Pretty much everyone that didn't move away too quickly ended up with a piece of stained glass from me this year. Many pieces are what we will politely call learning pieces, which is to say, don't look too carefully at the solder or fit or details in general. But I got a lot of practice and had a good time in the sometimes freezing garage. Glass is always pretty.
The many suncatchers/ornaments:
 |
| There was another small tree, that one with black patina, that I think I forgot to photograph, along with another holly and star with slightly different glass. |
 |
| Bee! |
 |
| Fox! I made another one of these too, with a slightly lighter glass. |
 |
| Freeform, semi-mutant gecko for my favorite lizard gal in FL |
 |
| Star being inspected by curious kitty |
 |
| Tree blinged out with glass beads. |
A few tulips (all with some serious stem issues - ah well):
 |
| The original model - single wire stem, so balance is tricky. |
 |
| Pair of pink tulips, now with double-wire stems. One has a truly bad solder attachment that I couldn't fix. |
And a quilt pattern panel for my sister. It has a LOT of pieces that had to fit together enough to at least provide the illusion of a square shape:
 |
| So many pieces! So few correct angles. But it worked out in the end. |
 |
| Square-ish |
The kitchen no longer looks like a gift shoppe with stained glass everywhere. And I am itching for somewhat warmer weather so I can start on more projects in the garage!
