Some old stained glass pieces polished up

I renewed some old stained glass pieces that I'd worked on some years ago. Basically redid the soldering and buffed and waxed them. I kept the smaller one (now hangs in the kitchen) and gave the other two to Gina's mom for a charity auction.

Most recent creation

I've been working with stained glass for about 10 years, on and off, as time permits. I've done some basic suncatchers, cabinet panels, entry door panels and such. Recently I've taken to making lamp shades. They're not my first 3D project - I made a vase too - but they are the most challenging pieces I've ever made, and the most rewarding.

So far I've made two lamps to compliment some other projects in the home, and one lamp shade to match some store-bought lamps for another place. This is the latest finished project - it compliments the vase I made earlier.

I work mainly in the "prairie" or "arts and crafts" styles, but most of my designs are my own, so they might not fit cleanly into one category or another.

My current project is a pair of matching lamps using more opaque glass for a rustic cabin location.
