victorian panel preview

i've had this gorgeous swirly art glass for 10 years, never knowing exactly what to do with it. enter my sweet neighbor, joe! he said he'd been kicking around an idea for a frame, and told me to start thinking about the panel to go in it. i knew instantly what was going in there! the pattern (and the glass) took shape in my mind like a lightning bolt.

so, here's a preview of the panel. joe's working on a stain for the frame.

keep your eyes peeled...this is going to be a show stopper!

i was heartbroken after the wind blew the piece, hard sun, out of the window. i'm happy to report, it's repairs are almost complete AND i was inspired to make another (baby) sun. this mini sun is approx 10 in and is seriously showcased to the max by my sweet neighbor's fabulous frame. we're currently testing stains for the frame...after that, this mini sun is ready for it's new home!

here's a preview:


joe's fabulous frame!

"Hello, my name is Finnegan and I wear a diaper and belly band because I have spina bifida which makes me unable to control my potty. My doctor says I may lose the use of my back legs someday, but what you need to know now is that I am a very happy, well-loved little dog that got a second chance at life. Please educate yourself on breeding practices and puppy mills... and try to support your local rescue organizations!"



i volunteer for midwest boston terrier rescue, the organization that took in finn, fostered him and found him a wonderful home. thanks for all you do, MWBTR!!

please ADOPT, don't SHOP!!
