			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div class='wp_fbr_top'></div><p>Spring is here and frogs are starting their chorus of wonderful sounds.</p>
<p>We make these out of a discontinued Bullseye Ring Mottle Glass which is prefect glass &#8211; fortunately we still have a few sq.ft. to make more.</p>
<p>The eyes are green glass nuggets and we also use yellow ones, along with copper or black patina on the soldering.</p>
<p>The large ones are about 6 x 4 inches and the smaller ones about 4 x 3.5 inches, attached to a metal rod which can vary in length depending on whether one wants to have them indoors in a potted plant or out doors in the garden.</p>

The elevator is long gone and so are the residents save for those homes mentioned above. You need to drive a gravel road to see the Scapa sign. We made this for a friend many years ago. We have since managed to obtain the original United Grain Growers Emblem which we now use on UGG Elevators.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div class='wp_fbr_top'></div><p>These cool cats are a great sun catcher for cat lovers. They measure 8 inches high x 5 inches wide. We used a Spectrum Black/White/Clear Baroque glass for the one below. The second picture is of a grey cat. The grey cat is the first piece of stained glass that Flory ever made way back in 1999 in Arizona. Over the years we have made these in various cat and collar color combinations</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">This is the Baroque Black/White/Clear</p>
