Everytime I wear this necklace, I am asked where did I get it. I bought the necklace from Target, but I made the charm attached to it. On one side is a picture of my first son, John and the other is a picture of my younger son, Mathew. I scanned and cropped the original pictures and printed only their faces in black and white. I then sandwiched the pictures between two pieces of glass and soldered them together. I used a lobster claw to attach the soldered charm to the necklace. I love to wear this necklace and my teen boys always ask to see their cute little smiling faces.
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.
