Hello all! The weather has been really cold lately, leaving alot of time for glass work! I was showing my blog to a friend the other day, and he asked why the doors I had done for his mom's antique hutch weren't on here.........What can I say..... this will be the third time I've attempted to post. The first time we were having troubles with internet service, the second time I had left the laptop on the couch waiting for the pictures to download........I got busy with something else and my boyfriend closed it out without saving a draft.........needless to say third time is always a charm, right?! Anyway, here's the cabinet doors I did.




I have also done some kitchen cabinet doors in the past for some friends. Custom stained glass cabinet door panels are the perfect way to bring out your personality in your kitchen!


The other day I decided to take a break from some of the orders I've been filling and try my hand at making a three dimensional rocking horse. I don't usually use patterns from others, but I thought that maybe they would make good christmas gifts for my girls. To personalize them I'm going to etch their names on the runners........They are 12 and 10 years old, I hope they like them!







In my workshop I've got all different kinds of glass containers filled with everything from mulit-colored glass blobs, shells, marbles, you name it! Creativity purposes as well as looking pretty. As I walked out there the other day the bowl of shells caught my eye. I started digging through them looking for a matching pair. After going through those as well as some that were in the bathroom I found a pair! What luck......I carefully cleaned the shells, ground them where nessesary, and foiled them. The foil that I chose had a scalloped edge, a handmade hinge, and
VOILA!!!!! A seahsell box. Well, after showing it to several friends, they want some! So here's my dilema........Does anyone know of a website that sells shells in pairs? Please feel free to leave comments! Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I need to work out a few details, but it was fun making a box out of sea shells.






Goodnight everyone!.........Hope to hear from you soon!
