She grew up among the children of the stars . . .

This is my art project for the summer: glass stars.

I cut them out of sheets of various glass that I’ve bought.

Then I piece them together.

Foil, flux, solder, add a wire hook, wa-la! Stars to hang from my windows and trees.

They are very -ahem- organic? eclectic? Okay, so I’m not a perfectionist, and it shows.

But I like them.

They will add magic to our summer.

These are just a few of the stars that I’ve made. I have enough glass to probably make a kajillion. I’m thinking of selling them (at least to recoup the cost of the glass). What do you think?
