I was very excited by this prompt. First I thought, I can finish up some of my fused glass projects. Then I thought, I'll fuse some fabric. Then I thought, I'll do both! And then, I decided I really needed to just finish things in progress-which would be the glass.
The bottom two are going to be pins, the green is a hair clip and the star piece is an ornament.
The glass is a combination of old window glass, glass scraps given to my mom, plus a bit of purchased glass. Some of the glass I assembled, some my mom did. She then fired (fused!) the glass. Other than the hair clip, I've stacked two pieces of glass together and glued them to create the layers. I like the way glass looks combined. It creates a conversation.
The star piece includes a little metal star that I glued on. It's from a harmony ball my brother gave me years ago.
The bird is a photo that I took, altered on the computer, printed and then glued to the back of a piece of glass.
From the stash of trash: glass and metal (including the little piece in the star ornament.
