Glass block and Chickens

This evening, I'm feeling a little better, but still not allowed by DH to get up and do anything, so I decided to paint a little, I had finished the painting on this Sunday night or should I say Monday morning. Couldn't sleep wondering what the Dentist was going to do....
This is a oblong glass block I found when I went Junkin' with my Sis in Clinton several months ago
It had one end cut complete out, instead of just a hole drilled in it for a light fixture, I couldn't figure out why until I started cleaning it up and realized someone had used it for a mini fish tank, probably for a Beta Fighting Fish. But any how I think instead of using a plug in type fixture I am going to use a battery powered string of lights in it. I'll cover up the hole like this.
I decided to make this 2 sided where for everyday you could use one side and then this Winter you can turn it around and use the other side. I painted my white Hen and Rooster on the first side and put a red and white checked ribbon around it.
Now isn't this the cutest thing, just imagine this on a small table in your Breakfast room or on the bar in your kitchen or even your den...
OK, I'll surprise you with the other side when I finish it.
