FUSED GLASS Christmas tree. Kate learns how to make them!

[@sandofthesun]

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, How lovely………🎄

[@irhonda31]

Fascinating! These artisans are amazing!

[@delight3337]

As a local crafter myself I just love how you're taking advantage of using the local artisans' products for your Christmas Boxes.

[@catherinelittle2118]

Oh Kate, this series of videos about the Christmas boxes has been just wonderful. Thank you.

[@sheilamesick5964]

Just love watching each episode of the "how to" of each Christmas Box item and the folks who create them. Don't push too hard Kate, get your rest, naps to help the recovery period. I know you're excited to share.

[@dawnbowling6317]

I love all your videos Kate. I'm so happy to be part of the "lime green sofa". Thank you for sharing your creativity!💜

[@spinningstones]

It has been a treat having the daily videos and to see such unique artisans and their workspaces. Thanks to Anna too for doing the filming. We have had lots of rain this November in southern/eastern Australia so it feels more like what I imagine an English summer is like. Better than the fires of two years ago! Thanks for doing so much when you weren't feeling the best, Kate.

[@BAFriend4]

The glass is so gorgeous when all the steps are done. I loved last years. I love the trees.

[@SandraOranje]

So nice to see Philippa again. Those trees are gorgeous. Since I've got to know my favorite actor in person it turned out he has an amazing creative family. One of his family members does work with glass also. Bonnie Rubenstein is her name and she makes the most beautiful things like Philippa. Those trees you've made have a 3d depth in them. What looks like flat on the backside is floating when you look at it at the front. That will give some great sparkles hanging in a tree with lights. Awesome job ladies. Always nice seeing you in Kate's videos Philippa. ❤xxxx

[@phillippalee1966]

I will have a look at Bonnies work - it is always so inspireing to see what others are making. xxx

[@SandraOranje]

@@phillippalee1966 She has a Facebook page too. Xxx

[@charlotted6247]

Kate I know I sound like a broken record or parrot!! You have built such wonderful friendships and everyone is incredibly talented!! The trees are so unique and gorgeous. Well done Phillipa and Kate!!! God Bless you

[@kathidubach]

Lovely, thanks Kate! I had a chance to try out glass fusion with a cross I made for the first communion for my older daughter, and it was so much fun! Can‘t wait to go and make a second cross for my younger daughter for her first communion this coming spring! Hope your cold is all gone by now!

[@phillippalee1966]

It is fun to create glass things - you never know what is going to come out of the kiln - so exciting! xx

[@Gargoyleswife]

I adore when you take us to visit with Phillippa! I love love love glass. I'm loving how you're visiting all of these people and showing us their wares and talent.

[@michelleteeple7712]

Absolutely beautiful! There is something truly magical about glass. If you or Phillippa are ever in the U.S., you must visit the Corning Glass Museum in Corning, New York, watch the glass blowers at work, and take in the entire history of glass making.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

that sounds wonderful! xxx

[@phillippalee1966]

I would love to go there ! xxx

[@julialuis7936]

Every time I watch these videos of your Christmas boxes Kate , I think of a treasure chest we open and everything inside is a jewel. ❤️

[@donnaoakleaf1182]

We missed you when you were not feeling well, Kate, and are so glad to see you back and sparkling even as you regain your strength and perfect health. This was another interesting and delightful video of you and your family and friends preparing the Christmas boxes! Thanks for sharing the "behind the scenes" with us! I love the music you add to your videos, and this one was especially lovely. Bless you!

[@phillippalee1966]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thankyou for all the lovely comments xxxx

[@rosemarygilman8718]

Kate, I loved watching how the glass trees were made and especially watching you make some. Your wonder and delight as you addded the glass elements shone out from you like from a little child. You do have that childlike sense and it's one of the many things I love about you!

[@dianer.7026]

Thank you, Kate and Anna, for showing the process of all the special things that are going in the Christmas boxes. I just love this tree. I have enjoyed every video. I hope that I will be able to get a box this year. I have tried the last two years. Hope that this is my lucky year!! 😁Love and Blessings to you and your beautiful family. ❤️😘🤗🥰💕

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

What lovely treasures! Thanks to you all for having me along!

[@margaretbedwell58]

What a wonderful tutorial Kate. This lady is very talented indeed. Who would have thought those ground up bits dropped on glass and fired would turn out to be little trees. It was wonderful. Thank you Kate. Have a very Blessed day.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

[@WhatVivididnext]

Hahaha...just as you said 'I love people's workshops' I was thinking exactly the same! Utterly lovely.....though I would be scared of the cutting bit! Such beautiful trees for your boxes, bravo Phillippa.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I have had such a treat visiting all my friends workshops - so inspiring! and tonight you get to visit MY workshop! with the cutting, you just have to be BOLD! tentative cutting won't do it - I couldn't work with glass full time - too hard! I like my fabric - but I LOVE love love coloured glass! xxxxx

[@WhatVivididnext]

@@thelasthomelyhouse Yay for your workshop tonight! My cousin makes stained glass.......she let me have a go once but, erm, yes, I was far too tentative!

Lol you’re like a child in a candy shoppe applying all the colors but when she said ‘shimmer’, you perked up. Not only do you get lime green but you get shimmery lime green trees. Thank you for taking us to Philippa’s workroom. Another Hobbit place in the shire. She is a dear and she also happens to look like all the women in my family with our fair skin and red hair! Your Christmas box episodes are such an adventure. Gail K. USA.

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

You observed well - I rally love an opportunity to play with sparkly things! I am a very Happy Hobbit! xxx
