A block of styrofoam packaging came in the mail the other day with something I ordered...  Rather than tossing it, I decided to sculpt a birdie for the yard.  Having never tackled such a thing, I approached it in a rather staight forward manner...  kind of boring... :(
So I added a wormie :)...
1. Sculpted Styrofoam
2. Styrofoam covered with Plaster Canvas
3. Wormie (added for interest)!
Next comes a layer of ThinSet and then... MOSAICS!!!

Decorative Soldering

Ok! Is this cool or what?! It's plain old solder and simply amazing! Don't you agree?

Stained Glass Fish

My first completed stained glass project! The class was fantastic and I made many new and wonderful friends!
Wait until you see my next post - Decorative Soldering!
I can't wait to use this technique with some of the mosaic work from the Rajasthani workshop!

Stained Glass Tropical Fish

Learning a new technique is fun! You make new friends and feed the muse.
I'm learning stained glass and this tropical fish is my "beginner's project".
During the first class we learned how to cut the glass. In the second class we put copper foil on the cut pieces. In the final class (next week), we will learn how to solder the pieces together. Next week I'll post the completed project!
