This freehanging one of a kind stained glass artwork, which also incorporates beveled glass is for sale. When I begin to make a unique beveled glass artwork like this one, I start by re-grinding the stock bevel pieces. They are produced en masse, and never fit together as precisely as the manufacturers say they will. Sometimes the re-grinding makes it so that the pieces no longer fit at all! Then, I have to come up with some creative way of still using the bevels I've already paid for. That happened in this artwork with great results... the orange glass and turquoise faceted glass jewels (see detail photo) are how I solved the problem of the non-fitting bevels. |

The full-image picture on the left accurately shows the colored glasses in the border (a mottled orange and a heavily striated teal), while the image on the right accurately shows the beveled glass and background clear textured glass. This artwork is leaded with 5/32" lead in the border and 1/8" lead in the center. As with most of my artworks, the lead and solder have been darkened with a dark patina. The artwork is shown here mounted in its custom-made walnut frame. Overall size is about 18" wide by 30" high. This artwork sold through Southwest Spanish Craftsmen, a furniture gallery in Santa Fe, NM that shows my artworks, but I would gladly make something similar for you. |
