Stained Glass

I decided to take a break from the dolls and talk about something else today. Stained glass became my hobby after we moved to Scottsdale. We had narrow sidelights by our front door and thought stained glass would look good there. I had a lady come out and give an estimate for several areas. Too much money. We couldn't afford it. So, I decided to take a class and learn how to do it myself. It was almost as much fun as doll making. I made the valance over the window a couple of years ago to replace the outdated ones I had made a few years earlier.

    Hi Charlotte.

    So glad you found me because now, I've found your blog, too.

    I just finished a weeklong feature on Mosaics, you've inspired me to take a closer look at stained glass.

    Happy Blogging
    Barbara

    Beautiful! My dad used to do stained glass...he never made an actual window but pieces that could be hung in a window. I can still smell the smell of the melted solder...
