Lizard!

Working on gluing the background in place today. I needed to cut some more pieces, only to discover I had a helper hanging out underneath my Morton Glass Works straight edge… Luckily I was gentle with the piece of glass I was trying to shove underneath it. My husband said he heard the scream two levels up in our house. Thanks to the hubs for relocating Mr. Lizard outside in our yard!

I’ve got the larger pieces of blue glass cut and glued down for the background. My next thing to focus on is cutting small pieces to fill the larger gaps in the background.

Working on filling in the background now (everything is glued down).

Blue background

Today I cut the larger pieces of the blue background for the hummingbird and laid them out. I will remove them and glue down the bird and flowers before I commit the background, though. Right now I’m still figuring out the layout options. I am thinking a few more green leaves might be nice, but I want to show it to my friend in whose home it will eventually live first.

More Hummingbird

Starting to fill in with some more vine, leaves, flowers and flower buds. Next will be the blue glass for the sky, which was chosen by the friend for whom I am making this one. Nothing is glued down yet as I’m just in the beginning stages and want to be able to change things if needed.
