Revamping my Living Room with Tiffany Glass Accessories |

 Tiffany Glass
I really needed something different in my living room. It needs a change. I have been looking at some Tiffany glass to add to my living room. It should be enough to give it a different look and feel without changing all the furniture. I was thinking of a couple of Tiffany glass bowls, decorations, and lamps. I am going to remove all the dark and wood accessories... Read More |

Stained Glass as a Hobby |
| 8/30/2009 12:03:54 AM |
Many people have hobbies; but, one of the most unusual hobbies is making stained glass objects. Cutting a stained glass panel is difficult; but, putting all the pieces in place perfectly takes nerves of steel and the patience of Job. Having the glass in tight enough without having it appear too tight, or fusing metallic oxides into it requires a good eye, steady hands,... Read More |

 Stained Glass Bookmarks
There is a flower shop down the street from me. I love walking by it and seeing how the display window is decorated, especially with whatever holiday or special occasion might be approaching. One day I saw some stained glass being put in on either side of the display case window. On my walk the next morning, I saw the completed project and was... Read More |

Rays of Light Falling Through the Stained Glass Windows |

 Stained Glass
Stained glass has always fascinated me. I remember the time when I was a little child. My family lived in the UK for a few years. Every Sunday, we went to church. This particular church was very old, very beautiful and had intricate stained glass windows. Every Sunday as I sat in church, I would study the different stained glass windows. Each window had a...

The Origins and Creation of Stained Glass |
| 8/18/2009 1:01:14 PM |
 One of my favorite educational shows on TV is called How Its Made. The show is simply about as the title suggests how random stuff comes to be. I recently saw the episode featuring stained glass (video segments attached below) and was blown away by what it takes to create the beautiful pieces of decorative glass art. It makes a lot more sense to me why stained glass can be... Read More with Video |

Stained Glass is Like a Religious Experience |
| 8/17/2009 5:06:08 PM |
 It could be that every time I have run into a spectacular example of stained glass it is at a church or maybe it is just coincidence but seeing certain colorful stained glass scenes is nothing short of a religious experience. Check out the video below and tell me I’m wrong. I don’t think you will be able to. Religious or not certain Catholic churches like the one in New... Read More with Video |

The Stained Glass Gift |
| 8/10/2009 4:15:40 AM |
When I got married, one of the gifts I received was the most beautiful stained glass panel a dear friend had made. It was a waterfall, and the colors were overall purple. It was rather large, and I hung it in an upstairs bathroom window. Additionally, I selected wallpaper with the same purples for the room, and when you walked into that bath, it felt like you had stepped... Read More |

Stained glass a dying art? |
| 8/8/2009 9:21:51 PM |
Growing up in Chicago I was a bit spoiled, it didn't take much hunting to find stained glass. Whether it was something fairly simple like the stained glass windows above our fire place, or something more elaborate at one of the many churches. Chicago in general has some great architecture and a lot of those buildings have fascinating histories. Living in the suburbs I... Read More |

Opalescent Glass Tiles for my Bath |

 Opalescent Glass
My dad has gotten the renovation bug. Being retired gives him the chance to do the things he likes, like renovating. He is actually quite good at it. He did his place and now he has started working on mine. It is something he always wanted to do, but running the business didn't leave him much time. Now that I am running the business I don’t have time to do... Read More |
