When I was in college, I had two amazingly talented art professors, Val Kramer and Steve Smith. Val taught primarily the 2D stuff, and Steve taught the more 3D stuff. Val would often be working on a stained glass project while we were working in class, and I loved to watch her create her beautiful glass art works. One day, after I’d mentioned how much I’d love to learn to create stained glass, she offered to do an independent study class on it with me. It was one of my all time favorite classes. It took the entire semester to create the stained glass window below. (It took years before the Hubs and I finally got it hung in an upstairs window in our house!)
My photo is not the greatest on this…it was taken years ago on a non-digital camera, and I had to scan the small photo to get it on my computer. Not high quality, to be sure. I’d love to get a better pic, but it’s difficult considering the window is in place in a rather unreachable part of my attic at the moment. But I think you get the idea. I absolutely love stained glass and have done several pieces for my house and for other people.
