Playing with Glass Blocks…Pate de Verre

September 9, 2009 by Cathi Milligan

Pate de verre is glass casting using crushed glass also known as frit. The result is a soft, translucent glass that is so beautiful. You’ve seen it in Daum and Lalique glass. Through the Bullseye site I stumbled upon Cynthia Morgan and thank goodness. What a source of information about glass and pate de verre. I personally haven’t been all that interested in doing it. I appreciate the work and the effort it takes to create even the smallest piece. After checking out Cynthia’s blog I’m alot more interested in trying it out. rustsamples

The blog post I’m sending you to is about color testing. Check out the glass blocks she made. I want them in my bathroom! But the blog post is educational. No really…it isn’t just eye candy. Also, check out the other blogs she’s interested in. So much more information. If you’re like me, the more you can learn about glass the better. So here’s a great source for more info!

Make Day and Night Floral Cards with the Same Stamp Set

Make Day and Night Floral Cards with the Same Stamp Set

I love a versatile stamp set, I know I’m getting my monies worth if I feel like I can create many different types of cards with the same stamp set. Anna is sharing a terrific way to get two very different looks using the same floral stamp set from Hero Arts for daytime and nighttime card designs. For both cards she heat embossed the flowers onto vellum paper using white embossing powder, die cutting them out. For the day card she colored on the *backside* using Zig Clean Color markers, for the night there’s no coloring. She die cut an oval from white cardstock, inking and splattering the opening for the night card and used the plain oval for the day, adding a die cut floral background behind it. Each card also has a heat embossed sentiment.

Visit the Hero Arts blog for more photos and to watch her video tutorial.
