting and informative to see how you are adapting the pattern as you go to accommodate both your style and mosaics vs. leaded stained glass! Makes me wanna try one, too!

    Great job Hazie!! I love use of glass to create the 3-D!! Your Dad is going to love it

    Google has a spell checker if you download the toolbar. It works, but you have to remember to use it LOL. As you can tell from my posts, it doesn't always help!!

    Thanks everyone. I've been staying up till all hours the last few days, trying to get things done. So glad hubby and DD can sleep through all the grinding and sawing!

    Fiddlekate.... I couldn't live without my grinder. The saw
    is only needed for a few cuts. When you start using patterns
    the saw is a must. You just can't make some cuts without it.

    Calamity......
    I was thinking a lamp kit with the appliance bulb.
    I haven't looked to see what's out there yet. I was going to try a string of christmas lights first, and see how well that works.

    WOW...are you on a roll, or WHAT? I can't believe the number of BEAUTIFUL projects you've accomplished lately!
    And this is going to be another gorgeous one. Wow - I'm loving it!!

    It's funny - several lately have apologized for spelling errors - and I didn't even notice them. I think sometimes you know what the word is going to be and your eye just sees what it's supposed to be - like grout instead of grount (or something like that)....I know what it's supposed to be - so no big deal!!

  • 18 years ago

    Beautiful Hazie,and your dad will be so lucky and happy to get it from you.Bet you get a BIG hug for this one.Well slow may be the mosaic queen but I'm the misspelled champ LOl,mainly because of my typing and not taking time to check what I've typed remember my tweesors and my buddah...ha ha!

  • 18 years ago

    Hazie...look at you go!!!! That is so pretty. It is nice to see you doing some GOG. It is up to your usual standards EXCELLENT!!! Is it out of any special pattern book?? Are you going to grout it?

    Your Dad will love it!!! You are so far ahead for the Christmas gifts..Im still in the planning stage...looking for supplies for what I want to do!!!

    Chickee......It's a Terra pattern. I'm grouting black. I grout almost everything black these days! I need to look for a different green to fill in, the one I got is too close to some of the leaves. So it's on the back burner
    for now, and the torso is up next.

    Hazie, what a BEAUTIFUL gog! What a wonderful present. Might have to think about that for a gift - someday.

    That is absolutly gorgous!!! Speaking of Christmas lights, have you thought about the rope lights? I think you might get a more even coverage with that. But then, they are quite bright.... Can't wait to see the back ground filled in!

  • 18 years ago

    That is just beautiful!!!

  • 18 years ago

    I'm a big fan of Terra!!! My peacock is terra! How big is your shadow box????

  • 18 years ago
