Very eye-catching. Thanks for the explanation and the variations. #8666648Michelle Alton June 05, 2010
I like your final version...it's wispy, whimsical, and yet beautiful. #8666673Ron McEwan June 05, 2010
First thought was--this is stained glass. It would make a great pattern for one. Beautiful work as always Laura. #8666774

Gosh, I'd love to learn how to make stained glass projects. I heard once that it's very expensive, however, since a lot of glass breaks in the process.
Glad you guys like this. I was just having some fun to see what I could come up with.
Enjoy your days, everyody!

This dried flower project took me hours to make. A person has to take tweezers and glue and VERY gingerly place each dried leaf or flower (etc.,) with a gentle touch. It takes a very steady hand.
The rest was very fun...The picking and pressing! (Then DDR in the end! WOW!)
Night night!
