Stained Glass Window- California Poppies




I included this photo since it shows the copper patina


My latest stained glass window is ready to hang. I finished the poppies a few days ago and put a copper patina on the solder.  I took these photos before I had my husband hang it up since it will be in a high window and harder to photograph. The next window I am going to do, I will be working with lead and learning a new process.  Making these windows has been so much fun, I am really happy that I decided to finally learn how after years of thinking about it!

    I just love stained glass windows! You have done a beautiful job. That patina is gorgeous! I don't think I will ever get out of the 'thinking about it' stage. Congratulations on a job well done!

    I am also a stained glass artist. Have been working with glass for about seventeen years. Visit my blog at www.whenthesuncomesout-irene.blogspot.com to see some of my mosaics. The patina makes the colors pop. Love your panel you did a good job.

    Le résultat est magnifique... Ces coquelicots et le feuillage dansent bien ensemble et j'aime la sobriété de votre travail.
