10 x 15 Bevel Panel


On the way out of the door, this very nice 10"x 15" bevel panel will be a great piece hanging in the new owner's window. Color will spread all over the walls when the sun comes through this panel. I just love what the bevels do in the light.

All Bevel Panel




Done originally as a custom order this has become so popular that I am posting it on Etsy.  We have sold 3 of them in the last week to students walking through the shop on their way to class.

All bevels it is just sparkling in the light.  Only $69.00 + shipping.

Christmas Window


I know, it is not stained glass. But it is the old wavy glass and it is in the spirit of the season.
I will be back to posting after the first of the year.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Work In Progress


Several new small bevel panels getting ready to go to the mall for sale.
In this area of Ohio the clients seem to enjoy clear glasses + bevels + small color accents.

The last one I did looks like this...
Several different textures of glass, a small stripe of accent color and bevels = a nice panel that fit in almost anywhere.

Double Flower Bevel Panel


It has been slow in the studio for the last month. Just internal projects and inventory building for the busy summer season.
Small bevel hearts and little 4" square accent pieces for the First Friday shows. Small things, easily carried and inexpensive to own.

Now that all that is caught up I have started on some larger panels for the Mall and for Etsy.  This is one of them, A double flower bevel with a vibrant blue line and gold dichroic accents. 
At 12" x 24" it makes a nice statement in the window.
It is available on my Etsy site. See the side bar.

Autumn Ginkgo Leaves



A few ginkgo leaves  in their fall colors.
The branches stretched  out across the glass.
Some bright fall accents and some very textured glass as a surround.
It is winter here...still.... but we can remember autumns past.
Remember the up coming beginning class on March 15th. There is only one space left.

Etched Glass


A little photo practice and some nice etching on this glass.
Just thought I would share it with you.
It is not easy to get good images of glass, so a bit of practice helps. 

Remember the glass class March 15th, if you would like to learn the art of stained glass. Sign up in the right side bar.

Owl Bevel


The Christmas rush is in full swing and has been since before Thanksgiving.
We have been buried in snow and ice around here for a week. Making it more difficult to get items shipped or to make local deliveries.
Ah, the joys of a retail business.

So, not a new item today but a bevel panel that I made years ago.

It has assumed its new place in the family room with dignity and grace.
This morning the sunrise was just beginning and spot lighted it.
I just had to take a photo and share it.

You may have noticed the Etsy listing in the sidebar is active again.

If you see anything you like please feel free to order.

Merry Christmas To All !!

New Furnace



A new gas furnace now resides in the glass shop.
After trying all the latest electric and infra-red heaters
and freezing my glass off, I bit the wallet and had the
gas furnace installed.  
Ah, a nice cozy, warm space.
Now I can get back to work on the back up of orders
and start the classes going once again.
Watch this space for class times and information.
This is a detail form a panel I made for the client's
dinning room window which is decorated in 
the arts and crafts style.

Bathroom Glass



The same home, different room.
This is used as a privacy window in the shower.
This window faces East so the sunrise should be
just great coming through the beveled center.

My first class in the new studio is on Nov 16th.
It is full already...( if you snooze, you lose).

Watch this space for info on up coming classes
and of course the Paypal sign up in the sidebar.

New Bevel Panel


The beginnings of a 24" x 36" window panel for a clients living room.
This is the center bevel group which is surrounded in a nice glue chip. 
Green accent globs and some 2" square bevels complete
the center section. A pink / salmon wispy surround with bevel 
corners will complete the panel.  
Well, "complete" if you don't count the frame,
the patina, and the hangers.
I will post some progress images as I work and the finished piece when it is done.

In The Racks


I have been  working in the new shop since Monday.
It is such a pleasure to have this much space: about 300 square feet.
The last place was 80 square feet and almost unworkable for any project over 20" x24"..
I looked over yesterday at the sun coming in on all the glass in the racks and saw this...thought I would share it with you.
Just look at that...one of the reasons that I love stained glass.

Window Art


Just a quick post showing some slag glass that I keep in the studio window.
I  have so much work to catch up on...
Being shut down for 6 months is a real bummer.
OK, back to work..

New Glass Shop


At last....All ready to go !!
When you are moving, every thing takes longer and costs more then you had planned for....it is just a rule.
But it is now finished: glass block windows, air conditioning & heating, new electric installed, and insulation is in place.
Much larger than the last space it will allow for more complex and larger projects....and there is space for classes!

I will post more on the glass classes later but the

space was laid out with classes in mind.
So, I will be teaching...

New Shop Space


Everything unloaded in the new shop.
Stacked in the center for now as there is still so much to be done.
The walls, ceiling, and floor need painting...
The glass block windows need to be installed.
One of the block windows will have an air conditioner.
Light panels need  to be wired.
Oh yes, the new electric work needs to be done.
Then and only then can I begin to arrange this space.
Off to a great start, don't you think??

The Big Move

We have moved..
not a long move, just across town.
But it took 33 days to get it all done.
Have you ever had to move a glass shop?
I do not recommend it unless you absolutely have to do it.

Now the arranging begins.
Every thing, except the large sheets of glass, is in a box.
I hope to be ready to work within a week.
I have empty walls to fill in the mall.
Not to mention Etsy which has been left alone for far too long.

So, watch this space....
more is on the way....

Traditional Bevel Flower



I just finished this traditional bevel flower panel.
The flower bevel is made from extra thick glass and has great refraction as the light flows through it. Sparkles are just everywhere.
I made the rest from various textures of clear (not colored) glass and even added a bit of iridized glass for a counterpoint of soft tonality. A very small red accent on each side set into the Jack Frost glass border and a rich black patina completes the panel.
This is the current trend. The use of textural glass in clear or very soft colors.
These panels compliment almost any decor and do not impose themselves on the room.
Yes, I had to put it on Etsy.
