The Abbey Project!!!!

Graham, WA

I was given an opportunity that I could not pass up. Ray N. (the maker of the Beetles Bits cutting system) offered to make me a replica of a 1952 telecaster guitar out of MDF board to mosaic...how could I turn that down!!!! Well it arrived Monday!! Woo hoo..I am so exited about this project!!!!

I got my glass today and the Beetle Bits cutting system with the Flying beetle cutter to make my mosaic. I still have to get the beads that I want to go on it. I will be getting those next week.

I have 2 projects that Im doing that I need to finish before I can devote all my extra time to this guitar!!! I plan on using blue, yellow, red, orange and gold glass and tile on it. The guitar will be sealed with weldbond before I start.

If you guys are thinking about getting a cutting system to help you cut glass I definitely recommend this, its easy to use, I had it set up and cutting glass in minutes!!! The directions are real user friendly too!! Which really helps!!!

Here is the picture of the guitar and the template I made to hash out my design on. Im leaning towards doing it in a paisley design.
