Asparagus – Festival

A few years ago we attended the local Asparagus Festival in Central Alberta. For the occasion we made this stained glass Asparagus. Fresh locally grown Asparagus is so delicious, especially when grilled on a BBQ.

Edgar Farms  (www.EdgarFarms.com) will once again on June 2 & 3 – 2012 run their Asparagus Festival. They bundle their fresh daily cut Asparagus with blue elastics which is why we have the blue on our stained glass sun catcher.

 

 

Easter Dove Cross

Easter a time for Christian Celebration around the world. This sun catcher cross is not very large and has an overlaid Dove carrying an Olive Branch made from wire. We have also made just the Cross by itself, however changed the design so the cross parts are all v shaped at the center which makes for a much stronger sun catcher.

 

 

We were given this pattern many years ago and subsequently discovered that the design was by Carolyn Kyle and Teny Knudson.

 

Carnival Masks

A number of years ago we donated one of these for an Alzheimer fund raiser in Calgary. In 2010 made the 2nd one for one of our daughters – Tanya who lives in North Vancouver as a Christmas Gift. We used Spectrum’s Waterglass for both of these masks. This free pattern is offered on Spectrum’s website.

This is the one we donated:

Weather Vane Repair

A client brought this horse weather vane to us in late 2009 to be repaired, it was coming apart and also had some broken glass in the tail.

This is the condition we received the weather vane.

Here is the restored Horse Weather Vane

Tiger Lily Repair

A wonderful client of ours brought this broken tiger lily to us to repair. She had been given this many years ago and was special to her. The tiger lily had been dropped and needed not only new glass but a total rebuild.

Here it is before we repaired it.
