A Fall Scarecrow Head

11/24/09 - A Fall Scarecrow Head - A goofy fall scarecrow head just in time for the Thanksgiving holidays. The head can be either decorated with the hair pattern or add a few stringers and give the more realistic effect of straw that is protruding from under his hat.

Thanksgiving is just a couple of days away, so this is will be one of the last patterns that added to the Thanksgiving Crafts page for this year.

Indian Turkey Head

11/23/09 - Indian Turkey Head - This is not your ordinary bald headed turkey. He is keeping his cranium warm by sporting an Indian headdress.

Indian Headdress

11/19/09 - Indian Headdress - A very colorful Indian headdress design that uses all of the fall colors. It can be made as a pin or add it to any other Thanksgiving fused piece. Use Glassline paints to draw in the details of the face. This is yet another of the many Thanksgiving patterns on the Thanksgiving Crafts page.

The Happy Harvest

11/18/09 - The Happy Harvest - This happy harvest pattern is a reminder of all the colorful fall vegetation. I have placed some corn and pumpkins on my piece, but you could add any fall vegetation desired. Use a little Glassline paint before firing to add a salutation if desired. I am still in the process of adding more patterns to the Thanksgiving Crafts page. There are lots of patterns on the page from previous years if you are looking for a particular design for Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving

11/13/09 - Happy Thanksgiving - This is an extremely easy and very basic pattern. White was used for the background on the piece. An adorable little orange pumpkin with a smiley face is placed in the upper left corner. Glassline paints were used for the details to his happy face and to add the writing. A thin candle curled stringer was added for a little color. This is just one of many patterns that can be found on the Thanksgiving Crafts page. Check it out!

Thanksgiving Acorn Cluster

11/12/09 - Thanksgiving Acorn Cluster - The weather is turning nippy and it is time to start thinking about some Thanksgiving projects. This particular design is for a cluster of fall acorns.

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie

11/17/08 - Pumpkin Pie - Who wants more pumpkin pie? This delicious pin is a little on the weighty side, but it sure won’t put the undesired pounds on your figure.

The pattern is very simple to cut out using a glass saw, and the elements are also easy to add.
