*** A Summer Afternoon ***

A Summer afternoon is pure bliss and a perfect time to become creative. I adore owls and this little pewter owl gave me a wonderful amazing idea in how I would benefit in using these lovelies in another way other than as sun catchers in a window.My crystal prisms would play not one but two roles in their new altered life.





Some time ago I had seen this beautiful idea and although I had collected quite a lot of Depression Glass for the home I never came up with this ingenious way in using it. One of my hobbies is Stain Glass so I was more than qualified and prepared with the tools needed and steps in taking to making it work. After a while I gathered up the courage to take a chance with one of my gorgeous button and daisy platters that I had collected and finally drilled the holes into it....it worked like a charm!

Karson wondered what I was up to and soon found out.....




Music rose on the breeze and danced with the flowers and trees and with Karson's white whiskers.




The pure white crystals caught the sun's brilliant rays; twinkling and dancing with the leaves to their chandelier music in the summer wind.



This Depression Glass Wind chime - Sun catcher is both magical in its twinkle and captivating in its amazing soft and delicate song!




Hope I have inspired you.....


A Summer Afternoon

Bathed in the
Honey and Almond
Of a Mary Rose

The Heavenly fragrance and sight
Of a country pasture
Covered in mustard
Humming sweetly of honeybees

Brilliant and warm
Lulled in the music
Of trilling birds
And chimes on the wind

A summer afternoon
