Issabella - I am just happy that you enjoy the pics; thank you.

You seem to enjoy 'glass framed' vistas, so here is another, a surfing shot with glass of course ...



... and some glass 'Truchet' too ...

I love it OMG. Great inspiration to create more transparent glass. I'm rather busy currently but I'll try it soon. Thank you so much.

The glass wave is fascinating and lovely.

2-ton and Issabella - thank you for your comments.

I have been playing around creating glass tiles and thought I had saved the settings, but cannot reproduce the result now ...

But I did save them as patterns so not all is lost. Anyway tiles gave me an idea about decorating say a bathroom wall or feature wall ...

... so I started with this feature tile


... them moved on to a feature wall using glass tiles


... or you can even simulate a great view (or you may already have one) through feature windows

Very creative and innovative! Better be careful or Issabella and I will be asking for another tutorial!

This is not amazing but something I wanted to do.
The frame is BRL Molly's bearing. The Stone wall is from a picture of West Virginia University Hospital's new lobby I took. The flowers are brushes I made from a vase of flowers my husband recently gave me. The flower snippers are mine. Barrel was from a picture on the internet. The tray was a green marble pattern from somewhere, and I used the dark copper to brl the edging of the tray. I tried to crystallize the water can but that did not go so well. Anyway, I had fun doing it.

the watering can looks like it's made of very sparkly diamonds!

Thank you very much, 2-ton. I hope you liked the picture. I have had a difficult time lately looking for images or ideas to create!

I made a metal frame for a picture taken sometime ago. I tried to do a gemclear effect over the image part, but you really can't tell it is there. It did improve the appearance of the picture.

Hope I'm placing in the correct forum. I used a photo from many years ago that I was fixing as it has some damage. I use Dinasset's glass frame, and Hea4rty's Chromium for the frame. Usual techniques and filters to improve the picture. The subjects were not on rocks at the edge of the ocean. We found rocks out further in the water while cruising around in a boat and they hopped onto the protruding rocks to watch the sunset. Key West is known for it's beautiful sunsets!

Pat625 - I've been 'off air' for a few days, but wow, you really have come on in my absence. I really like your photo frame approach, especially the last chrome one it's a really magic picture.

Multiple for Pat.

OMG: Thank you very much! I hoped that you like them. Love this thread! You have taught me so much.
BTW. The glass tile over the image in post #321 (first one). Did you make that pattern or is it available somewhere.

Pat625 - all the glass tiles are 'home made' Pat and over the last few weeks their numbers have increased somewhat!!

I am thinking about putting a number of them together as a 'glass patterns pack' and posting them in the forum resources.

EDIT - Pat because I liked your metal frames, I put these two glass images inside one; thing about the first one is I have (at last!) worked out how to get easy 'valleys' from BRL instead of 'hills' all the time ...

I like those images, OMG. Your creations are always appealing!

OMG: It would be wonderful for you to share your glass tiles with us in the forum resources. I know I would use them!

Pat625 - OK Pat I will get them together and submit them; it will take a little while though as they are spread across two machines that are a bit out of control right now and I am looking at Ofnuts 'add on collection manager' to help sort things out.

Just to keep the thread moving, here is one that started out as a stained glass window attempt but i got diverted to roses again; still its got glass, brick, wood and metal too ...

very nice, OMG

Dinasset - thank you for your comment; I hope you like hexagons because here is one featuring 3 different types of glass and some different blending methods. There is always time to try out new things and especially with ocean sunsets which I adore!

I really love that image with all the types of glass! Now that would be great for another tutorial!! (Hint, Hint)

I call this "Ode to Benny". He was my younger son's dog. The most loving of any dog I have known. Very gentle with all: adults, children, cats, other dogs. He also was the most behaved dog I have seen in a long while. Sadly, about a year ago, he collapsed. Rushed to the vet. He had cancer and spleen ruptured. This last year, he has endured surgery, blood transfusions, chemotherapy and a plethora of different meds just as a human member of the family would. He maintained his pleasant disposition throughout it all. He recently lost the battle. Benny will always be remembered.
