One of the reasons I love stained glass is because of the interaction and reflections of light through the glass. I've found that some of my favorite types of glass to work with are the more textured pieces, which tend to reflect light in a more interesting manner than the flat glass.

I like to play around with new ideas and designs, not only to keep growing as an artist, but to see what others like the most also. After all, as much as I'd love to have a home full of stained glass pieces, I do enjoy sharing my work with other people. I love making a new item that has been commissioned by someone who is looking for a special and unique gift for a loved one or for themselves.

Here are a few of those pieces that I have made:

 I used a milky-white glass called 'firelight', and added 2 colored glass rounds at the top corners as embellishment. These are approximately 2-1/2" square and 3' tall. The candle shines through this glass, and instead of seeing the white light that you would expect to see, you see the colors of firelight as the name implies. Quite beautiful and one of my favorite types of glass!

I created these for a nice man who wanted a special anniversary gift. His wife enjoyed the romance of candlelight!
