Won't Quit

Lyrics by Barbara Cheney
These are words to a song I wrote and hope that it will be an inspiration to all.

There's something inside that won't let me quit
Somewhere within the light is still lit
The beat of my heart echos desire
To reach the goals that I aspire

So don't tell me no 'cause I won't hear you
I won't give in 'til I do what I know I can do

A battling force, won't surrender
I'm still here a contender
Won't let myself down, I believe in me
With help from above, His way I will see

So don't tell me no 'cause I won't hear you
I won't give in 'til I do what I know I can do

Another Wine Sign

The bottle is a melted clear wine bottle with lavender painted underneath. Part of the vines are textured and painted with acrylics and fabric paint. The front wine glass is made with cut out flat glass, connected together and then fused. Behind that is a painted glass with a wine charm made of fused glass. The bottle stopper is also fused glass. The grapes are glass with some color behind them to create a more vivid color shining through the clearer glass. I started cutting glass shapes when I was unsuccessful melting real wine glasses to look the way I wanted them to.
