Flower Suncatchers

Some flowery suncatchers – it is hard to tell in the photos, but some of these have a frosted / ripple / wrinkle effect. Plus one heart made of many tiny red glass dots.

Small Stuff

I’ve been quietly working on some small stuff – working out a few different types of flowers and some glass ball hearts on the side.

Hearts into second mold and some yellow Carolina Jasmine (SC state flower)

Here is how the Hummingbird with Flowers window turned out with the sapphire blue mica sky – photos outside in the sun. I will have this and other glass items at my booth at the West Ashley Artisans and Crafters Fair tomorrow (11/19) at the Citadel Mall.

Resin Curing on Hummingbird Window

I went to pour the resin on this window a few days ago and didn’t like the look of my hardener (it looked too yellow / old). So I waited until I could buy some new resin at a local store. However, when I got it home, the new resin didn’t look much better than the resin I already had on hand, so I decided to try what I already had open on some small projects before pouring it over my whole hummingbird window.

After a few hours, they looked fine, so I decided to decorate them (four ornaments and a festive red and green coaster). Then I felt better about using the resin I had on hand to do my large hummingbird window. I mixed 12 oz of resin and took the plunge.

After it set for about 30 minutes, I started filling in the sky / background with sapphire blue mica chips.

These should all be ready for the West Ashley Artisans and Crafters Fair being held at the Citadel Mall from 11am-4pm Saturday November 19th. Please stop by my booth! I will also have a few holiday themed paper crafts on hand.

Pouring Resin Soon

I wanted to fuss around some more with the glass in this window, but I also want to pour the resin before the West Ashley Artisans and Crafters Fair this Saturday at Citadel Mall, so I used mosaic adhesive to adhere all the glass in place – ready for the resin. I plan to use some beautiful sapphire blue mica chips for the sky / background.

Filling in the Hummingbird / Flowers

Today's progress on the hummingbird / flowers window — Today’s progress on the hummingbird / flowers window. Still not sure where the flowers will all end up. Will keep slowly filling in and moving things around until I like it.

Little by little I am making progress on filling in the flowers / vines that will decorate around this hummingbird.

Added more flowers and leaves. More to do!

8 Seasons done!

Wrapped up my “8 Seasons” set project today. I’m pretty happy with how they turned out. Eight panels (each approximately 6″ square). Two for each season (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter). These will be sold with the display stand as a set for $400.

Resin poured!

Today I was able to pour the resin on the Sunflower, Spring Flowers (Delphinium / Grape Hyacinth inspired), Acorns and Snowman panels. I forgot to use the masking tape on the undersides, so there was a lot of tending to the drips to take care of for these. Looking forward to seeing how the turn out in the next day or two!
