I finally moved back to our permanent place (after taking a long break in winter), so the dome is now where it belongs to - presiding over my african violet.

Plant Dome

3rdkidpig, here's the link to the bird feeder/plant dome

I used this free pattern of the Internet, I just made it a 5 panel, instead of 6. If you make all 6 panels, there's almost no height to the roof pitch, and i didn't like it. I also put clear glass in the openings on all sides, but didn't have a bottom as you can see on the picture.

I am so looking forward to seeing your 214 piece project! Tatyana

Please, post them, 214

Please, post them, 224 pieces? The terrarium was 96, the most I've done yet....it was my second project too....You are brave!!!!!!!

Yes, we did start that

Yes, we did start that conversation, and encouraged by you, I signed up for his newsletters, and even had my mother in law sign up for them too :0 See what you started! I pulled this pattern of the free website, it was originally going to be a bird feeder with 6 panels. And I truend it into a plant dome with 5 panels, no changing of the pattern and it worked, all the angles came together just right.

I'll look it up and post the hyperlink here if you'd like. Gove me a day or two. Tatyana

Oh yes, that would be

Oh yes, that would be wonderful!!  If I get a chance, I'll post some pictures of my work for you to see.  I actually have one that I'm repairing - it was my second project ever and it had 214 pieces!  It didn't scare me but I knew I was in over my head!  It turned out ok but now I'm repairing it because it fell and a few pieces got broken.  Anyway, I have it so I can take pictures of it - I didn't do that before I gave it away!

Very nice, Tatyana!

I think we may have started a conversation on the old site about our stained glass interests...do you have a pattern for that dome?  I love it!  I like doing 3 dimensional pieces myself.  I have made birdhouses and bird feeders and a few panels.  I found a really cool site about creating 3 dimensional pieces - it's called stainedglasssculpture.com.  I have no affiliation with the guy but LOVE his creativity...
