1 star (quilt style)

1 flower that has butterfly that sits on it

1 oak leaf acron sun catcher

Nice JF!!  I really like that acorn leaf one...very pretty!  Keep up the good work!   dancing

[ct4mom]

Good job Joan I really like that acorn pattern is it a glass crafter pattern?

[JoanFrances]

Good job Joan I really like that acorn pattern is it a glass crafter pattern?

Thanks Di, yest they all are patterns from glass crafters

[JoanFrances]

Thank you Nancy, De and Meaco.  It is a start anyway.  Hope to foil and start soldering tomorrow.

[Audrey]

Great start. I also, like the acorn. It should do well for you.

[Kev]

Looking good girl! Look at you cranking them out!

[Linde]

Good job, Joan. I too like the acorn one...maybe you should make more than one.

[memaribeth]

Looking good!    I wonder...would the clear glob candle holders (that Gwen posted pictures of in the lamp base thread) be good for your craft show?  They are so pretty, and they must be magical hanging outside at night with candles in them! 

Happy Sunday smiles!

[Glassic]

Good work! They're all going to look great with the colors you've chosen.

[Lou Ann]

those colors should be great for a fall show especially if it is near peak foliage time...

[Malinda]

memaribeth,  the candle holders that Gwen did are lovely, but I wonder about the labor end as to maybe being higher than what I could possibly charge at these shows.  We live in a very economically challenged area and people are always looking for deals.  After I am comfortable with the amount of inventory I have built again, I may give one a whirl and see how it goes.  Thanks for the suggestion though and I will keep them in mind

[JoanFrances]

Thanks everyone for you're kind words of encouragement.  It is fun to share with so many people prior to going to a show, to get the reaction and input as to how they come across.

Happy you enjoyed the color choices, Lou Ann and Glassic.  Purple and Orange is one of my fav color combos, that or navy blue and orange.  I also love blue and green together.  Funny thing, when I was a kid if you paired those colors together in art class or in you're clothes, people looked at you like you lost you're head.  I remember my mother going off the deep end one time cause I bought a granny apple green sweater to go with my navy blue pants.  Who knew LOL

 

[JoanFrances]

Thanks everyone for the thoughts on the Acorn and leaf suncatcher, yes I rather like that one myself.  I'm thinking I'll have do about a half dozen with different colored leafs.  Have been thinking of cutting some on the saw, all one piece, and then applying wire for detail.  Could be a quickie and I can do it with my scrap stuff

On What Not To Wear they say that navy is a neutral, and you can pair any color with a neutral. You may have just been a little ahead of the times.

here are the drawings I did to try as a one piece leaf suncatcher.  The definition lines will be wire
