Title: Some hokey pics...
Post by Melissa on May 21st, 2009 at 8:34pm
 ;)  ;D

I just had to share the stained glass wedding bells I made for my brother-in-law Mike and his new wife Irma.  Since we weren't there to see them get married, I wanted to make them something special, so here it is!

LOL, I know, I know. [smiley=grin2.gif]

Thank you. :)


BTW, is it normal to catch onto something like this so quickly? :-/

Very nice Melly.  You sure do throw yourself into a project.  Glad to hear you're getting orders for them.

Hugs

It is when crafting is in your blood, and for you Melly, it really is.

Great work.  LOVE the Cardinal BTW.

They look good Mel..... not get started on mine. :)

Jimi, I don't even know where to start because I'm at a loss as to what to make!  You'd have to give me an idea of something YOU like.




BTW, in case anyone is wondering, I did NOT put Linda up to starting the other thread about what I do.  She is just trying to be nice.  Love you Linda.

Art glass! Fused glass! Cameo Glass.....
Robert, we need to talk! These are my weaknesses, and, since I cannot wield a glue gun without fusing my fingers together with great pain, I prefer to purchase!  
(Gil does NOT like me using a glue gun, in fact after doing a project, I had to sleep one night with my hand in ice water to reduce the pain......)

Melly! I do so admire your work....I'd love it if you could make me a mermaid.....think about it, wouldja??

Cathi :D

Hi Robert!  It's nice to meet you.  I LOVE the look of fused glass and can't wait to see the pics!

A mermaid eh?  Hmmm...  I'll get back to you on that one Cathi. :)

BTW, you hot glue your fingers together??  That's a big OUCH.  Gotta watch the stuff that heats up to melt things.  Whatever you do, stay away from a soldering iron! ;D

Melly,
In my past life(and sometimes present), I was a florist. I could fly so fast through a corsage or bouquet, sometimes, the tools were simply forgotten-they became just an extension of my hands....consequently, I'd forget about the glue gun as it did it'd thing....and, yes, I sported some really pretty blisters on my hands and fingers........
I have often thought that I'd like to do stained glass, and have even done a few projects, but, OHHH MYY! That solder HURTS!!!!
Gil is constantly taking tools away from me...........he's been through too much!
:DCathi

Oh, and, ps.I would dearly love it if you could figure out a mermaid.....and promise here to pay for it if ya do!

Definitely not hokey!

How about a 5x8 replication of Chagall's work in the UN

That'll keep you busy :-*

I do like a bit of glass art Mel and have a few pieces of Daum,Loetz and Elizabeth Swinburne who incidentally was my neighbour till she moved to Amsterdam.
My favourite is Galle and lalique but i can't afford them.
Keep on posting your pics its refreshing to see.

Cathi- I have the perfect pattern and even had a dream about making a mermaid last night.  Too weird. :-/

E2- I looked up Chagal's work at the UN and my first thought was ARE YOU NUTS??  LMAO!

Colin- I googled Elizabeth Swinburne and was reading/looking through her website and came across this which I thought was just cool!
