Very very pretty. They are beautiful in your garden.
Thank you! ♥
I love how you have all your supplies laid out and you explain all your plans!
Thank you! ♥
On your stamins,you could also make them longer ,then wrap around a pencil to give them a fancy design.
Good idea! I'm always looking to try something new : )
Or use the wire to wrap around the rebar like a bone. Maybe some resin leaves would be cool!
Absolutely ingenious! I love love love!
Thank you so much! ♥
I love your color choices and the shape of the glassware. You have good taste!
Thank you so much! ♥
Beautiful work.
Thank you very much! ♥

Flowers are so pretty. Please gift your neighbor, Larry, some safety glasses!! Encourage him to use them every time he is working !!!!!!!
I'm sure he has some ♥
So Pretty! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! ♥
this are beautiful, I would find a way of incorporating some solar lights into them, I think they would really nice lit up for night.. good job!!
That's a great idea! Been thinking about that.. ♥
So pretty!

What a pretty setting.😊 Very nice glass flowers.
Thank you! 🤗
Beautiful. Totally 💯 agree your style is so clever I want to try making something similar. You rock
Thank you so much! 😊 ♥
This might be late, but I suggest spray painting the hockey pucks the same green as the rebar. These are stunning! Subbed.
Thanks for the sub! Good idea about painting them green : ) ♥

STUNNING ❣️
Thank you!! ♥
Gorgeous!!!

How about spraying the puck green like the bar . They are beautiful ❤
Good idea! ♥
They are beautiful
Thank you! ♥
I have made a few my self ,so beautiful!
Wonderful! Thank you ♥
I have used different kinds of adhesive to make these flowers and the only kind that lasted longest is marine silicone. I live in Fairbanks Ak and this silicone withstands the freezing better. Also, not all colored glass is natural. Often it is paint that fades or peels off. Scratch the bottom to see if the paint comes off. Or look through the edge of glass and painted glass will appear to have a darker color on the outsides and the inside will look clear and colorless.
I like you idea for mounting it on with a hockey puck! That has more strength to hold so much more weight than a pipe bracket that i was trying. A piece of well painted wood could work too.
Thank you for that info, from the other side of the country! : ) Good to know about the silicone. I bet it's harder to apply because it's so thick? But strength is what matters. I am actually in the process of videoing an adhesive experiment to see which ones work the best. Should be done this summer : )
@@MyLittleSliceofParadise now i have discoved "Flex Paste" and it comes in black or white. It is very sticky and hard to smooth out but it will stop pipe leaks and can be used outside. I think this is a better option. But it takes up to 48hrs ro cure.
VERY, VERY beautiful. i love the hockey puck idea!!!!!
Thank you! 😊
These are beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 😊
See you got a beautiful helper. ❤
Yes they love it when I work on the porch ; ) ♥
So lovely! The pink flower is especially sweet. Thank you for the instruction & inspiration 🌞. Susie
Thanks so much 😊♥
Breath-taking!!
Thank you! ♥
Just beautiful! Can’t wait to go thrifting for glass
Me too!! ♥
They are both very pretty. The blue and frosted leaf are my favorite one I have seen you do. That one is just amazing.
Thanks so much 😊♥
👍🏻😁 awesome idea ! Thanks for sharing. I’m amazed that the weight of the glass isn’t an issue.
Thanks! It seems to be holding up fine so far with the rebar : )
So Pretty!! Such a great use of Thrift store glass.
Thank you! 😊
They are so pretty .
Thank you! : ) ♥
Love your stamen ideas 🥰
Thank you 😊♥
I just love them there so pretty. Thank you for sharing
Glad you like them! ♥
Gorgeous, would look pretty at night with lights
Thank you! Yes it would! : )
Love these. Thank you
Glad you like them! Thanks : )
One word beautiful....
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much 😀
Love your content, beautiful craft, trying to figure out what part of the south you live in, very familiar scenery. But because of your accent I know you are not as far south as I am. Larry could be slightly north of my location, but you must be a transplant....lol! Moss filled oak trees near a lazy waterway, what a beautiful backdrop for your delicate flowers!
Thank you! You are very perceptive. Larry I think originally is from the Carolinas but has lived here in Central Florida most of his life. I am a transplant from Massachusetts but have lived here for around 40 years : )
If you put a twirl on the bottom of your stamins like on your memory wire baubles,they will stay in place better.
Good idea! I will have to try that next time : )
They are gorgeous 😍
Thank you! ♥
That’s a fantastic idea ,at first glance I that was a Dale Chihuahua creation, beautiful!
Thank you! I don't know who that is, but would like to see their work : )
@@MyLittleSliceofParadise Auto correct messed up his name it’s Dale Chihuly he is a famous Glass Artist started in the 1970’s
@@MyLittleSliceofParadise I think you will enjoy his work , he has actually done glass sculptures all around the world for thousands of dollars and on the bridges of Venice Italy.
@@siriusstar99Oh yes! Love his work : )
The autocorrect made me smile! I knew who you meant right away. One of our local hospitals has some of his work in the atrium and the art museum has a large sculpture as well.
Very pretty, we use E6000 instead of epoxy
Thank you ♥ I switched to epoxy for bird feeders and flowers because E6000 melts in the hot Florida sun!
I love the idea of repurposing glass. I suppose you could also paint glass if you couldn't find the colored glass you were looking for a project.
Yes I thought about painting a color on clear glass. Maybe in the future! Thanks : )
Love them!!
Thank you! ♥
Love them.❤

