On the way to its' new home. Already sold. A new design that I put together just for this client.  The "ice glass" provides privacy but lets in a lot of light. The bevels add great sparkle to this window.   
You can learn to do this.
Watch this space for new classes starting the first part of June.

Just off of the work table and ready to go to the client. Two bevel clusters and 16 separate bevels to send colored light all over the room.

Transom

Just off of the table and on the way to Indiana.
This will match a side light already installed.
Let me know if I can build something for you.

Arts and Crafts Gold and Blue Transom

Just off the workbench and on the way to a new home.                             
A really nice combination of colors and textures, this transom has everything going for it.  
It will make a splendid addition to any home. 
I have listed the pattern on Etsy so if you would like me to custom make one for you just let me know.

Waterglass Transom

All in Waterglass, except for the bevel of course. Amber and clear with a center bevel to set it off.  It measures about 6" X 18" and is framed in strong zinc.  Just the thing for a wedding, graduation, or birthday present.  Yes, it is on my Etsy site for sale.

Just a bit of eye candy.
Placed in a restored frame from the local Dayton area.
It has already gone to its new home.   Enjoy.

A new small panel from over the weekend. 

Not a lot of time with all the family events going on but just enough to get this finished.

The June glass class is full but there is still space available in the July 15th class. 

You may sign up from the right sidebar of this blog.

Only $125.00 for the class with all materials included. 

You will go home with a completed glass panel to hang in your window.

Custom Blue Stained Glass Bevel Panel

 Start with a custom designed center bevel cluster. Then surround it with a beautiful blue English Muffle glass from the Wissmach Glass company in West Virginia. As a final touch wrap the entire panel in even more bevels. A dark patina, a strong zinc frame, three hooks so that you may hang it either vertically or horizontally, and 24" of hanging chain. This signed and dated panel measures out at about 12" x 17" and you should see the light come through it. A great addition to your home. Yes, I just had to put it on Etsy.

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.

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!

We Are Back !!

After a LONG rehab I am back.
No commission work being accepted but I am going about my own art work and Yes, it will be for sale.
Classes will resume after the first of the year. Watch this space for details.

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.

Barn Wood & Bevels

It is spring and that means it is time to pump up the inventory.
I need some new entries on Etsy, some new stock in the mall booth,
and a bunch of lower priced pieces for First Fridays which begin in May.
So, my "free time" will be all but gone at least for a while.
How to begin???  
First:   Take a nice bevel cluster,  
add some barn wood surround glass,  
stir in some antique seedy blue,
season with blue and green blobs, 
and top with some accent bevels = a really nice window panel.

Oh, please remember the beginning glass class on May 31st.
There is still space for you if you would like to learn this art.
You may sign up in the side bar with the Paypal link.

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 !!

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.
