| This is a stretch to be on the garden junk forum .... but ...... I wanted to show you anyway . I found a pattern on the web that I fell in love with . It's of horses .I adore them .... so I tweaked it to my liking -- Used an old glass tabletop ---
( you know - the kind on the 3 - legged tables .Can that qualify as junk ? ) and made a mosaic out of it. I even took progress pics - my pals on another forum wanted to see me making it . Last weekend - DH was hunting & I was home alone. Alone with my stained glass and a Box of wine .....LOL ..... (nothing but class here ~ !) Here's the pics --- I cut out the horses and laid them on the glass ....
Added the grass & glued it all down ....
I started the backround ....
It's done except for the grout ......
Here it is in the window - all done.
Bad thing is ...I don't have any windows I can display it in . I just loved it ,so I had to do it .For the time being , it'll be in the attic . *sigh* Oh well ... Hope you like it !

| Wow! I'd find a window to put that in it's a work of art & should not be in an attic. Wish I had that talent & strength in my fingers to cut all those tiny pieces of glass. Really beautiful coloring & always love horses in a piece of art! Jan |

| I'm with Sunnyca! I'd oust something else and put it in the window! That is amazing! |

| Wow that's gorgeous! Certainly not junk...its ART and you are very talented! |

| I think I'd find a way to display that awesome piece of art in the GARDEN, or at least outside, on the deck! Wonderful job, Toomuch!! |

| OK you can make a wooden stand and place it anywhere. The stand is kind of like a napkin holder or taco. tanya |
