Lovely work

[@gwenmartinsen3979]

This is the first video of yours I've seen, I'll be back to watch some more.! I love little gnome and fairy houses in the forest. I've been collecting bark and wood to make the houses, it never occurred to me to make my own wood. Sometimes I'm so thick. I make regular sized stained glass windows and yours are absolutely astonishingly good. Beautiful. I would love to see some little dots on the caps of the mushrooms, at least the big one. I can hardly wait to see how you've made the rest of your little town. Thanks for sharing your creative talents.

[@siobhanflynn5468]

Thanks so much for your videos .i luv them .i have tried to make a tree already .cant wait to try a window next .keep em coming .🥰👍

[@barbaragrace1992]

Those mushroom windows are sooo cute.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

thank you!

[@auntdeedeesdollnursery3212]

So glad you did that video, I really love what your doing. I can't wait to get this project done for my house. I find glass items in my garden. I also have added into my house broken pottery and dishes pieces to my house and I'm loving the look. Thanks again for taking us on the journey with you. Blessings 😇🤗

[@lfarren1020]

Thank you for sharing your techniques. The mushroom stained glass looks good. It looks like a fun project. Have a blessed day.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thanks so much 😊

[@d2parrotperson]

How very clever of you to use sea glass! I love the whole idea of this. Excellent.

[@DixieGirl9876]

Love the stained glass windows! It's been awhile since I bought any but, they may still sell in the craft stores a product called Gallery Glass a faux stained glass that came in bottles like paint but thicker, it looks so real. I've done many mirrors and windows with it, and it peels off glass fairly easy.

[@shaggyspade2468]

Great stuff I love your little tutorials! Do you plan on anymore that focus on foliage I loved your tree tutorial!

[@jantucker9355]

You’re so clever! Love the mushrooms! I made a stained glass window and used black fabric puffy paint on a piece of plastic.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

someone just asked a little while ago about puffy paint! But I had no idea, I'll go edit my comment and let them know it was done. And Gnomey and I just scheduled a post on fb , it should be up in about 40 min. He says to thank you very much, he loves his gifts and I do too! Thank you!!!! Very, very sweet :)

[@kikik5266]

I'm so glad I found you. I've loved all your videos. I can't wait to start a project with so many of your techniques!

[@lyndakowalke8858]

Fantastic - you are so talented and your love for this project shows through so beautifully. Through the video, we got a small glimpse of how much everything has grown. Would it be possible to show us on a video, a wee tour again. It is so.impressive? love and lighf 🙏💕

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Hello and thank you for the kind words! I actually did a bit of a tour on one of my latest videos, fast forward this one to 40 seconds kzbin.info/www/bejne/naWVfntjZcuNers

[@darnelleechols8556]

Love the video, Sharon. Interesting process.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lostinks]

Next, you will be doing a waterfall! Love..

[@2025devastated]

Glad you are back on you tube. Missed video's. 👏💗👍

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

thank you so much!

[@mucksforbucks6343]

So so glad you are back one way to resize things or and easy way is to use a proportion wheel. they are very inexpensive on Amazon.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thanks for the tips!

[@yo2sxm856]

I love your work 🤩❤ Keep it going 🙏and thank you for all your explanations .

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

you're welcome and thank you! 😃

[@cynthiarowley719]

I'd like to see how you save and store your recycling? Neat and sweet! Have you done that before?

[@debbralehrman5957]

This came out very nice. Adding the string was a real bit of inspiration. It sure does give it a leaded glass look.Thanks for showing the plastic option. I think it came out great on both materials. Thank you for taking the time to reference the size (depth)of the wall. I knew your walls are not that thick but I was surprised at first too. Looked like a tree fortress. heehee

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

lol Thank you! 😊

[@aprilmichele1647]

Absolutely amazing! I am so happy to see you posting! Such an inspiration 💯🧚‍♀️🍂🍄

[@ClaudiaMcNeely]

What a great technique! It is the best/easiest one I have seen. I love your window!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@cynthiarowley719]

Beautiful results and great to watch your thought process. Fun! And inspiring! The thread was a great idea.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thank you so much! That means a lot :)

[@deeaguilar2183]

This is perfect timing, I'm working on a custom church for my Christmas village. Last night I just had tried all sorts of methods to make the stain glass for the windows. This is going to work so awesomely! I love your Gnomes and where they live. I intend on making your trees soon. Thank you so much for showing me how to do this.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

ohhh you have no idea how happy that makes me, thank you for taking the time to comment, you made my day! This video was supposed to be up before Sept ended but I had issues with an app I was using for uploading. I got the issue fixed just today and I was doubting myself, with this delay, if I should post this now or wait. I got my answer! Have fun with your project, it sounds lovely :)

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Awesome work. Love the whole finished tree . Awesome work. Mike Espo .

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

thank you!

[@sherrycapstraw5096]

I love love love it...so cute..❤❤❤❤

[@aandersson9181]

Thank you so much for making and sharing this!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

My pleasure!

[@ainehealy-richardson3319]

Can the gnome homes be scaled down for fairies? Thank you so much for all these videos. They are amazing and you are the perfect teacher.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Absolutely, you can make them teeny tiny or 5 feet tall, the technique works for any size you wish. Have fun!

[@mariahh7906]

Love it! thank you for sharing!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

You are so welcome!

[@cheriwhitley8385]

Have u ever used gallery glass?..I did a around a old mirror with a flower and hummingbird and it came out great.really looks like real stain glass.the lead looks great and years later it’s still looking good!..I love how this turned out too...❤️

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

no, I haven't. This was the first project I've done with actual glass of any kind. Your project sounds awesome!

[@camillawhite6429]

Love this. Gorgeous, I will be trying for sure. ❤️

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Have fun!

[@GWest5068]

We miss you and your grime house...please do more....tfs

[@amopotato7953]

Could you use "puffy" paint for the outline?

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

I have never tried it myself, you can try a test piece and see if it sticks or not. I can't see why it wouldn't work tho...

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

I just got a comment that someone made one with puffy paint. They didn't say how well it worked but I assume it was fine.

[@darnelleechols8556]

Where did you purchase your rock tumbler from? I've been wanting to get one. It's on my wish list. :)

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

bought it via amazon. It's a Nat Geo hobby ed. I am currently editing the unboxing video for it, I wasn't sure if I should put it up yet but maybe I should now that you commented. I have done about 4 batches of glass in it now, I love it!

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Gorgeous ❤

[@sheilaackers3854]

Instead of using cotton could you not have added paint to glue for the lead?

[@kleenefreche432]

Woooooow 😍

[@vermontmom4232]

I wish my husband would let me craft away like that. He would never allow me to keep that bug project in our house. He has OCD and cant stand clutter, even if it is a project being worked on. Thanks for sharing.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

you need your own room, a work space to call your own! If you have a desire to craft please don't let someone else's issues keep you from that, you're just as important too... Crafting can get you through so much in life, I can't imagine not being able to express myself this way.. I just can't imagine it. I will think positive and determined thoughts for you to get your own space, a corner, half a room, anything where you can be free to craft. Big hugs! Start today manifesting your space!
