Camera Helps with Identifying Decorative Glass Pieces |
| 3/17/2010 2:14:19 AM |
When I was growing up, I remember that my grandmother had this beautiful collection of decorative glass. She had it locked away in this small cabinet and none of us were allowed to touch it. I remember admiring the gorgeous colors and thinking that one day I would own my own pieces of decorative glass. What I didn't know at the time was that my grandmother would be the one... Read More |

Decorative Glass Reaching My PC Setup |
| 3/17/2010 2:12:13 AM |
 There is something simply wonderful about decorative glass. The way light shines through it, reflecting colors, shapes and tranquility onto all things nearby. I first fell in love with stained glass as a young kid in church school. Our church had very tall ceilings, at least 40 feet high. Stretching most of the way up behind the alter were stained glass panels adorning... Read More |

Hoping to Buy a Grandfather Clock with Decorative Glass Front |
| 3/17/2010 2:09:18 AM |
 I have always wanted a nice Grandfather clock. It is just one of those things that I always stop to stare at when I see one. Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted a Grandfather Clock. My grandmother had one, and it was beautiful with decorative glass on the front. It would chime every hour, and I thought it was the neatest thing. It sounded so beautiful and... Read More |

Bringing the Beauty of Stained Glass Windows Home |
| 3/17/2010 2:04:56 AM |
 A month ago we went to a concert that was held in a church that had some of the most gorgeous stained glass panels. Out of respect for the orchestra (and the rules) we left our digital camera at home, but later we called the church office and asked if we could come back and photograph the stained glass panels in the sanctuary where we heard the concert. They said of... Read More |

Stereo Headphones and Making Decorative Glass Excellent Hobby |
| 3/17/2010 2:02:33 AM |
 We have turned our home entertainment center cabinet into a bookcase for art size portfolio books and use the laptop computer instead because it plays movies and music beautifully. We bought computer speakers for it and a VGA cable for the TV, so we're all set and don't need a bulky stereo anymore. I like to make decorative glass in my spare time, and when no one is...

 My wife and I have really been doing our best to decorate the interior of the new home that we moved into in Tempe about year ago today, and part of this undertaking was to really make it different than our old home was. Inclusive of that was finding some really gorgeous and stunning decorative glass vases online to add to certain rooms in the house. You see my wife not only... Read More

The magic of Stained Glass |
| 3/17/2010 12:33:08 AM |
As part of my following the teachings and scriptures of Jesus Christ, I accepted a path of spreading the word of God to the indigenous people of Niger, located in Africa. I had never been to Africa, let alone Niger, but I was so excited to go and spread the word of my Lord and savior to the people there. My work began by building a church for the people of the Mon Gat Umba... Read More |

I have always loved stained glass |
| 3/14/2010 8:03:26 AM |
 I have always had a deep affection for stained glass. When I was little, I remember just admiring and staring at the stained glass windows of our church. I know I should have been listening to the sermon, but I couldn’t help being fascinated by how the light shone through the multi-colored windows and made the stained glass even more beautiful. In my own home, I have had... Read More |

Stained Glass Candle Holder |
| 3/11/2010 5:14:43 AM |
When I was a young girl I remember my mother had a candle holder made of stained glass. It was in the family room and was always one of my favorite things. When she lit a candle in the stained glass candle holder it emitted beautiful colors of green, yellow, red and blue. The flickering flame made the colors dance around the walls of the room, especially when my mother... Read More |

The Beauty of Stained Glass |
| 3/4/2010 6:28:37 AM |
I really appreciate the look and function of my stained glass windows. They are absolutely beautiful when the sun hits them in the afternoon light. The brilliant colors make me feel warm and comfortable. I placed them in those afternoon windows to block the bright summer afternoon sun. My front room was the warmest room in the house because of those mid-day rays. I did not... Read More |

Decorative Glass Factory |
| 3/4/2010 6:13:23 AM |
While visiting my husband's family in the Midwest we took a day road trip to tour a decorative glass factory. As the tour took us through the factory we saw hot molten glass being blown and shaped into candy bowls, vases and pitchers with curved or twisted handles. It was really neat to see how the crafters worked with that hot glass. They were able to make it do crazy... Read More |

Tiffany Glass Lamp Sets Mood |
| 3/1/2010 7:39:23 AM |
I just love the mood set by the light displayed from a mellow tiffany glass lamp. I have a tiffany lamp placed on an antique table in my living room. As dusk falls I turn on the tiffany glass lamp. When the room gets dark the illumination from the tiffany lamp is soft, warm and inviting. I really look forward to spending relaxing evenings in the room.
I found my tiffany... Read More |

My daughter and I have enjoyed doing things like making tye dye t-shirts, painting bird houses and then putting them outside in a tree with bird seed in them and watching the feeding frenzy.

Adding Personality to a Home with Stained Glass |
| 2/23/2010 11:24:31 AM |
 If we are not careful, it is really easy in life to go with the flow, move into a cookie cutter house, drive the standard car of the time and dress to fit in. I would much rather keep some individuality and live outside of the box. Some things in life are worth following the crowd with but when I own my first home here is where I’ll be able to show some personality. I grew... Read More |

Going to Start Making Stained Glass Mobiles at Home |
| 2/23/2010 2:23:56 AM |
 I love stained glass objects and have had a serious desire to learn to make them myself. To that end, I found this loupe online that should be useful when I'm making really intricate stained glass pieces. I talked to a woman who teaches the art of stained glass and she suggested that one of these would be useful for making the small pieces that I want. Instead of making... Read More |

Love the Look of Tiffany Glass |
| 2/20/2010 9:49:40 AM |
I just love the look of tiffany glass lamps. I have several of them in my home. Two tiffany glass lamps are located in my front room where I spend most of my relaxation time. Also in that room are a big screen television, my comfortable recliner and surround sound speakers. I enjoy the comfort and warmth that room offers me, especially at the end of a hectic day.

Opalescent Glass for Front Door |
| 2/17/2010 6:19:50 AM |
The entry way to my parents home sports two large carved wooden doors. Beside each of those doors is a long narrow window. The windows really light up the entry way in the daytime but at night they revealed too much of the interior of the house. My parents felt uncomfortable at night with the easy visibility into their home through those windows. Solution: installing a... Read More |

"How ir's Made" is the name of this show, and while watching an episode last week I was pleasantly surprised to see they were going to show how real Tiffany glass was made. I stayed glued to this show as I have a couple pieces of Tiffany glass and am interested in not just collecting Tiffany glass but... Read More |

Flowers wouldn’t be the same in my house without decorative glass vases! |
| 2/14/2010 12:17:13 AM |
 I find it to be interesting at times that something as simple as decorative glass vases can really spice up a room in your house. Take my bedroom, for example, there are several decorative glass vases that have really nice, fresh flowers that my wife keeps stocked in them and they really add to the flare and the ambience of the room. This is the same status quo for the... Read More
