The stained glass lampshade in my bedroom fell off sometime in the middle of the night. How did I sleep right through it?? The center just collapsed in on itself, so now I have some stained glass pieces to play around with. Oh, it's okay, I bought it at a yard sale for $3 to break into tiny pieces for mosaic...lol...I wish I knew how to solder,this would be perfect to practice with. I'm going to have to try it one of these days because there's just so many nice things to make.
That's a lot of stained glass...but I can see it on a tea set already :) I got two little cups with flowers on it, and tiny little decorated handles. They're already cracked, so I won't feel a thing when I smash them to bits for a mosaic.
I got about 5 yards of off white fabric that I think is cotton. I didn't do a "melt" test...LOL...but if it's cotton, I should be able to dye it a nice soft golden color. I want to try to make a slipcover for the LazyBoy wing chair recliner that currently has mauve butterflies and blue and red flowers, HossFly doesn't care for it at all. If I screw it up with dye, ah,well, it was only .50 cents. The toile panel I bought this summer for a quarter. It's big and wide like a king sized sheet would be. It says Italy on the label...and it's waiting for just the right project.
