Adventures in glass making - the butterfly

[agt_spooky]

I got to pick up my finished glass mosaic butterfly last night and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Okay, this was the "before" picture, prior to being fired:

And here's the "after". Amazing how the colors change, isn't it?

The class wasn't what I was expecting, but in the end I enjoyed myself and I've got another skill under my belt!

That came out really nice... and shiny!

It really did! I’m quite happy with the finished product. :-)

Didn’t it turn out nice? I love how shiny it got!

The colors are prettier than I thought they'd be.

I knew that the colors would change, and some (the body) seemed to change totally.

Man, I love these surprise moments when working with glass or clay - you never know exactly what you gonna get. And this butterfly turned out terrific...maybe you can add some antenna? That would create perfection...in my world, that is ;-))

Thankfully I’ve been really lucky with all the glass I’ve made that none of the “surprises” have turned out to be bad!

It turned out nice, didn’t it? Love how shiny it got!

Hmm...I might be able to add some clay antenna...

Didn’t it turn out nice? I love how shiny it got! I’ve got a place all picked out in my living room to hang it. :-)

I am so jealous! The butterfly is really pretty. I'm envious because I would love to work with glass. I'm glad you're having such a great time babe!

I’m really lucky to live in an area that offers classes like these. Gotta love Groupon!

[sprnaturalgrl.livejournal.com]

I've only recently gotten on Groupon, because of you, incidentally! Anyway, I am watching the offerings so that I can jump on it as.soon as I see something like that offered. Our art museum used to offer all kinds of art classes, but stopped due to lack of interest. O think they need to give it another go since we have had a decent surge in population. I need to adjust my profiles on all the art sites and other sites to encompass a larger area. But I love seeing your works of artistic beauty. We have a lot in common, you and I.

So glad to get your text over the weekend about the stained glass class in your area! Hope you’re able to sign up for it. You’ll have to post pics of your finished piece!

I hope you find a nice place to display it in your home.

OMG It's beautiful!,,
can I touch it? :)

what is the length?

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Hee! Sure! This butterfly won’t fly away. :-) It’s about 12 inches from wingtip to wingtip. Really nice size!

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

That's so cool!! :D

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Thanks, baby! I’m really happy with how it turned out. :-)
