glass painting and frames

25 comments


ive at last framed my koi carp and varnished it.i used old fish tank gravel which seamed apt lol

the orangs i made for my mum a few years ago out of pottery.in due course one of the corners got knocked of and they had nothing to hold them up on a wall or anything.i stained some cement black,framed them in like a bigger hexigan shape so it looked i hope like it was supposed to have know corners.i used the same finer fish tank gravel to break it up then yaght varnished the lot.im sure its worked .im pleased with them.i also put a hanger in the cement so they can go on the wall in my mums garden. shes pleased with them so i guess thats the mane thing lol.i hope you enjoy my garden pictures take care bye for now.

I thought the nudity was natural...you wearing a glass shirt an'all. Could be you've started a new fashion NP! lol
The orangs are super....I never noticed the crack until you mentioned it.
Great idea to use gravel...very fish-tank-y. lol
