Kaui Hawaii Beach Wedding Present 2024

Filed under Featured, Gifts, Panels, Wedding Gifts by on September 30, 2024 at 5:30 pm {one comment}

An awesome couple who are good friends were married in late 2023. When he proposed to his future wife it was on a beach on the island of Kaui Hawaii. As a wedding present for them we designed this circular panel measuring 16 inches in diameter from Kaui beach pictures and also utilized some ideas and features of a Kee Beach panel we made many years ago.

The photo below shows the construction of the wedding panel – we were fortunate to have some very neat art glass on hand to complete this panel which included some Youghiogheny and Bullseye.

Chickadee Panel Donation – The Wild Bird Store Calgary

Filed under Birds, Commemorative, Gifts, Wildlife by on June 23, 2023 at 5:30 pm {no comments}

The City of Calgary in 2022 designated the Black Capped Chickadee as the Official Bird of Calgary, which prompted us to make and donate this panel which measures about 13 inches in diameter. with a 1/2 inch zinc frame.

We donated this panel to The Wild Bird Store located at 5901-3rd St. SE, Calgary Alberta. Their plan is to auction off the panel for the stores anniversary which will be on Saturday September 30, 2023.

They intend on selling tickets and will start advertising this in their August and September newsletters to get people excited about the event. All of the proceeds will be split between Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society and Alberta Institute for Wildlife Recovery. These are very worth while causes and we hope that the results from ticket sales will benefit their organizations.

The Wild Bird Store also sells other stained glass birds, butterflies and night lights that we supply to them.

Peaks Suncatcher Gift for the Order of the Eastern Star June 2023

Filed under Commemorative, Gifts, Sun Catchers by on June 11, 2023 at 5:30 pm {no comments}

This Peak design was a commission from the Order of Eastern Star as a gift for The Most Worthy Grand Matron from the USA. It was presented to her at the Alberta Grand Chapter meeting held in early June at Olds Alberta.   This suncatcher measures approximately 6 1/2 inches wide by 6 1/2 inches high. We had a beautiful piece of Youghiogheny art glass #1567, from which we used and matched the design across the suncatcher, adding bevels and inserting our Alberta Rose.
