Our presenter is very talented as you can tell from the photos. She won't be doing a hands on workshop but will explain the process of leadlighting.
As you can imagine it would take quite a while to make a lampshade etc. and would require specialist tools too I guess so we don't have time to see the process during our two hour time slot.
Aren't these lampshades just beautiful?
If you happen to live in our region and would like to come along for the morning the details are as below. I am really keen on hearing about the process of decorating with mosiacs.

Somehow I got this old laptop connected up even though it doesn't have WiFi capabilities so I stuck in a cord into the modem and it connected to the net. I had better shut it down now as I am paranoid about running into problems again.
Have a great week everyone!
This artwork is beautiful. The cat is particularly lovely. I wish I lived up your way to join in.
ReplyDeleteYes I do love the cat mosiac piece. I doubt whether I could make something so pretty but I want to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're still able to post a little, a frustrating time. And the cat is gorgeous, looking forward to seeing yours.
ReplyDeleteYes I must admit I am a bit reluctant to use Windows 10 now, not that I have the PC back as yet. I felt really bad after the incident and was surprised at how much I panicked.
DeleteOh my...just in love with that cat! I can see how she's incorporated leadlight techniques, with the mosiac. I suspect the cat is made of opaque glass, as tiles aren't that forgiving to round cuts. My mum has done Leadlighting before, and I have a few of her pieces around the house. Lovely Jo's work. :)
ReplyDeleteChris, I am really looking forward to Jo's workshop and I hope she brings along some samples of her work for us to have a look at.
DeleteI remember the series of posts on the forum about how to do mosaic.
ReplyDeleteThe cat mosaic and those lampshades are beautiful.
Nil, I thought I had kept the instructions on my external hard drive on how to make those stepping stones but can't find it now. I still have all the supplies I bought at the time.
DeleteThis has given me an idea for stepping stones (I need some)and i love yours!
