Lesson Learned

Hi Everyone,
I thought I would share with you a lesson learned.  I seem to always learn stuff the hard way, but it turned out well.  I wanted to try the DIY rusting of bells.   I had looked at several of the tutorials and wrote myself a sticky note with the "ingredients".  Thinking I will just use an aluminum pan so I don't ruin a bowl.  That is the lesson learned.  Use a glass bowl or pan because the aluminum pan will LEAK!!!  I have since found a tutorial and rusting recipe on Old Road Primitives and she tells you to use an old bowl.  It was the exact recipe that I used for the rusting.  I was really surprised how the turned out.

Ingredients:  Vinegar, Hydrogen Peroxide, Salt.
Use equal amounts of the vinegar and peroxide (glass bowl) put in bells then cover with salt.  Let set for 24 hours.  Lay them out on an old cookie sheet and place in the sunshine to dry.

Lighted Glass Block Snowman




Hi Everyone,

Remember all the glass blocks that were scattered all over my dining room table?  Well here is one of the finished products.  A snowman  or should say snowperson, to be politically correct since she is all decked out in pink.  She turned out really cute!!! She is three glass blocks tall making her around 24 inches and that is not including to the top of her hat.  Glass blocks are also heavy!!!

Haven't offered this up for sale, as of yet, because I am not really sure about how to go about shipping her.  I am thinking of participating in a local craft show and will sell some locally.  I know it is possible to ship it, but just not really that shipping savvy.  If anyone has suggestions and shipping tips, I would love to hear them.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Hi Everyone,
You can always tell that Christmas is just around the corner when my house is filled with glass blocks. This year is no exception my dining room table is now loaded down with blocks. My wonderful husband drilled all the holes for me this weekend.


Stay tuned to see what the glass blocks turn out to be.

Scarecrow


Hi Everyone,
I would like to introduce you to Mr. Scarecrow.  He is my latest item going in my Etsy shop, http://shellsvintagecharm.etsy.com .  Be sure to go on over and visit with him.  He is sure to light up your world with his happy, glowing face. He is made out of a glass block and is wearing his straw hat adorned with a sunflower and wearing his favorite bandanna.  My photography skills really do not do him justice, he is so much cuter in person. 
Blessings,
Shelley
