My Beautiful July 4

Have I ever mentioned that I love my Nikon that Brian got me for Christmas? No? Well, consider it mentioned!

What I've been working on....

I mentioned here that I was going to start painting glass...

Here's some pics for your viewing pleasure. ☺

First, I start with a clean sheet of glass...this first one was done on a piece of tempered beveled glass from out of an old end table - roughly 12"x18". Then I draw my pattern on with a sharpie....


Next I work very meticulously to paint all the lines on with some liquid leading...


Then start adding in some color...
Then finish all the coloring and spray & seal the piece to set all the paint so that the piece is then cleanable...I'm still working on making a hanger for it so I can put it on a wall or in a window. It'll depend on what kind of frame or hanger I make for it before I decide on an exact price to sell it at. ☺

This is my next small piece I'm working on. I've also started working on a much bigger one, but I can't share it's progress just yet...I'm a bit afraid I'm going to break it since it's bigger & not made with the tempered glass. It's just old window glass....

Free!

Sometimes it pays to take the trash off myself.

This is the condition I FOUND this trunk in! Tags are even still on it! It just has a bit of broken trim on the top, but that might cost me a whole 25c to replace! Its roughly 36" long x 24" wide x 18" deep.

I have a new, lockable, trunk that I'm going to store my sewing & craft things in!!!! I have a tote box I keep it in now, and a few other boxes, etc that I keep it all in...some in places hidden from Mikaila because she can open freaking everything! But this locks and is a bit difficult even if its not locked! I'm so about it! The keys were even in the bottom of it. Almost like someone bought it, noticed the defect, and just threw it away. Wish I had money like that to just throw away...but on the other hand glad they do, for my benefit.
