Overcast and windy today. I have plants to put in the big containers, but too chilly so I painted this little bird instead. I have asked customer service at Birds & Blooms what it is. Waiting for an answer. I have a hired man working in the gardens today and he is doing a grand job. Hopefully, he will show back up tomorrow. I have at least 2 full days work, perhaps 3.

So until I learn the correct name for this bird, I am calling it Little Brown Bird.

I have been designing and creating artist renderings of stained glass patterns for the new Glasgow Public Library. I have to do 4 of them and here is one they accepted. Now three more to go.

As soon as all submitted 4 panels are accepted by their committee, the stained glass artist will start creating the windows for them. The panels represent the Barren River County Rural life in Glasgow KY.

Finishing up the last of the wine bottle cheese trays with my series called, "Garden Bottles" which feature photos of flowers, butterflies and birds, many taken from my gardens.

I use a recycled wine bottle that is fused at 1465° F for about 9 hours from start to finish. Then use a trade secret method to reattach the label and create a finish that is glass hard without burning up the lable.

This is part of award winning American artist Arlene Wright-Correll's "Green Planet Series Recycled Fused Glass" series whereby the artist takes any glass object or broken glass and creates a piece of functional art out of it or with it. Now you can use it to serve cheese. This piece, after use should be hand washed in order to preserve its finish.

It also can be hung on the wall or on a rack hook when not in use and it becomes a decorative art piece.Buy this "one of a kind" piece of recycled fine art today and help to keep our planet green!
