Craft Edge

I just wanted to share the glass blocks I have been working on. The fireman is for my son in law, the bird in the bush is for my mom and the Welcome is for a friend of mine. I couldn't figure out what to put on top of the fireman block. a bow would be too girly. I had to mail the bird one so didn't want to put a bow on top because I thought it would get crushed. I am hoping I can find a small reproduction antique fire truck or something to put on the top of the fireman one. I put leather around the edges and used a suggestion from "btails" (Judy) to wrap the lights with wire so they wouldn't fall down inside of the block.

OH, I wanted to say that I printed the background on vellum, used my Xyron to adhere the vellum to the glass block. Before doing that, I stuck the design on the printed vellum, then cut it to size before adhering the vellum to the block. Much easier that way.

very very nice !!!

Lindamac those are absolutely stunning.. Would you happen to have the svg file of the moose one????

Those are great - thanks for sharing!

Sweetness, as soon as I can find it, I will post it here for you. I can't remember where I stored it!

ok, I found it. I made it a scut file and the pine tree sticks out of the frame but I just cut it off with scissors. Hope you can use it.
