I stopped at my local Salvation Army store just to see if there were any shiny glass pieces of any kind and holy mackeral, I hit the jackpot! They were all on a shelf just staring at me. My eyes were glazed over and I could not resist the magnetic pull to these gems. So I purchased every one of them, brought them home, put them in the dishwasher and voila! THEY ARE MAGNIFICENT! Now what am I going to do with them????
SO THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN TO PLAY!!!
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH ALL OF THESE PIECES?
I AM LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS?
I WILL WAIT 5 DAYS AND THEN, I WILL CREATE....
ANYONE KNOW OF A GOOD GLASS ON GLASS GLUE???
Welcome to my world...cool stuff...A few posts back on my blog I featured some shots of Sisters, there were glass pieces glued together and set on stakes lining her walkway, you could even use them with tea lights or a votive to light the night, or just to line the walk. If I can find it I'll email ya...
ReplyDeleteSorry, I haven't got a clue.
ReplyDeleteany kind of silicone glue works well. I've been seeing all those glued glass treasures, i thought those are cool! What a great way to use all those carnival prizes.
ReplyDeleteHey Lori, I have a solar light element that I saved from a stained glass light that I broke... well actually Baby Grace broke it... but anyway I saved the element if you want to use it in one of your creations! Would be really cool in one of your glued glass pieces.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! You bought the place out, girl!!! I can hardly wait to see what you come up with. I have no idea about the glue.

gee, what a find! My one-track mind can only think to use everything to serve or display cakes and other such desserts! I'm looking for a pink cake stand...
ReplyDeleteI personally use Weldbond for everything. It works with glass too! even when I do stained glass mosaics...
Treasures indeed. It reminds me of my visit to Corning, MA and their great displays of glass. When there I was luck enough to win a piece they made at their demonstration.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the walk in Lundy Canyon.
My mother has a houseful of depression glass and glass pieces like this. I have a few pieces that were my grandmother's and even my great-grandmother's. They're pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteHi Lori! We don't work much with glass, but have used silicone glues and two-part epoxy in the past with good success. Some of your pieces seem like they would make good bases for cakeplates or pedestals of some sort. Can't wait to see what you come up with. xo
ReplyDeleteI think I would tower them( and glue) into 3 columns. use them as candle holders.. tapers would be my choice but maybe tea lights... then find a funky silver plate or tray (tarnished patina OK) and glue them to that... E-6000 glue would work also... would be a pretty centerpiece with some nice greenery & silk.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea laura! I think that is where I'm going with this and in fact come to think of it, I have a silver tray. Was my grandmothers!! hmmmm,,, wonder where it is?
