feeling beary badly July 17, 2008

I started the bears in May.  It’s July now.  This is my fifth piece (not counting the butterfly).  It’s not that I’m bored with the glass, it’s just that I haven’t had the time to dedicate – and it’s not easily portable.

I also realized today that I haven’t been taking photos of the progress on the bears. 

Heck since this photo was taken I have completed the glass cutting and most of the grinding.  I spent a lot of thought on the color of the bears and I’m questioning my choice on the tye-dyed bear.  According to the photo, he is supposed to be orange.  He’s not currently but by the time this is finished – he might be!

Here is how it’s supposed to look:

Let’s take an inventory of the hobbies I have attempted. 

o        Rug making

o        Latch rug making

o        Sewing

o        Crochet

o        Knitting

o        Cross-stitch

o        Beading

o        Gardening

o        Water skiing

o        Painting

o        Macramé

o        Website building 

It almost too embarrassing.  Now it’s stained glass.  You get to use cool tools –electric ones too! And when you are done you have this beautiful piece of art – hand-made. I still do some of these crafts and I’m interested in others.  It’s just my short attention span keeps rearing its ugly head….photos to come!
