art house windows and screens

821 Bradford has a cracked window and some torn screens. One way to fix it is to replace. The screens are only about $15 each at the local hardware store on Center Street. But there is a more artsie way. Glue stained glass to the cracked window. Dianna did it and it looks great. A neighbor, Sally, and I came up with a similar idea for the screen: embroider a patch in a bright color. It is something like screen painting.

Sally took me to the Habitat Restore yesterday. She had a bunch of screens in the car and explained that she is into a screen painting revival club. One thing led to another, and that is how we got to the embroidered screen idea.
