I ADORE that photo bench idea!

Wow! Very cool! And it's neat that ZZ Top showed up to show their support, too.

It's neat to see that she's doin' her thing. Sort of like me with my chickens...

I see a new BYC trend now- glass bead art. You can bet that I want to decorate my coop that way now.

Ms.FuzzyButts :

The greenhouse roof and the photo bench are my favorites! But have to ask one thing. Is that a member of ZZ Top sitting at the table in the first photo?

Lol, I thought the same thing about the 'ZZ Top' guy.
Do you know what kind of glue she uses to glue the glass pebbles to stuff like wood or metal?​

Fabulous work, thank you so much for posting the photos!

I'm thinking some of the beads are what some companies call glass "globs" or "nuggets". They can be ordered by the pound from any stained glass company. They are freeform, in different sizes and colors, flat on one side and rounded on the other. Loads of fun.

The glue is probably an epoxy, but for outdoor use I like clear silicone.

The backing could be most anything, including glass or plexi. I'd use plexi in an outdoor setting, because it's much less breakable.

You took the words right out of my mouth I was going to say I always wondered where the other member of ZZ top went

Sorry for your loss but I had to ask as well glad to see there are still artist in this world the kind that can look at something and say hey I think i can make it look like this if I do this.
I love it all no matter how weird and crazy it may look I think it is wonderful.​
