Some hokey pics...
May 21^st, 2009 at 8:34pm

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!

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??

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! Grin

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!
Cheesy

Cathi

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!

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

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!
