Sunflower

Springtime is just around the corner and lots of prairie folks are thinking about their plans for beautiful flower gardens. Of course sunflowers are just what the doctor ordered to brighten the lands.

With spring arrival lots of sunflower seeds are planted, which transcend into beautiful sunflowers with their huge seed pods. You can enjoy this beauty year round with a stained glass sunflower. This is one we made in March 2016.

Montana Bitterroot Flowers

In 2010 we made this as a gift for The Order of Eastern Star in Montana USA.

The Bitterroot is the state flower for the State of Montana, which was adopted on February 27, 1895. Our sun catcher measures about 7 x 7 inches.

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.

Here is the restored Tiger Lily

 

 

Dutch Tulip 3D Shoe

Today is the first day of Spring 2012 and what better way to celebrate it’s arrival with an example of our glass.

We made and donated this 3D Tulip Dutch Shoe in 2010 to the Order of Eastern Star as a silent auction fund raiser item.

 

Beveled Rose Triangle Windows

This is the first window we made. They were triangle in shape, located over a large living room window. The dinning area was elevated and the shape of these windows made it difficult for window coverings. The stained glass still allowed lots of light but provided privacy for the home owners especially in the evenings when the house lights were on. We used a pink Bullseye Glass that shows red during the day and pink at night depending on one viewing from inside the home or from outside looking in. Unfortunately we did not have the benefit of a digital camera in 2002 so do not have the best photos. Our clients a number of years later sold this home in Edmonton and had to leave these windows behind but the new owners were happy they did.
