Thanks everybody.  They are quick and easy to make and are different

Graybeard I use E6000 (walmarts) it seems to hold the best.  I have GOG windows that have been hanging on the garage for over 2 years (year around) and the glass is as tight as when I first did them.

Brag Forum / GOG aka Glass on Glass

« on: December 05, 2011, 01:10:21 pm »

I made these ornaments for the girls in my Crafty Gardener group.  The object is to take scraps of this and that and make something decorative out of it. 

The Angel (grace) is going to my Secret Santa on one of my stained glass groups.

Sorry the pictures are not the best.  Glass is so hard to photograph without glare.

Thanks everybody,  when I use cheap scrap wood I usually paint.  I need to find a good place to buy some better grade wood.  Lumber yards just don't carry it.

Thank you everybody for the kind words.  I used to work in a factory and worked 10 hrs (union only allowed 10 hrs) 6-7 a week.  What a drag.  Got old real fast!!

Marg I do most of my outside cuts with the bandsaw.  Gives me a better cut and if I am painting them the burn on the wood doesn't matter.

The africian one is for my sister in law she is crazy about giraffes.

Thanks Sheila and DW.  The Teddy ornament is Steve's Pattern.  The kitty one is one I found on the web.  A friend of mine just lost her beloved cat and I made this as a memory for her  tree.
