Sprint Racing Car

Filed under Gifts, Sports, Sun Catchers by on June 4, 2013 at 5:30 pm {no comments}

This Sprint Racing Car was made many years ago from a photo for our son Greg who wanted to give it as a gift to one of his racing friends in Edmonton, Alberta.  The center of the wheels was made using sheet foil with a thin layer of solder which gives the chrome look. Greg helped to complete the car by adding the lettering.

Stock Race Car

Some 10 plus years ago we had a client commission us to make from a photograph a stained glass panel of a stock race car.

Flory did the art work on the car and together we came up with the panel design from the photograph,  it was a neat commission that our client gave as a gift.

Over the years we have made a few of these, in fact a similar one hangs in our home and it was the first piece of stained glass that Bob made some 14 years ago.

If our memory serves us correctly we were asked by friends of the owners of Solderglen Ranches Ltd located north of Airdrie Alberta to make this panel of their Cattle Brand. We used  red Bullseye glass for the brand and border. Having a diamond saw allowed us to make the S in one piece.
