These are my stained glass projects over the past year. I haven't practiced my stained glass since learning how to do it more than 20 years ago. The first project was a stock pattern of a beautiful flower. The finished project is fairly large and hangs in my living room window. The second project was a stained glass stepping stone I made and donated to an animal rescue organization for their annual fundraiser / auction. The winning bid was $75!!! The third project is one of my own design. I drew the heron then fabricated the piece. I intended it to be installed in the sidelight of my front door but it's beautiful in my sunroom looking out over the lake.

Novice Artist: My first "stab" at acrylics...
This is my first painting and I used acrylics. It's a piece of wine art and I've identified many names for wine as "gold script" against the background surrounding the bunch of grapes. Only problem is that it is unfinished because I cannot (for the life of me) identify one more word to fill in the last blank spot on the scripted background.

Salt Dough Art...Not practical (longterm) but so much fun
I discovered salt dough art 3-4 years ago and for a while after that LOVED playing around with the "clay like" medium. These are two art bowls Imade with the theme of them both being the idea that I've embraced since then and the name of my blog...Hearts Abound! After making them I put polyurethane on them to preserve them. They've been stored away since and when I pulled them out to photograph them for this blog I found one has a tiny piece missing (a chip). So sad. PS I know I'm not a sculptor...haha.
