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 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.
Added some additional flowers – still working on layout.
Little by little I am making progress on filling in the flowers / vines that will decorate around this hummingbird.
I filled in the larger gaps in the blue background and now I think this one is ready for the resin coating. I just have to wait for the weather to warm up a bit so the temperature in my work room is warm enough to pour the resin.
Today I spent some time filling in the smaller gaps in the blue background. The hummingbird window is almost there! Once the mosaic adhesive cures, I will look at the whole window in the light and decide what other smaller gaps still need to be filled. After that, it will be ready for the resin.
