My friend Linda did a few glass cutting boards some time ago, a really cute
WINE one was posted on her site, and I have wanted to do some ever since then. She was able to get some small one's at Dollar Tree but they have been sold out here locally. When we went to OKC last week I lucked into finding a few and last night I decided to do a design and then once I got the design done I figured I might as well cut it and see how it looked.
I did this one for my Aunt Betty and hopefully she won't see this and I can surprise her with it! I got the idea for the design on the internet and tweaked it for my use. I didn't do a trace of the basic design but I did do a trace for the rooster, barn and sunrise.
The cutting board measures right under 8" in diameter so some of the pieces were a little small and hard to weed out. I honestly didn't even think about the little "legs" underneath and lucked out about sizing it correctly to apply it. One thing to remember is that you have to flip the image since the vinyl is applied to the underneath side of the glass.
I am not sure what other designs I want to do but I don't think they will be quite as detailed as this one, at least not for the small cutting boards!
my all time favorite design of yours. i 'LOVE' this! i'm a lover of roosters. will you tell me where you got your rooster barn and sun? seems i've seen that somewhere. i'll go looking! i'd like to make one for me, and mabye put on my wall on my backsplash.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out fabulous! Great design! I have been looking out for these cutting boards but have only found one. They are hard to come by. Thanks for sharing another piece of art.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'm still working up designs to put on the ones I have but none will be THIS elaborate. Your aunt Betty's going to love this one.
ReplyDeleteVery nice Okie, Your Aunt will love it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! You Aunt will love it.

ReplyDeleteLove it! Oh now I gotta check out my dollar tree for those. They would make great Christmas gifts. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteWow ! I love it!! I need to make a gift for my preacher's wife. She's just turned vegetarian so this would be perfect! I know mine won't be as detailed as yours. It never turns out even looking the same project as yours when I'm done. Ha ! Thanks for the inspiration!
