stained glass, stained glass panel

I have a good friend who's hobby of making stained glass objects has brought him some amount of fame, and many requests.  Through the years, he has given me pieces of his stained glass works as gifts.  Most of the decorative glass has been in stained glass panels; but, he has also made jewelry boxes, Christmas ornaments, and desk toppers.  I have purchased some of these from him as gifts, and they always are so appreciated.  I am honored to display his works, and I'm more honored to give them.  In fact, my best friend asked to borrow one of my panels I was not using to place in her foyer.  I was glad to share; but, I'll be glad to when she returns it!

I'm not sure where he gets his ideas; but, while attending arts and crafts shows throughout the state, I have seen examples of other's works that are similar to his.  However, his works have something special about them.  Like any good artist, he works with his heart, and the color combinations are extraordinary.  His prices are higher priced than some less talented artists; but, the beauty you purchase is well worth it.
