Online Shopping for Stained Glass Makes So Much Sense |
| 9/27/2009 9:56:58 AM |
 Yesterday it seemed like a good day to hibernate, so I spent a few hours just browsing stores online and ran across some beautiful stained glass that I would like to incorporate into our home's decorating scheme. We have a home office that has a mediocre view and I thought that it would look really nice to have a stained glass panel in all or part of the window. I found... Read More |

Love the Look of Stained Glass! |
| 9/27/2009 9:09:57 AM |
My Mother was especially fond of the look of stained glass. She even dabbled in the creation of small pieces. My Mother made many stained glass window charmers and Christmas ornaments for family and friends. I still have a Santa and a wreath that are my Mom's creations. One year for Christmas my brother received a green stained glass replica of his Z-28, it was really... Read More |

Give your front entrance a makeover with stained glass |
| 9/26/2009 7:19:18 PM |
I was watching hgtv (again) and happened across an episode of Curb Appeal. I don't watch that show often, but I happened along a good episode. Usually when they fix up the front of a person's house, they don't jazz up the front door with stained glass. But they happened to be working on an old Victorian home and the front door had a large plain glass panel in it. The... Read More |

History And Beauty In Tiffany Glass |
| 9/26/2009 5:16:46 PM |
Since I was a little kid my mother has taught me about the excellence of Tiffany glass. My mother taught me that the term Tiffany glass describes a specific stained glass technique and style used in the manufacture of objects, including light fixtures, stain glass vases, bowls, windows and architectural details. Historically, Tiffany glass items were handmade by skilled... Read More |

The Sun Makes Stained Glass Pop |
| 9/26/2009 2:20:30 PM |
 The beauty of stained glass really shines though when some form of light showcases the handcrafted detail. I was reminded of this the other day when driving to a local golf course. Along the way, there is an old cathedral style church with two large stained glass panels adorning the left and right side of the entrance doors. Standing at, I would guess ten feet tall and a...

I'm in awe of stained glass |
| 9/25/2009 6:56:39 PM |
I have always loved stained glass. The designs and combination of colors are always spectacular, especially when the glass catches the sunlight. I have been in many beautiful churches and I am in awe of the artistry and design of stained glass. In the past, I have bought small picture frame type stained glass decorations for my home. I had one in particular that I loved.... Read More |

The Decorative Glass Completes the Product |
| 9/13/2009 11:24:20 AM |
My entire life, I have longed for a Grandfather Clock. As a child, I would visit my Grandparents' home. They had a huge Grandfather Clock, and it was just amazing. I remember the feeling of their home, and that clock. It meant stability, love, happiness, and good food! Going to visit my Grandparents was always a treat, and I enjoyed those visits immensely.
I always... Read More |

Decorative glass makes the room |
| 9/12/2009 9:08:25 AM |
 I have a few rooms that need that extra pizzazz in them to finally complete the room décor. The one décor item I have found lately that I truly love is decorative glass. In the past, I have had a collection of small, antique decorative glass bottles that were on my window sill. They were beautiful when the sun came streaming through the window. I now love the decorative... Read More |

Stained Glass May Be a Dying Art |
| 9/11/2009 2:33:26 PM |
 Past art exhibits, some museums but mostly churches, stained glass is hard to come by. I think we can all agree of the beauty a single stained glass panel can evoke when the light hits it just right, exploiting the hand crafted colors and piece’s story. As jaw dropping as stained glass can be it is becoming a lost art. I’m not in the stained glass world but from a layman... Read More |

The stained glass galleries at Navy Pier |
| 9/11/2009 12:40:04 PM |
I took my cousins to see the stained glass galleries at Navy Pier the other day. They are brothers and one of them is only three years older than me, but he and I love so many of the same things, mainly art. So I knew he'd love to see the stained glass galleries at Navy Pier. I haven't actually taken my time to walk through and see all the wonderful pieces of stained... Read More |

The Stained Glass Panel was the First Sign that this House was Right for Us |
| 9/11/2009 12:39:31 PM |
 Stained Glass Panel
I fell in love with a house today. We have been house shopping for about a month now. This is the first house I liked before we even got in the door. The front has a wonderful stained glass panel in the window. It made the house seem happy and cheery. I felt very positive about the house and sure enough it was perfect. It met all our needs and wants.... Read More |

Was Stained Glass Inspired by Rainbows |
| 9/10/2009 2:55:49 PM |
 I was reminded of the beauty of stained glass just moments ago after looking over to a glass table pushed off to the side of the living room for carpet cleaners who just left. The table was moved in the perfect position, under an open window so the sun could shine down on top and cask a great rainbow onto the carpet. I wonder if stained glass was inspired hundreds of years... Read More |

Learning to Make My Own Decorative Glass This Fall |
| 9/10/2009 9:06:43 AM |
 This fall I enrolled in a class at a community college to learn how to make decorative glass. Glass is such a common part of our lives and the decorative glass can be absolutely stunning. It's time for me to start learning how I can make some of it myself. Working with my hands is so therapeutic. My work is almost entirely mental, so I look for ways to get some diversity...

Stained Glass Windows Upgrade Dining Room, Big Time |
| 9/8/2009 10:05:48 AM |
 This isn't exactly the best time to sell our home, so we have decided to do some redecorating. We've always had a love of stained glass, so we decided we would put in some stained glass panels to give our home a whole nw look and feel. We have two windows in our home that have a blah view, so dressing them up with some stained glass inserts will look lovely. We found a... Read More |

She Borrowed My 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... Read More |

The House of my Childhood Had Amazing Stained Glass Windows in the Front Entry |
| 9/7/2009 8:20:36 PM |
 I recall growing up in a rather large home with my parents when I was a kid, and the most memorable part of the home was the enormous front entryway that had large stained glass windows on the top of the massive front doorway. The stained glass panels were very big and they portrayed a picture of a bird that was eating a grape off a grape tree. The coolest thing about... Read More
