On the way to North Carolina.
Just finished today.

It is nice to be back in the glass shop after all this time.  Rehab took a bit over a year.

Kitten Bevel Panel

Everybody like cute cats and kittens.  Right?  (well, almost everyone)
Doing some rearranging in the studio, I ran across this cat bevel and just had to make up a small panel. Nothing special but it has sold already.   YEA !

Just so you know:
If you are local, Xenia, Ohio area glass classes are starting up again.  The next one is on Saturday, March 25th from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. All supplies are included in the $125.00 investment.
You will leave with a finished panel to hang in your window.

Blue Bevel Panel

Let's see, 3 bevels down the center. A surround of crinkle glass, a very deeply textured glass for a really nice sparkle. Add an inch of English Muffle Blue all around for just a pop of color.  OK, I will add another smaller bevel to each corner. To top this off, a very special coloring on the lead lines and the frame....a rich copper tone on the lead lines and a deep black on the frame.
That should do it.   Now, take it to the store.

Green with Bevel

I just love this glass!
A large part of my fascination with art glass is the way light plays with 

the texture and color of the glass. When I was a child, my father had the 

front door/sidelights of our house replaced with stained glass and I fell in 

love with the art. 

I would go and sit in the entryway and just watch how the sunlight 

splashed color and texture all over the area.In the evening I would go 

to the sidewalk and just stare at the front with the light streaming out.

....Yes, I was hooked.
This is the latest project. A reclaimed window frame, which will be shown 

in the next image, that a friend brought over.       "I hope you can do 

something with this for me," he said, "I really would like to use this since 

it came from my childhood home."
This is what we did.  I will post another couple of images tomorrow.  

Enjoy!

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!
