stained glass, stained glass panelI 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 large stained glass panels, I want to make small ones with lots of pieces of color in them. I love things that are small and intricate, so it makes sense to buy the Premium 20 x 30mm Jeweler's Loupe w/ Stand that will help me create the small objects.

I am envisioning making stained glass mobiles. I used to make mobiles all the time from seashells, driftwood and small rocks. I got the idea of making stained glass mobiles when I was going through a box of old stuff and saw both a glass bead and one of my old mobiles, so when I put two and two together, and came up with the idea of making intricate stained glass mobiles myself. I can get all the things I need to make them online, and I can't wait to get started. There are even tutorials online for making stained glass ornaments so I might be able to get started all by myself just by using the tools the Internet offers. I found this loupe at Circuit Values located at http://www.circuitvalues.com and not only will it be useful for my stained glass projects, others in the family can use it for close up work, too.

This loupe magnifies up to 30 times so we can really examine things up close. I like the fact that this is mounted on a stand and we won't have to use my hands to use this magnifier. It's a cool product and I'm really looking forward to getting it. It was reasonably priced and will let me make some beautiful stained glass mobiles as well as other things I have yet to discover down the road.

Arts and crafts are an excellent way to entertain myself and I grew up in a family that was always doing things with their hands, and I can't wait to learn how to make my stained glass mobiles for the house and patio. If I come up with really beautiful designs, I might even be able to sell them online, too. I didn't see that many sites for stained glass mobiles, so maybe I've hit on something here that will let me do something I've always loved and be able to make some money at it at the same time.
