Work In Progress!

I've been working on the stained glass sidelight and have all the glass cut and I'm now foiling all the pieces. This seems to be a never ending process. But I can listen to music or watch a show while working. But the fingers are tender! It's amazing that I cut all the glass and didn't cut myself, but when foiling, I got cut with the foil.

I have also be doing other 'art' projects. Here are the 'tangled' bookmarks I made for a recent swap.




There are a few other 'swaps' I will be doing. So, we'll see how they go!

But for now, back to my 'work in progress!'

Glass!

What should I do today?

I am currently working on stained glass. Cutting glass for a sidelight beside a front door for a friend. The piece is coming along which is very exciting to see. As the piece progresses, I'll post photos.

The most recent pieces I have completed were butterflies. I sent them to Houston, Texas to a Holocaust Museum for their Butterfly Project. The museum is collecting 1 million butterflies for the children killed during the holocaust. I took pictures of the six butterflies hanging in our trees.

Little Red Riding Hood Star Book

Star Books look very complicated, but they are so much fun to make. This book was completed and mailed for a swap at Swap-bot. My 'swap partner' liked the story of Little Red Riding Hood and I had a 'childhood' book with pictures and the story.

I photographed the pictures, typed the story, then printed all on cream card stock. Creating the red cape for the cover took some drawing and cutting, but was finally was accomplished. The book was completed using red, black and white, and cream.

Other embellishments used were paper napkins, black corrugated paper, ribbon and string, and brads.

Then across the ocean the book went to the United Kingdom and
the lovely lady that received the book.

Note: She loved it!

The Attic Window is now open!

Today is the first day for this blog! Yeah, I did it! As I am 'of the older generation' I will be learning along the way.

The Attic Window is open to anyone interested in 'arts and crafts'. I enjoy a variety of projects and I hope you will enjoy some of the completed ones. I look forward to your reviews (please be kind) and getting to know visiters to The Attic Window.
