Glass of Sherry
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.
I realized I haven’t posted anything in several weeks, so here is an update on what I’ve been doing. I’ve been making a little progress on a new hummingbird window. So far, the hummingbird is ready and I’m working on the leaves for the first flower. I have been having trouble deciding on the color of glass for the flowers. The mica I’m planning to use for the background in this window is a deep blue, so I’m leaning toward orange flowers, but I really like pink flowers. We’ll see which color wins out.
I also made the first leaves for the flower out of the green glass I usually use for the hummingbird body. It doesn’t have striations, which I generally prefer for leaves, but we’ll see if I decide to switch to another type of glass or stick with this.
Poured the resin on the Mica Rainbow window yesterday – here is the result! Having trouble getting a good photograph of it, but here you go!
…of the mica rainbow flow mosaic. Added some purple and some “pearlescent” clear mica chips today.
I’m adding a little bit more every day or two to the mica rainbow window. It is slowly taking shape!
A rainbow, like a community, just isn’t right without all it’s colors. 🙂 Still a ways to go on this one.
I actually started this last week, but forgot to take a picture. I decided to use up some of the mica I have left on a bigger project – a wavy rainbow window. I am starting in the middle with red and will spread out in waves from there.

Today is Thanksgiving, a great day to make some progress on small projects! Today was second layer of resin over the two heart / mica rainbow suncatchers / ornaments and also for the first mica rainbow coaster. I liked the first mica rainbow batch so much that I decided to make a round mica rainbow suncatcher / ornament and three more coasters to match the first. Next up will be the second layers on those. I also made a medium sized stained glass snowman suncatcher that will need another layer of resin and some decorations tomorrow.
I was able to pop out a few finished projects from yesterday’s batch, too!
