Stained Glass Gifts to Give or Keep- Food

It's time to start thinking about the upcoming holiday season and gifts to plan now for family and friends. During this downturned economy, many people are looking for ways to recycle and re-style. Even if that is not your primary goal, you may be attracted to the concept of "double giving". Gallery Glass is the "gift that gives twice". First, you get the joy and pleasure of hands on creativity, then your friend gets a gift that is unique and attractive with a high perceived value. Isn't it wonderful that Gallery Glass just happens to look like something that is ten times more expensive?
I want to do a series of posts on frameable art. Go down to the basement and check against the walls or look behind the clothes in the closet and find those outdated forgotten picture frames with glass. They usually come in standard sizes--8"x10", 11"x14" or 16"x20". Those are the sizes that I am going to focus on for the next week, or so.
The first post focuses on kitchen and food related art. It is practically my favorite subject. If I'm not eating it, I'd just as soon be painting it. They resemble still life paintings and are wonderful small gifts for your "secret pal", a co-worker or your Bridge partner. Because who doesn't love food?

Aren't they fun. You can click on any one of them, which should bring them up on a separate screen. Then print out the design and enlarge it to fit your frame. They were originally presented as 8x10"s but you could enlarge them to 11x14 and have more room for the detail. The lobster was leaded in our Silver Metallic leading. It will have a slightly different look if you lead it in black. I will attach the patterns, but you may want to print out the picture to study while you're doing your project.  Have fun and get your holiday spirit UP! Get Crafty!
