Well here it is October 10, 2012 and it is snowing in Innisfail. We made this Winter Solstice Moon & Stars for one of our daughters about 6 years ago and looking out at today’s winter weather we thought that it was time to show this piece of stained glass even though the winter solstice does not happen till December 22nd.
The blue glass is Spectrum’s Deep Steel/Sky Blue Waterglass.
Design featured in Stained Glass News Edition # 62
Many years ago we were asked to make a set of Maple Leaf Coasters in blue colors of the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club. For additional effect we used scalloped foil edging and also put a number of Vinyl Bumpers on the back so as these coasters would not scratch table surfaces.

This is the Star of the Order of the Eastern Star. Flory is a longtime member and we made this as a fund raiser in 2007
These crosses were made with some very unique blue and purple glass.
We delivered some of these along with other items to White Raven Emporium in Didsbury Alberta in late July 2012. They can be purchased there along with many other stained glass items that we have there for sale.

This Alberta Wheat Pool Elevator with an Alberta Rose was made in red glass which were the original colors of these elevators many years ago. Few elevators remain across the prairies but their memories will always be part of westerners who love this big sky land and enjoy these sun catchers all year round.
