I've been a busy bee for a couple of days. Finally completed a stained glass window panel I have wanted to make for several years. As a matter of fact there are several pictures I have collected throughtout the years that I would like to make in stained glass. I keep these pictures in a box. I get these pictures from several places. Some pictures are from stained glass books, magazines, coloring books, personal photographs and even from the internet. Sometimes I come up with an idea for a stained glass piece and make a rough draft drawing on a piece of paper. I have been known to draw on a napkin while eating in a fast food restaurant. There are several napkins in my collective box of ideas.
It is the end of July and I am beginning to think of Fall and Christmas Art & Crafts Shows. I have been filling out applications to several shows this season and awaiting a response. As soon as I am accepted into the shows, I will post them on my blog site. I try to enter several shows through out Houston and the surrounding areas to make it easy for you to come and see my art work and hopefully find something you like to buy.
The panel I finished Thursday night could be considered a Christmas panel as it has candles and red ribbon, but I believe it could also be used year round. For the next couple of weeks, I will be working on several textured glass light boxes. These boxes will fill any room with a golden glow that will warm your holiday season. Until next time, Peace & Love
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.
