Entry 1:
I made nesting boxes for a Trunk-or-Treat. I glued on some feathers and made paper straw.View attachment 3396526

Close up of marker drawings. (I knew I'd be adding some sort of nesting material, so I didn't bother making feet. LOL)

Here's my lavender Orpington, Darling & my bantam Orp, Cookie. (She was always broody)

Other misc. pics..... just for fun
Here's the completed, decorated trunk on that cold, windy day. "Chick-or-Treat"
In the trunk we had a Chromebook playing the Techno Chicken song. Live chickens of course. About 10 4-H chicken related displays surrounded the entire car. I also made some newspaper corn stalks. Kids had to listen to a few poultry-themed "corny jokes" before receiving candy.

After dark it was sleeting, so the paper decorations had to be put inside the car.

I have a bedspread with designs & birds on it (not chickens...wish they were!) that resembles this, very cool! Yours looks so much better!

Hmmm, that last one looks like a good idea for a birthday cake

A friend did this for me. It is a glass mosaic of my most loved Hank. Stunning!

Not an entry, but I think these are charcoal pictures of my girls that my brother did for me. I love them, they’re framed in my kitchen.

Beautiful ♡

Do it!

 

[Sammster]

Do it!

I'm waiting for spring, to have a glass room built in my garage. My house is small. Glassing takes a LOT of room. Especially, glass fusing. I hope I'll be able to afford the electricity to run my kilns

 

[Sammster]

Do it!

I do have regular, stained glass, too. I haven't gotten as far as lead-ing - but have done mosaics. I really prefer fusing, though
