What's on the worktable - new stained glass mosaic windows

Thought I would share my B-I-G news! I was contacted by a gal about my stained glass mosaic windows. She saw them on Etsy and loved them! <--googley-eyed grin.
She is opening a coffee shop over near Delray Beach, Fl and wanted to use them as the focal point for her decor! Woo Hoo! I am so excited. She ordered EIGHT of them.....the four I had listed and 4 more I am currently working on. In addition I am working on 6 others, 4 for Etsy and 2 for a possible consignment location. I'll share them as I go so you can see their progress.

She asked for some oranges, reds and yellows as two are mostly blues. Here is my orange version in the rough cut stage.

Here is another 9 pane I am making for the Etsy shop. I just LOVE this window! It will have a clear glass mosaic background when completed.

I have 2 more rough cut out to share soon......one a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired "wheat" design in primary colors and the other a beautiful muted shades of purple, green and gold featuring some amazing daisy patterned pressed glass. Stay tuned! :)

Don't forget our 20% off sale is still going on through the end of the month!

Gearing up for a new show.....

We were fortunate to be chosen to attend an upcoming ART show on April 16th. It is the ART and Soul Festival in Winter Haven, FL. It is hosted by Drops of Jupiter. Please come by and say hello if you are in the area! :)

I am feverishly working on some new ART for the show. Currently on the work table are some stained glass mosaic windows. I have 4 I'd like to get completed.....one is finished except for the grouting. (And that my friends is Hub's job) <---smiles. This one that I can share is an all-over multi-color pattern that has been popular. Each one is unique and bright and full of color.

Also on the "in my head creating" list are: a chevron Frank Lloyd Wright inspired window, a 9 pane flower garden explosion, a very geometric squares, and some happy flamingos. :) That should keep me busy this week, don't you think? My current windows for sale can be found in my Etsy shop. I will be adding more pieces as time permits over the next two weeks. I will happily design a custom window for you too......just let me know! :)

I was extremely blessed by a dear friend before I moved to FL with the contents of her glass studio. One of the best gifts I rec'd was a set of 5 Five Gallon Buckets worth of glass pieces......yes.....5 Five Gallon Buckets. So, my challenge now is to draw up designs that allow me to use up these wonderful and colorful snippets of glass.

Bucket 'O Glass

5 gallons of Heaven

As you can see by the pics the glass is very dirty and covered in glass dust......so before I could use it I gave it a bath. Isn't it pretty just laying there on the counter drying?

Like an unassembled rainbow

Shiny gems

Anywho....here are some shots of window number one in various stages of completion!

Flowers are springing up all over the place....

.....glass plate flowers that is. We have been working hard to get a dozen flowers ready for our next booth tomorrow. We are heading down to the Flint River for our local town festival, "River Town Days." We will be selling our Glass Garden Beauties from 7-3, keeping our fingers crossed for no rain.

The flowers are placed on stems of copper pipe, embellished with hand-cut and veined copper leaves and tendrils. Here are a few of the posies we have created:

I also finished up this mosaiced stained glass window for the show. It is all done is blues and greens with a gentle wave pattern. I think it is very soothing in design. I sure hope it finds a new loving home tomorrow!!  :)

So, until next time.....off to the River we go.......
