When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain...the Sun can't be far behind!

I finally completed the set of leaded glass windows for my son and daughter-in-law (Chris and Kari) as their 'late' anniversary gift.  I created the original sun design window to pair with the moon window Chris received for his birthday.  The pair fill a double kitchen window and complete the remodel of their compact kitchen.  They have utilized every square inch of storage space in the small room (note the shelf above the windows).


By the way, as a child I remember watching Kate Smith's t.v. show with my Mother.  Kate sang the song 'When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain' at the opening of each show.  Seemed an appropriate title for this posting.  Hope you are all enjoying the final countdown to the new year.

Blue Moon...

Okay, I've been missing much of the summer but wanted to share some of what I've been up to.  As many of you know, I create stained glass projects as part of my creative journey.  So, having said that, here is one of my latest projects.  The first photo is so you can see what the glass looks like with the light coming through (please excuse the window frame running dead center behind the project).  The next photo shows the project against the pulled shades so you can more clearly see the design.  I used a variety of challenging glass and there were differences in the glass thickness requiring a graduation in lead came sizes.  Let me know what you think.  In the meantime, I want to wish you all 'A VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING'.
