Th...Hi Kaii!<br /><br />I'm so glad you love the butterfly! <br />The butterfly is a stained glass piece, but instead of using colored glass, I used clear glass that I painted with glass paints. First, I cut the glass, then grind the edges smooth. After I make sure the pieces will fit together, I wrap the edges with copper foil, it's sticky on one side so it sticks to the glass. The pieces of glass are then put down on a board and held in place with push pins so they stay snugly together. Then I take solder ( tin and another metal) and a very hot soldering iron and melt the solder onto the copper foil. This holds the pieces of glass together. The whole thing is a mobile, the butterfly and the pieces under the butterfly (which is meant to be a flower) all spin around. I had a lot of fun making this, and reading your great poem. Thank You for sharing it with us! <br />Kris<br />Thank You Kathleen!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745918161344486602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-53553467771117124302009-05-23T13:43:19.662-07:002009-05-23T13:43:19.662-07:00Hello everyone,

I am spending a very countrified week-end at my mother's house— keeping busy doing a lot with my hands— thinking ahead as little as possible. With a big deadline coming on Tuesday. Hope to be more available afterwards.<br />Still very impressed by the generosity and variety and variety of all the poetry I've read and seen here— meaning poetry as in the original Greek word "poësis", meaning creation...<br />Hugs to everyone. Special hugs to Natashe whose selfless imagination brought us all together.meherio68https://www.blogger.com/profile/03705914760374560271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-52594310764751712102009-05-22T23:49:12.772-07:002009-05-22T23:49:12.772-07:00Hi, Jennifer.