I just found your channel, I never dreamed of repurposing glassware like this, you are a true artist! Love it!
Thank you so much! ♥
❤Incredible job!
Thank you! 😄
I LOVE them! 😍 Especially the frosted glass and blue. Its my favorite so far out of the hundreds I've seen. You sure found a treasure in those 2 pieces. They're really unique. I'd buy if from you if you'd sell it. Its SO pretty! 💖
I love the pink and clear too. I'd paint those hockey pucks white, but that's me.
I'm just wondering if the epoxy holds better than the outdoor weather clear silicone? Larry is a great neighbor! Your kitties are two cute. My two would have to be right up there in the middle of things, lol. I'm 66 and have a learning disability. I'm a visual learner. If I can see how its made, I can make it. I'm so thankful to those who make videos for You-Tube. Thank you for sharing your videos.
I subscribed and can't wait to watch more of your videos. Thank you, again. Blessings ~ 🌹
Thank you so much! These are some of my favorites too, I got lucky finding these pieces! I may try silicone next to see how it holds up compared to the epoxy. Larry is great and I love my cats ♥ Thank you for subscribing!
You are so creative, love your art
Thank you! ♥
I love them, thank u for showing me how u made them🎉
Glad you like them! ♥
I am so inspired by your art. I think I might give it a try after I recuperate.
Thank you! I hope you do : ) ♥
Those are lovely. I want to make some this summer. Some other glass artists use E6000. You must think that the epoxy is stronger. I love your cats.
Thank you! I use E6000 also as you will see in my other videos, but I usually only use it for birdbaths. Sometimes E6000 melts in the hot Florida sun and bird feeders fall apart! I'm working on an adhesive experiment to see which ones work best : )
How much of the jb weld can you mix at one time and how much work time will i have before it won't work.
@@maryannprice2575 You should only mix as much as you will need to use withing a minute or two because it dries so fast. I learned the hard way the first time and mixed the whole tube of epoxy. It dried in the cup before I could use it!
So creative and pretty….
Thank you! 😊♥
Very creative, love them, want to make some, hope they turn out as pretty as yours.
Thank you! Have fun making them, would love to see the results! : )
Very creativity
Thank you! : )
Excellent color combinations and shapes! I wonder if they ever come unglued? Does the glue always adhere and keep the heavy glass in tact?
Thank you! So far they are holding up well! It's all a learning curve, but the epoxy seems to work better than E6000. Others have used GE silicone which I haven't tried yet, but I will in a future project : )
Excellent!!!! Congratulations!!! Is a beautiful job!!!
Thank you very much!
❤❤❤
♥
❤ so beautiful 😍. Have you considered using a glass paint to add colors to the flower 🌼? I bet that would be beautiful ❤
Thank you! I was just think about that since it is so hard to find colored glass. Will research where to buy glass paint...
Lovely work, cute cats, pleasant vid. Congrats, subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! Glad you liked it : ) ♥
Oh so pretty! They could be in Wonderland! Is that a bougainvillea behind them? I'm so envious! It's snowing hard here, an extension of California's latest atmospheric river. Just last week we had a 68° day and I was sitting outside. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your warm day! 😊
Thank you! Yes It's blooming like crazy. I've heard that California has the best bougainvillea vines. Love them! I don't miss the snow, but I like to see pictures : )
OMG c'est vraiment magnifique felicitation madame j'aime beaucoup c'est très original comme design, love love love 👍🌟🌟😘♥️💙😺🐱P.s vos chats sont très beau.
Thank you so much! ♥
These are so beautiful ❤ Thank you for the video! I was curious where to find hockey pucks?
Thank you! On Amazon - six pack for $13.65 ♥
@@MyLittleSliceofParadise Thank you so much 😊 I’ve been making glass bird baths but I wanted to start making glass flowers and feeders. Your videos are very inspiring and I love how you put the feeders and flowers 🌺 together.
I love these! They're just beautiful. Where did you get the hockey pucks?
Thank you! ♥ I bought the hockey pucks on Amazon : )
@@MyLittleSliceofParadise Thanks! I think for my first one, I'll be cheap and try a bottle or piece of wood.
@@debbieschoop-wilson3612 That works!
These flowers are just incredible. I want to come sit in your yard with you your cats and those lovely flowers. ❤😊😊😊
Thank you! Always welcome : )
So gorgeous. Are you still using E6000 for birdbaths? Thank you for sharing. Cindy in NC
Yes I am! E6000 still works fine for the birdbaths : )
You are so talented & creative. These are beautiful! Thanks for sharing the process. Would E6000 work as well as the epoxy?
Thank you! I have used E6000 also, but for hanging items that are heavy, epoxy seems to work better. Sometimes E6000 melts in the hot Florida sun!
How do they do with strong winds? They are pretty!
Thank you! So far they have held up. If we have a hurricane I will bring them inside : )
