Just a Sip

Filed under Birds, Gifts, Sun Catchers, Wildlife by on November 12, 2016 at 5:30 pm {no comments}

When we first started to learn the art of stained glass we made this Just a Sip Hummingbird Panel back in 2000. The circular panel is approximately 10 inches in diameter, with an outer ring of clear glue chip glass. The blue background is a light blue Spectrum Artique #132A. We used a soft brass flexible U channel for the outside, with the channel and the solder lines all with black patina and polished using Clarity (Kemo-Pro) finishing polish. The design is one of the free design patterns offered by The Spectrum Glass Company.

While searching through our photos we came across this Butterfly # 3, which measures approximately  7 x 6 inches. It was made many years ago before we had a digital camera. Enjoy.

Elephant Repair 2016

Filed under Mammals, Repairs, Sun Catchers, Wildlife by on September 13, 2016 at 5:30 pm {no comments}

A client in Calgary has had this Elephant suncatcher for many years, unfortunately the thin wire hanging rings that were attached to the outside foil eventually came apart from the sunshine window heat.

Luckily the piece was rescued before falling and breaking. We then soldered fine silver chain into the reverse seams, followed by patina touch up, cleaning (Kwik Clean) and polishing (Clarity Stained Glass Finishing Compound).

The Elephant measures approximately 12 x 12 inches. The original unknown stained glass artist did a great job in using Spectrum’s Glass, unfortunately with the soon closing of The Spectrum Glass Company their glass will eventually no longer be available.

Mare & Foal 2016

Filed under Gifts, Mammals, Sun Catchers by on September 5, 2016 at 5:30 pm {no comments}

This mare & foal was made for clients in 2016. The design was obtained from Spectrum’s Glass website and we enlarged the pattern to measure 12 inches wide x 8 inches high. For hanging we soldered fine silver chain into the solder seams on the back side of this suncatcher.
