MY AMBER GLASS IS ON THE SALE BLOCK

I have had this wonderful little stained glass piece for a long time. It is made with an amber German New Antique Glass, Uroboros Fibroid Glass border, and a bevel cluster in the middle. 

The color in it is wonderful and the bevels, when put in a sunny window, give that wonderful rainbow effect we expect to get from cut glass.

After my sale, I took many pieces to the consignment shop in Tecumseh were you can find it now.  At least, I saw it in the front window the last time I drove by.  But, you would have to check with them to see if it is still available. 

This is their link:  What A Find, Consign.  You can click on the link to their new items and find this if it hasn't yet been sold!

Not my work but it is for sale!

UPDATE:  THIS PIECE IS SOLD! AND TO A WONDERFUL PERSON WHO BOUGHT SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS AS WELL.  MORE POSTS OF WHAT IS AVAILABLE CAN BE SEEN THOUGH!
 
This is a glass panel with a lot of beautiful color.  It was brought in by a customer over 5 years ago and she never came back for it and I can't get a hold of her.  She told me she purchased it at DuMouchelles in Detroit, brought it home, and her dog jumped on it.  So I had to make a repair or two to it.

If I don't sell it soon, I think I will be taking it to a local consignment shop. 

Pretty glass!

Recycled Church Glass Cross - In The Sale Tent

I absolutely love this cross.  The glass came from a church in Adrian that a wrecking ball was about to demolish (or the story goes from the person who gave me a box of treasured glass pieces from that church).

Because I can't see beautiful glass go to waste, I have made many crosses of various sizes and shapes using the painted glass pieces.  This one is unusual because every piece of glass in it has been recycled from that church.

I have an old window in my sale that will stay in the sale until Saturday.  If it doesn't sell, I will be dismantling it and turning into similar pieces like the one shown here.  It takes up less space in a box than it does in a frame.

Detroit Monopoly - You won't find another one like it!

The story behind this is kind of interesting.  I was contacted by a suburban Detroit city to create a piece of art from a steel door at a KMart store that had closed.  Cool!  I can do that.

So, I went to work and had my son Travis grind off all the old paint, I welded it into the shape of a table, and my son Matthew helped with the making of the money and the mosaic top.

When I called to deliver the door, I was told by the representative of the event, "Sorry.  We changed our minds on this project for the time being."

I am thinking, "Do you realize how much time we have invested in this project?".  But, it didn't matter much to the person on the other end of the phone.  In fact, I think she was a little overwhelmed herself.  So, since 2009 I have had this beautiful mosaic table in my studio covered up to keep it from getting ruined.

The properties are all Detroit:  GM, Ford, Chrysler, The People Mover, Renaissance Center, Hudsons... The property buildings are glass gems/glass globs.  And the money was all custom made as well.   Guaranteed to be one of a kind.

Right now it is in my sale.  But, rumor has it, a local Detroit reality show may be interested in selling it in their shop!  Time will tell.  It was nice to uncover it and see once again what it looked like!

Garden Art - Yep, it's on sale too!

 So... I love these copper and glass pieces.  At one time I thought I would take these to a whole new level.  Not.  But I do have few pieces to sell.  Love the colors in this one.  The yellow rondel on the left is actually a pressed bird.

Some mini bird baths...

And the Garden Chapels.  I always loved walking into churches when I was younger and the doors were always open.  Later on in life, you were lucky to find an open church if a service was not in the process.  So, my garden chapel reads:  Garden Chapel, Always Open.  There was a really cool outdoor chapel along the Au Sable River around Grayling.  If you are kayaking or canoeing, you simply stop your boat and stay for a while.  There were window openings but no glass, seats, and open air.  Beautiful.

And for my mannequin.  Is it time to get rid of her.  I'm not quite sure.  I guess if I got the right offer I would let her go.  The dress is mine though.

 And - when you drink out of a glass at a party, how do you know which one is yours?  You look for the right color of lipstick?   Ewwww.  These glasses will let you know which one is yours by the color of the flameworked flower.  Just a little more desirable in my opinion.

 More garden art, bird cages, mosaic.  If you come by, I'll tell you the story of the bird cage.  Too long to go into here!

I know it's not glass, but it will be for sale!

 Every picture tells a story...

This wrought iron was a find when I had my studio on Maumee Street in Adrian.  Loved the studio.  I was only there a year before a fire destroyed the property and I moved to the location I am in today.  These wrought iron pieces have been around to many art shows over the years.  I used it for my display for many years before I purchased the set up I have now.

OHHHHH.  The train.  I found this at an antique store.  I have children.  All boys.  They used this as a toy box, or a train if they threw the toys out.  It rolls and has such great memories.

The third photo is my sons fishing shanty.  He went to school for 4 years in the U.P. and got a lot of use out of it.  Now that he is in school for another 4 years and not up north any more, he feels the need to let it go.

But, the tub in front of it.  OMG.  My husband tells me he carried it down 2 flights of stairs 25 years ago.  Time to let it go I think.  It does need refinishing and a couple of legs.

 And finally, this wooden furniture belonged to my husbands, cousins, grandmother.  She used it for a long time and so did I.  It needs some TLC but is kind of cute.

Bring me some offers this week!  Would love to see my stuff become your treasure.
