Spark of Imagination

 

Old Glory

Summer is officially here. The kids are out of school, schedules are more relaxed and back yard barbeques are a nightly treat. No doubt your calendar is quickly filling, like mine, with family get-togethers and vacation plans. With so many social demands and activities it’s difficult to find time to be creative and make cool projects. But don’t worry; I’ve come up with a sure-fire way for you to get quality time in your glass studio. With Independence Day right around the corner, a holiday themed piece is your ticket to freedom. This patriotic plate is quick, easy and fun to make. The project in the photo is 7” x 14”, but the design can easily be adapted to a smaller size rectangle or a square.
