She bought the equipment to do it at home and has been making some cool stuff. What prompted me to post here is she's started to incorporate stones and shells in to her pieces! here is a shell piece and one with a few translucent rocks we tumbled. The possibilities of what she could do here are exciting... a piece with a thunder egg slice as the center, something with a few cabs worked in... could be some cool stuff! -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558 CP Lifetime Member

We had a forum user some years back who made really neat lamps from stone slabs in "stained glass" style shades/creations. Here is a pic from one of his....also a pic attachment test, seems to be working for me Crusty. Snowdog's creations are really pretty, check out some more in the original thread if you'd like...... Snowdog's lamp projects original thread We'll all be looking forward to seeing pics of "Mrs. Crusty's" creations soon too. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator www.ColoradoProspector.com IF YOU USE IT, THE GROUND PRODUCED IT!

Have you set your time zone for yourself when signed in yet fenixsmom? You'll find that setting when you go to "my controls" then scroll down to find the "board settings" link to the left, there you can set the proper time zone (GMT Mountain time) and even adjust for auto daylight savings time adjustment if you want. -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator www.ColoradoProspector.com IF YOU USE IT, THE GROUND PRODUCED IT!

OK, giving this a try again!

A friend of mine asked Carol to make a green heart for his wife for Mother's Day; her first "commissioned" piece! She had 2 ideas, so made them both so he could pick from them and he bought them both

One of the first projects she made at home; teal ribbons for ovarian cancer for all her sisters, in memory of their mother

The first heart she made

She thought it would be cool to integrate some translucent stones in; I concur, it was!

A small framed abstract

This is her first tree... she is currently working on a panel of 4 trees; one for each season!

Rog! If you've got a different picture of one you'd like to see it based on, let me know!

She has done a couple cool pieces based on photos I've taken, which is kinda awesome!

Her choices of glass for the colors and textures are spot on, she really nailed it on the logs and even soldered detail into the log corners! I am amazed with this work of art.

She's been at it for 3-4 years and has done quite a few request. She hasn't done much lately, kinda on a hiatus, but if you've got an interesting idea, she might take on the challenge!

She did the Air Force logo and my CMSgt stripes for my retirement shadow box (which my cousin built)

and a logo for the National Mill Dog Rescue that she donated to them

A few more pics of her work. THe pig as the first one she ever did.

The AMAZING hummingbird was her second (yes, she must be a natural to do something so cool so quick!). It hangs in the window in our shower.

We got an old cabinet at an antique store and she made the glass for it.
