One day I was playing around with some ranger glass slides and had the idea to give them some dimension. Since a few people have asked me how I made them here's a quick tutorial. If something isn't clear feel free to ask questions! :)
To make them I pretty much just stamped and alcohol inked 6 slides and used a thin line of diamond glaze
/crystal lacquer to hold them
together. While the adhesive was drying I propped each side up with some random item to hold it in place. Once the four sides were set in place I edged the top with diamond
glaze, put my last slide on top and let that set. I have ideas for 3 dimensional objects which I would either put in at that time and/or hinges to add so they can open up but I ran out of slides.
Once all of the diamond glaze was
set I used some embossing ink and some antique gold embossing powder along the edges to make them look kind of soldered on.
Some day I'll post a step by step with pics, but for now, that's all I've got.
If I don't go on a trip every few months I start to go a little crazy. Right now is one of those times. My last trip was to see Megan last November. I'm absolutely dying to go back to Britain. I love it there. I would move in a heartbeat. Frankly, almost anywhere in Europe would suit me. As it is, I'm stuck stateside until late summer, so I'll just have to post about my longing and hope it curbs the bug a little bit.

In the meantime, here's a prezzie I made for Tigger. It's a Tim Holtz inspired glass box.
