Carousel Stained Glass

My venture starts with sheets of glass. The colors range from quiet, muted hues to brilliant shades of every color imaginable. I have always loved mosaics and the color and texture of glass. Glass is a wonderful art medium with endless possibilities. Most of the windows I have assembled are nature scenes; lake scenes with swans or egrets, arbors of vines, and blooms with hummingbirds, all sculptured out of glass. I am not a nature worshiper but a God worshiper. However, I take great delight in the nature that our God lovingly created for us to enjoy. A forest stream or a mountain meadow, a quiet lake or pond, and the creatures great and small that inhabit them are my inspiration. I enjoy recreating these wonderful creatures as three dimensional stained glass pieces. I design these creatures, sometimes using more natural colors, and other times using whimsical pastel iridescent colors. Each piece seems to have its own personality.
