HHU Treasury Challenge!

HHU Team and Friends of HHU hold regular themed Treasury Challenges. Many beautiful and interesting treasuries are created featuring members' and others' wonderful items.

A recent, absolutely stunning, Treasury was created by Nancy of DesignsStainedGlass  " S is for.... sunshine yellow!" for the challenge.

Today we are going to take a closer look at the curator's shop.

Nancy's shop is full of beautiful stained glass which she makes using the traditional Tiffany copper foil method. Her designs are beautiful, varied and include stained glass sun catchers, gifts, night lights, and panels. Her handmade designs include abstract, modern contemporary, traditional, and country styles.

Her hand crafted stained glass art pieces make wonderful gifts that can last a lifetime. She carefully selects the glass to be just right for the design and the effects created are different as the seasons and light change making her pieces an endless source of pleasure.

Once you have taken a good look at Nancy's treasury please take a look at DesignsStainedGlass .

Choose a favourite item from Nancy's shop 

               and tell us what item you have chosen;
               and why you have chosen it

in the comment box below the treasury, here on the blog.

Everyone loved Nancy's bright sunny treasury but...

What do we love in Nancy's shop? 

FabricGreetings

"I love pink and this meets that criteria. I think this would be simply lovely hanging in a nursery window for a little girl."

 Aloha Letterpresss

"This dragonfly stained glass is one of my favorite pieces. The beautiful dragonfly looks wonderful against the other glass that has a variety of textures and designs. It must be even more beautiful when the sunlight streams through it!"

 Jeanie

"I had a hard time choosing because I'm in awe of Nancy's work.

This panel has so many textures and shapes. I'd love to see the patterns it would create in a sunny window".

 Sewsouk (that's me!)

"Choosing is very hard as Nancy has so many wonderful pieces and such varying styles.

I love the heart suncatchers- such a simple design but so beautiful- a true artist never over complicates and the simple shape highlights the beauty of the glass. The beveled clear glass at the top is a clever touch which will catch the light and the blue textured glass- moroccan blue- is gorgeous in this one"

RobinsFlight

"I love Nancy's stained glass! It's hard to pick a favorite- I really like her abstract panels, and her imaginative night lights. But I think my favorite in her shop right now is this business card holder:"

Fabricgreetings chose this pendant fom JewelsbyJakimi's shop

"I really like the definition pendants from JewelrybyJakemi..They just seem to reach out and touch a special spot of my soul. It is really hard to select a favorite, but sister one has special meaning "
 

Alohaletterpress said

"I think Robin's tote reflects the Memorial theme so well. The attention to details with the design of stripes, stars, and colors are amazing!"

 Sewsouk said

"My favorite if from KPTography's shop. I think the use of the software designed for quilters to make this kaleidoscope effect is so cool. I love that the pattern is made up of the natural blues and greens of the wild bluebells in the original photo. I had a kaleidoscope as a child and loved daydreaming and making wonderful intricate patterns. This beautiful notecard reminds me of that time"

RobinsFlight said

"I think I like this dainty little necklace best of the items in the treasury because of its simplicity." This is from onelifejewelry's shop

KPTograpghy says

"I love these stitch markers from Jeanie B. Its a great way to remind me (even when I'm dropping stitches or battling a cat who thinks the yarn if for her) that I love to knit and love knitting for friends and family. "

JeanieBeanHandknits says
"This is one of many favorites from this new shop", impressionONE

 Lynn says

"I've purchased several of Fabric's lovely cards, and kept a couple for my own enjoyment! Each is a work of art. She has a keen eye for color and design, which is why she is also so adept at putting together such wonderful treasuries. It's difficult to chose a favorite from her shop, but this one caught my eye because it is so cheerful and pretty"

April said

Fabric makes the best treasuries! I love her girlfriends cards - they all make me laugh!"

 Oh La La!  seems to be a firm favourite.
