Old 08-31-2008, 02:39 AM   #1 (permalink)

I found some pics of the stepping stones I have made and thought I would share them. They are cement with stained glass pictures on top.

The hardest part is laying out the letters and picture right so that after it is poured and set the picture and letters come out of the mold right. You have to lay them in like a mirror image of what you want them to look like. I have done all sorts of pictures from flowers and tractors to golf courses and trumpets. I love doing the freehand designs then cutting the glass for the pictures.
thank you for your nice comments.

They are quite lovely, I love anything stained glass. I bought a kit but haven't even opened the box. Maybe I will now I've seen yours, not that mine will be a pretty as yours.
