I have a love of all things glass. It is my weakness, and I'm drawn to it at vintage shops, flea markets, and high end crystal - plus stained glass, colored marbles, and on and on -- I love the way light shines through glass ...
On a recent thrift store shopping trip I found this glass bowl ...
I thought ... hmmmmm......
wonder if I could turn this into a gazing ball?
This might be just the ticket ...
I covered it in paper and cut a hole through the top
While I was at it I sprayed a little pink glass cup too
Just to see what it would do
I think they are both great
I havent found just the right spot in my garden yet ...
but until I do, I think it looks great on the steps...
Now .... what can I do with this yard sale lamp??
Any ideas??
Brenda, Really impressed with your creativity.

Brenda, I am in awe of your creativity and talent!! How beautiful! Can't wait to see what you do with the lamp!
ReplyDeleteThat gazing ball is fabulous. And that lamp is just like one that was given to me back in 1976. Having shopped for lamps recently I found myself attracted to metallic finishes. Personally, having seen the gazing ball, I'd do the same thing to the inside of that lamp. Reminds me of mercury. Happy Birthday to you! Cathy
