Laura: Cool Piece of Glass

So I went to the glass store to pick up clear textures. I needed some of the taffeta glass below. Plus I really like using this in my tulip panels. She didn't have any on the shelves, but had a giant sheet below that I had her cut up and I took half, which is about 3.5 square feet of glass. I really like the swirls in the glass. I think it is more elegant to use than just plain glue chip which looks like snow crystals on the glass.

Anyway, since I was there for a while looking for the perfect piece of glass, I also found Krinkle and Crinkle glass. I really didn't see much of a difference and so I wanted to take them home and look at them a bit more. As I checked out, she told me that the Crinkle had more harsh lines, while the Krinkle was more circle lines. I can almost see now.

Then I spotted the clear with leaves imprinted (left) and clear with squiggles. I am not sure what I am going to so with all this clear, but I thought they looked pretty.

After I bought all the glass and told the owner I needed to leave before I bought all of the glass. She told me that she had a specials piece I might like. In the back of my mind I was groaning a bit. I didn't need anymore glass. However, she told me she would give me a special deal on this piece of glass. So I went over to look at it. It had a rose imprint all over the frosted glass. She said that since she could tell I liked clear textures she thought I might like this piece. I smiled. I was a bit worried. The glass was huge. It was about 7.5 square feet and hadn't been cut yet. Plus she was pulling it out of the place where I bought my most expensive piece of glass a couple of months ago.

Then she told me it was free to a good home. Heck, I was like, my home is good. I'll take it. now I have a huge piece of glass I am not sure what to do with. But then again, I have a lot of glass that do not have projects lined up.

Now some of you know of the big dresser that Mom has full of fabric. That fabric moved around with us every time we moved. However, the fabric didn't seem to get used. Mom has now said that she has gone through it and donated some of the fabric and that some of the fabric was no longer usable. I am now like mom. I have a huge cabinet with glass in it. Glass that doesn't have specific projects in mind. I can't help myself. I go to the glass store looking for a particular color or texture and see a piece I can't leave behind. I must have it. Now I have a lot of glass and need to line up projects for them. However, the catch 22 is that once I have a project in mind, there will be one color I don't have, so I will need to back to the store.....and so my collection grows. :-)
