Default Stained Glass anyone?

I haven't made stained glass in years but I found these pix of some I have made. Most are my designs, some are from books which I have altered. I always alter things, I even change lyrics to songs I do. Maybe I should have that seen about

I have a 293 Tiffany Dogwood dome 13 inch lamp cut to build "someday", it's boxed up and waiting in my darkroom. The urge will hit again I'm sure.

Anyone else do this art form?

Some of these shots are old and blurred, sorry.

I too love to do Stained glass, however I am currently without any tools since I moved out of my parents place.

I am hoping to take it up again soon, alas I have no pictures of what I have created.

I do have a Coca-cola pool lamp form, and all the glass cut, one day when I have a pool table.. I'm gonna finish it

My hubby took a class years ago. Once the basement is cleared out and we find the equipment I'd like him to teach me.
You did very nice work Gail

My sister used to do stained glass... and let me do a couple of projects. But she stopped when she got pregnant (lead and babies don't mix), and never picked it up again.

I admire your stuff, Shutterbug! Very nice pieces! It takes a lot of patience and care.

I used to have stained glass windows in my
old apartment. It was an old victorian house.
I miss those windows.

Could you do a stained glass beetle
and/or
the VW symbol(blue and white).
How cool would a stained glass beetle be??
