The Crafty Broad Imposter - Projects and Progress

Okay, that hurt less than I thought it was going to.

Still haven't felt the urge to start. 💀 probably won't soon, either. I'll have to force myself at some point.
I know that feeling too well. It's time to move on to something else for awhile.

I need to get back into my glass fusing studio. I have a lot of glass to use and a lot of projects I want to make. I have a large piece that is sitting down there, making me feel guilty every time I look at it...lol I need to re-fuse the leaves. I don't have a picture of them, but they're not natural enough looking. I also need to slump the flower (give it more dimension like a real hibiscus).

That's really cool! How will you make the leaves more realistic?

Thank you!
I need to cut them more like hibiscus leaves. I don't know where my brain was when I drew this out. These will be used in different projects, so, they won't go to waste. I'm happy with the stems I pulled.
 
Glass fusing? I never heard of it, I've been happily ignorant all my life of this wonderous creation. I'll have to look it up.........

How pretty! I had no idea. But what do you do with it? I can see it as an art form, I'm not much into what I call knick knacks, especially having to dust them. :lol: Something with utility, like a bowl, but I don't "serve" supper on a table, it's get it off the stove and go sit in my recliner in front of the TV. Supper has been served. It would be supercool to replace a few window panes to catch the setting sun and color up a room. Hanging glass pictures in a box type frame with a light behind it would show off a pretty piece. Would probably sell at the craft fairs that happen in the fall. It is a melted "stained glass" without the lead. Very pretty.
