Glass houses

It's time for more houses, baby.......... altered style!!!!!  I had so much fun with this little glass house last year that i decided to make some more.

Materials:

Glass and seaglass, melting pot & tools, UTEE, stamps, archival ink, embossing powders of your choice, non stick heat surface, beads and other embellishments

Getting  started:

Start all houses by stamping with black archival ink onto glass.   (I used memory glass.)   Then gather all of your materials; you'll need to work quickly!!!!!

house 1:  paperartsy squiggly ink stamp (*swoon* gorgeous stamps!!!)  dried and peeled paint, beads, UTEE, embossing powders

For the first house, I dipped the glass into UTEE.  I then added copper embossing powders to my melting pot and dipped the edges of the house into it.  Next, I used UTEE to 'glue' paint chips and a heart bead  to the seaglass roof.  I also used UTEE to 'glue' the roof (seaglass) to the square glass.  In between steps, I let the house pieces dry on my non-stick craft mat. 

house 2:  burned felt hearts and felt lace, utee, embossing powders

I dipped both pieces of glass into clear UTEE.  I also lightly dipped both pieces of glass into blue embossing powder.  Then I used the UTEE to 'glue' the burned heart and lace trim to the glass. 

Using the flash setting, you can see the texture of the UTEE.

house 3:  paperartsy squiggly ink stamps, beads, utee, various embossing powders, indian leaf

I followed the same process as for house 1, but this time I added Indian leafing, seed beads  and another heart bead to the UTEE-ed glass.  This house is also stamped with Paperartsy Squiggly Ink stamps.

house 4:  utee, embossing powders, beads, gold mica flakes, tiles

For this house, I mixed embossing powders of all colours with clear UTEE.  I then used the UTEE to glue the beads and tiles.  Then I covered it with gold mica flakes.

house 5 (and the most challenging one to develop):  utee, embossing powders, beads, artgirlz crown, paperartsy squiggly ink stamps, puff paint triangles, paints, pearl mica flakes

I used previously made pieces (puff paint triangles) with embellishments and lovely stamps to create a house for a queen!  I added heavy layers of embossing powders and pearl mica to give it character.

Happy playing!!!!!
