Stained Glass panels


"Modern" rendition of poppies, California's state flower.


















This was a contract piece for a neighbor who wanted a Xmas gift for someone who lived in L.A. They installed this in her front door where she had a clear class panel with wood spokes which the lead came in the "pie" shaped pieces of the pattern cover.







Daffodil panel using some interesting foil and irridescent glass for the petals and wire stamens giving it a bit of 3-Dness.















Hibiscus panel; love how this turned out. The tiny pieces on the unopened buds drove me crazy trying to foil and handle!

















Daffodils - used some interesting copper foil and made some wire stamens for the flower centers that make it a bit 3-D.
















Lotus blossom panel and I made the flower a little 3-D; had seen some panels like this and decided to try it with a pattern that was esstenially 2-D.













Clear glass panel - terrible picture. Need to retake.
