Flowers in another light

web-v-009

What I realized doing this post is that all my stained glass pieces except one, has flowers on it. Go figure… me,… flowers.  This first one hangs in my kitchen.  I love it’s simplicity and it’s colors.  The light that streams through in the morning is cheerful even on gloomy days.  web-v-016

I bought this arts and crafts styled one on ebay and unfortunately it cracked in one of the panes during shipping.  Oh well ….it adds character!

This green one was given to me by my neighbor.  It was in her garage covered in paint. Someone had actually painted the entire back side.  It was in sad shape.  I gladly took it off her hands though.   I am so glad I took the time to restore. it. web-t-002

These next ones  are my short lived interest in making stained glass.

web-t-016Although I love the finished products, that art is rather tough on the fingers.

I think I cut them more than the glass.web-v-013

    Nice to meet you through Tootsie! I love your stained glass pieces! We’ve been working w/stained glass for years, and you’re right, it’s hard on the fingers sometimes. (Never needed stitches….yet…, so we’ve been lucky!) The one you designed is beautiful!

    Lovely collection! The one you made is beautiful; I didn’t realize it was such a hazardous craft, yikes.
