Oooohh, those are just beautiful. Your cutting always looks like stained glass. And I love the little pearls and butterflies in them. Are those ready-made tiles in the middle?

Crossing Hydrangeas - Creating New Plants
Q

Donna, there are so many great retail nurseries in King County, it's hard to know where to start. All the ones of any size will carry hydrangeas but the best selection will be on hand closer to bloom time. All of my hydrangeas have come from local nurseries and I have lots of different types (not as many as George - ego45 - though!) But you are not too likely to find many one year plants. Most will be at least 2 or 3 gallons, often larger, and old enough to be blooming, generally 3 years old or more. Unless it is a hydrangea specialty nursery, it is the flowers that sell hydrangeas and retail garden centers will be bringing them in in bloom. In King County, I'd look at Swanson's (Ballard area), Sky (Shoreline), Molbak's (Woodinville) or Wells-Medina (Bellevue) - these are the largest retail garden centers and most likely to have a big selection. But I wouldn't necessarily limit myself to King County - Emery's in Lynnwood, FlowerWorld in Maltby or Watson's in Puyallup are all good, large nurseries and all sell a wide variety of hydrangeas in season. And there are many smaller nurseries scattered around the area that are worth investigating. Get a copy of the Western Washington Retail Nursery Guide (available free at most garden centers) and plan a few day trips!! You might find all sorts of things to accompany you home, including several hydrangeas.......it's hard to have too many :-))

Hello guys, I am new to roses. And I have just come across a very good deal on about 20 different rose bushes. And I was just wondering, what do u all mean about the crosses? Are u talking about grafting. I am new to roses, but not new to grafting and propagating. I have misting system set up. And I really would like to start propagating and grafting roses. Thank you all in advance for all your help.

All you need to know about making crosses is in the link below. Perhaps you've heard of Dora, Bear Creek, Liz Birt and the very popular Purple Haze F1, etc., all hybridized by Keith. At the site click on CULTURE then scroll down to How to make Crosses and below that the link to gene basics which you'll need to know about depending on what your goal for a cross is. I've not done any deliberate crosses but have dehybridized a natural cross that led to the variety OTV Brandywine and also dehybridizd Ramapo F1 to an open pollinated version. it's lots of fun to make crosses and many folks do it, but you do have to have enough room after the initial cross to form the F1 hybrid, assuming you start with both parents that are OP ( open pollinated) to plant out from the saved F2 seeds, make selections and go from there. Hope that helps. Carolyn, and look around at that site b;c there's lots of information and links to great articles and so much more.

How to paint new 'Cross and Bible' door???
Q
Comments (0)
We're remodeling and I thought I'd tackle painting the new 6-panel "Cross and Bible" door, but have realized it's not a good thing to start with when you haven't painted anything in 25 years. I sanded, primed with Kilz oil-based primer, sanded, primed, and sanded again and haven't found the right order to do the different surfaces without messing up something I've already done. I know to paint from dry to wet, but with so many intersecting surfaces how do you do the edges of the raised molding, the inside flat panels, the cross pieces, and the verticle pieces without running into partially dry areas you've already done? I think I need a roller for the large areas, but even with that it'll be tricky. Advice?? TIA

Oh, CRACKED - I don't know why you ask others how to cut glass. What I DON'T understand is how you cut yours so perfectly and THEN put it toGETHER so perfectly. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the ATCs in the middle. Wish I knew how to get those images, and how to transfer them to clay. I KNOW I can just glue them under glass, but I'd like to do the photo transfer on clay but haven't had much luck in doing so. When I opened this thread and saw the crosses, I hadn't looked at the author of the thread, but said out loud - "I know that style", and then looked at the name, and confirmed it. LOVE them, CRACKED - just beautiful, and because I HAVE one of them, I know how perfectly they are made. You REALLY do this well. The pearls are a wonderful touch.

Thank s everyone...I drew this pattern out on paper and then cut a pattern..but as you know Slow they are just like yours but different colors,need to do a different design LOl..that's really how good I can cut they are all the same..I wish I could transfer them also,but I don't know how to do that either.The ATC card artist is lani kent and I think she is fantastic,I'm not that clever either.Slow i have a bunch I'll bring and you can make copies and see if you can figure the clay part out...Would laurie mika be able to tell you since you have taken one of her class's? Thanks I've got a couple more cross's and 5 other things to grout,I put that off and should do it when I complete something...

I have Laurie's book, and she explains in there, but I think I rub too hard when trying to take the paper off, and wreck the image. I also have a lazer printer, and I think inkjet is best for the transfers. I'll check out Lani Kent, if she has a website. I know Teesha Moore has lots of collage images too, and there are several sites but just been too stingy to buy them.

I KNEW I recognized that image, CRACK. I was just on that site yesterday and saw that very same image you used. I've searched that site many times. See - she has Teesha Moore in her links too. Wonderful images there. I'm marked it for later buying.

Slow ,don't buy any...I'll make you copies,I've bought way to many of hers and the other one too...save your money..I forgot to add I asked her permission to use them in my mosaics ,and have sent her pictures of them... I would not have used unless I ask them first.She is very nice and willing to help.I actaully made the second one before I made the exchange one,but when I got Slows name I thought the other one fit her perfect???I had this for a backup..LOl

Oh, I accept. Goodness - you'll need a sleigh to bring all the stuff w/you. I show that cross to everyone who comes to my house for a tour, and absolutely LOVE my image. Oh, it is sooooooo me. Oh, yes, on using for our art, Teesha Moore gives permission also to use her stuff. Her stamps and images are a little far out, but I love them.

My art, Healing Expressions, is the art that CrackPot Annie (Anne Cantrell) is referring to be copies for any of you who are interested. Although I had repeated emails with no response from Annie 2-3 years back, regarding a financial arrangement we had for her to use my art in these crosses, I unfortunately never heard back from her. I was alerted to this thread awhile back but did not respond at first. My heart is often to give away so much of my art for different causes and situations I feel led to help out in and genuinely support. I had given permission for Annie to copy one design of my art to give to a stained glass group she was meeting with. Then we began to arrange a financial agreement and my support of her beautiful work on my blog if she was to ever sell any of the crosses using copies of my art as the center focal point. I am saddened I never heard back from her and that she had given free permission to just copy any of my art she has in posession to any of you who wanted to create with them...and that is wasn't necessary for what you wanted to be honestly purchased. I only ask 4.99 for the small prints of my work on my website at healingexpressionsbylani.com. This is the first time in my 10 year career selling art on line that I have ever had to respond to a situation like this but my heart felt it needed to be addressed. Thank you...
