The colors of a stained glass window when the sun shines through is magical, but in a mosaic piece the grout is what makes the colors pop. I have been working with stained glass for over twenty years. I love the sound of the score, breaking and cutting of the glass. The pictures you can create with pieces of glass are endless. It is so exciting to see the final project and selling a piece of art is thrilling. E-mail me if you are interested in purchasing a piece of art.

Stain Glass Window Panes
I love to make something nice out of recycled or found objects. This three panel window was a found object thrown out at the curb. My children hate when I pick up things on the curb. I am a true believer of one mans junk is another mans treasure. I used scrap glass for the words Faith, Hope and Love in each panel with a picture to represent each word. The picture on the bottom is the result. It was sold at the first craft show last year. I love the way it came out and hated to part with it. Lucky for me I found more trashed windows to mosaic.
