Little Table Done

I'll be giving this to my friend today, hope she likes it! I probably should have mosaiced the globe underneath that holds the light, but I ran out of time and matching glass. Does anyone else go thru "withdrawl" after finishing a project? I have the time off for holidays, planned to play,play,play, and just can't seem to get inspired to do a darn thing. I keep going into my craft room, looking at my stuff, waiting for inspiration........I'm sure it will come to me the day before I go back to work!!##??!!

    Shirley it's gorgeous, I'm sure she'll love it. I also have the lack of inspiration you describe, sometimes if I just pick up a project and force myself to start it then before I know it I'm right into it. Hope you had a great Christmas,

    That turned out beautiful. The colors look so rich. I always have loved red and the browns together. She will probably be overwhelmed when she sees it.

    yep, I go through a complete slump after a project. It's like I NEED to do something but can't find it. Feel lost for a while

    "Hope she likes it?"...are you nuts!
    I believe I'd have to keep that one and make
    something else for my friend. I adore those colors.

    dITTO again that is such a gorgeous table. I dont think the globe not being done distracts at all from the beauty of the table. You did such a great job. I love the use of the glass globs on there too!!

    The table is beautiful - she's lucky to have a friend like you!

    I am also off of work and looking for projects to speak to me. While waiting, I spent several days sorting glass, cleaning my workroom, organizing my supplies and taking inventory of completed projects in 2007. Late yesterday inspiration stuck and I've been working like a whirlwind since so don't give up hope!

    Your table is beautiful!!!! Can't wait to hear your friend's comments........she will love it! She must be a really good friend, and a lucky one at that......

    I am in a slump also....not inspired to do anything. I wandered out to my shed the day after Christmas, turned the heat up and lights on, and I haven't had the energy or drive to wander back out there......zzzzzz

    That is so beautiful! I don't think I could stand to part with it. If she doesn't like she needs to have her head examined! Of course she will love it, who wouldn't?

  • meadel

    Holy cow! I would have a hard time parting with that too! It's fantabulous!
    You have a very lucky friend indeed!
    ( yes, I feel the slump too.. kind of like a separation anxiety like a lost limb..but luckily we are like starfish and will just grow another one) !

    Squirrelly- LOVE THIS!!!
    very- take a look in the album; there's a couple other pix in there of it as WIP...this ia a GREAT light-table!!! What an awesome piece to just 'light up' if using in a bistro-basement...gotta find me one of these!

    That is so very awesome, wow! Love it!

    I think the reason for uninspiration is from going full force to get christmas presents ready and so focused on that. Now all done without a major focus and back to making the things WE like :D I am consoling myself by buying supplies and tools for the inevitable burst of creativity that will arrive very soon (or else!)

    I am very partial to anything done in reds. I would trade my right arm for that table! It is beautiful and would look wonderful in my house! How long did it take you? Did you follow a pattern? Do you seal your projects when finished?

    Thanks soooo much for the compliments!! She LOVED the table!! We spent a couple hours moving things around, trying it here and there, finally settled on a nice corner spot. It was hard to part with it but I just don't have the room for anything else in my living room. It's gone to a good home with a good owner, I think it will be happy there,hehe!
    Becky: I have no idea how long it took, only the middle parts were from a pattern, the rest just happened. I didn't seal it, maybe I should have?
    Thanks everyone!!

    That has to be one of the pretties things I have ever seen! I am usually addicted to Shabby Chic but I could get outside my box with that one! Glad she liked it! Thanks for sharing! Jennie

    I think it looks great as is, so I don't think it's missing anything by not having the globe done. What a lucky friend you have! I'm glad that she appreciated it and recognized it for the fine gift it is.
