My house to yours....

This is the glass house I made for the Habitat for Humanity Auction. This is how it was done:

• cut glass in shapes for the house (2 pieces for each side/roof)
• made the collages for each side in photoshop and printed (credits to follow)
• added glitter to the butterfly wings, then sandwiched each collage in between each set of glass and edged with copper foil (available at www.artwerx.us)
• soldered up the edges, forming the house
• glued on twigs and moss found locally, then the little birds, pocket watch (available at www.artwerx.us), and silver spoon.

I left 'vent' space in the walls so tea lights could be placed underneath. For the roof I sandwiched a printed paper and copper mesh that was heated to color. I'm pretty happy with it. I need to make another to keep for myself, but I think I'll go a bit smaller.
