Well, howdy! Here is a new collage I am working on... I'm going to glue the old typewriter keys to it and I have some groovy peacock feather ribbon I will cover the staples with... lovely mini canvas.
My hubby went with me to The Glass Haus here in Greenbay today. This store is pretty much the only one in the area that carries decorative glass and supplies. This neat store is run by such a help full couple! Every time I go in there I am trying to gleen information from them, today was my hubbies turn. WOW! He was really getting into finding out the process of stained glass work.. the poor shop owner was running all over the store pulling things down from shelves..
As it progressed, my hubby was so excited for me that he got me a Morton glass shop! I can cut circles, any geometric shape! I'm soo excited!!!
The kindly gentleman wanted to make sure we knew how to use this awesome grinder he took us into his shop! This is a very neat tool, I will be able to make sure all edges are smooth and line up as well as make shapes! Wahoo!
And this I am especially excited to start using! A Weller with a smaller tip. The shop lady was so shocked I was using the Weller 100! "Girly, that is just too big and too heavy for the delicate work you are doing! use this... it's like drawing with a pencil!" Oh, I can't wait.
Well, I have to go and get things ready for my hubby's long over due birthday party we are having tomorrow... More about the par-tay later..
Tootles!
