Was Stained Glass Inspired by Rainbows |
| 9/10/2009 2:55:49 PM |
 I was reminded of the beauty of stained glass just moments ago after looking over to a glass table pushed off to the side of the living room for carpet cleaners who just left. The table was moved in the perfect position, under an open window so the sun could shine down on top and cask a great rainbow onto the carpet. I wonder if stained glass was inspired hundreds of years... Read More |

Stained Glass Windows Upgrade Dining Room, Big Time |
| 9/8/2009 10:05:48 AM |
 This isn't exactly the best time to sell our home, so we have decided to do some redecorating. We've always had a love of stained glass, so we decided we would put in some stained glass panels to give our home a whole nw look and feel. We have two windows in our home that have a blah view, so dressing them up with some stained glass inserts will look lovely. We found a... Read More |

She Borrowed My Stained Glass Panel |
| 9/7/2009 11:30:14 PM |
I have a good friend who's hobby of making stained glass objects has brought him some amount of fame, and many requests. Through the years, he has given me pieces of his stained glass works as gifts. Most of the decorative glass has been in stained glass panels; but, he has also made jewelry boxes, Christmas ornaments, and desk toppers. I have purchased some of these... Read More |

The House of my Childhood Had Amazing Stained Glass Windows in the Front Entry |
| 9/7/2009 8:20:36 PM |
 I recall growing up in a rather large home with my parents when I was a kid, and the most memorable part of the home was the enormous front entryway that had large stained glass windows on the top of the massive front doorway. The stained glass panels were very big and they portrayed a picture of a bird that was eating a grape off a grape tree. The coolest thing about... Read More

Search for the Perfect Stained Glass Panel |
| 8/31/2009 11:20:01 AM |
When my husband and I moved into our current home the front door had a clear panel of glass just beside it. We both thought a stained glass panel would fit in that space nicely. The stained glass would give us some privacy. We took the colors from the adjacent living room and began our search of decorative glass.
Between the two of us there was little time to physically... Read More |

 Stained Glass
For years, stained glass has been one of my favorite types of decorative glass.I’ve admired it in churches and cathedrals the world over.From Prague Castle in Prague, Czech Republic, to Notre Dame in Paris, France, I’ve seen some of the most beautiful stained glass panels the world has to offer.

Stained Glass as a Hobby |
| 8/30/2009 12:03:54 AM |
Many people have hobbies; but, one of the most unusual hobbies is making stained glass objects. Cutting a stained glass panel is difficult; but, putting all the pieces in place perfectly takes nerves of steel and the patience of Job. Having the glass in tight enough without having it appear too tight, or fusing metallic oxides into it requires a good eye, steady hands,... Read More |

Stained Glass is not Just for Church Anymore |

 Stained Glass Bookmarks
There is a flower shop down the street from me. I love walking by it and seeing how the display window is decorated, especially with whatever holiday or special occasion might be approaching. One day I saw some stained glass being put in on either side of the display case window. On my walk the next morning, I saw the completed project and was... Read More |

Rays of Light Falling Through the Stained Glass Windows |

 Stained Glass
Stained glass has always fascinated me. I remember the time when I was a little child. My family lived in the UK for a few years. Every Sunday, we went to church. This particular church was very old, very beautiful and had intricate stained glass windows. Every Sunday as I sat in church, I would study the different stained glass windows. Each window had a...

The Origins and Creation of Stained Glass |
| 8/18/2009 1:01:14 PM |
 One of my favorite educational shows on TV is called How Its Made. The show is simply about as the title suggests how random stuff comes to be. I recently saw the episode featuring stained glass (video segments attached below) and was blown away by what it takes to create the beautiful pieces of decorative glass art. It makes a lot more sense to me why stained glass can be... Read More with Video |

Stained Glass is Like a Religious Experience |
| 8/17/2009 5:06:08 PM |
 It could be that every time I have run into a spectacular example of stained glass it is at a church or maybe it is just coincidence but seeing certain colorful stained glass scenes is nothing short of a religious experience. Check out the video below and tell me I’m wrong. I don’t think you will be able to. Religious or not certain Catholic churches like the one in New... Read More with Video |

The Stained Glass Gift |
| 8/10/2009 4:15:40 AM |
When I got married, one of the gifts I received was the most beautiful stained glass panel a dear friend had made. It was a waterfall, and the colors were overall purple. It was rather large, and I hung it in an upstairs bathroom window. Additionally, I selected wallpaper with the same purples for the room, and when you walked into that bath, it felt like you had stepped... Read More |

Stained glass a dying art? |
| 8/8/2009 9:21:51 PM |
Growing up in Chicago I was a bit spoiled, it didn't take much hunting to find stained glass. Whether it was something fairly simple like the stained glass windows above our fire place, or something more elaborate at one of the many churches. Chicago in general has some great architecture and a lot of those buildings have fascinating histories. Living in the suburbs I... Read More |

My Stained Glass Window was an Inspiration |

 Stained Glass Window
My dream was in my hand. I couldn't believe it. I read the letter again. The novel was being picked up. I stared at the stained glass window I had installed a year earlier in my office and whispered 'thank you'. Since ordering and having the stained glass installed, I had sensed a different level of inspiration with my writing and the proof of where it... Read More |

Stained Glass an Awesome Artform |
| 7/27/2009 1:04:25 PM |
 Spreading myself too thin has always been a problem for me, and my latest arts and crafts interest is learning to make stained glass. I adore stained glass. It is decorative and functional at the same time so it's not only a craft, it is an art. I just learned that there is a hobby shop about two miles from my house that teaches how to make stained glass, and this fall, I... Read More |

Stained Glass Offers Privacy |
| 7/27/2009 12:01:32 PM |
 Decorative glass is installed to homes and buildings for the inherent artsy feel but I have found that stained glass sort of kills two birds with one stone because it also offers privacy. The church I grew up going to had huge upright rectangular stained glass panels positioned in the church entrance and behind the choir and priest. Whenever we would walk up to the front...

Stained Glass Panels Could Make an Unforgettable Gift |
| 7/26/2009 9:52:35 AM |
 One of the most extravagant window treatments available is stained glass, but it is also one of the most beautiful. Stained glass windows, especially installed in a direction that gets direct sunlight, particularly in the winter, can be a way to bring beautiful colors and textures indoors when the outdoor scenery is bleak. Churches have long used stained glass windows to... Read More |

Stained Glass For My Front Door |
| 7/25/2009 8:33:15 PM |
 When I visited my mother and father in Britain a few weeks ago I admired a new stained glass panel they have in their home. It looks truly magnificent and to be honest I felt ever so slightly envious. Right now there is no stained glass in my home. However we have some work to do on the upstairs portion of our house and I am considering purchasing stained glass at some... Read More |

Found Decorative Glass Hidden on my Desk after Cleaning |
| 7/25/2009 10:30:07 AM |
 After spending an hour to clean off my home office desk, I uncovered some beautiful decorative glass I had put there to enjoy while I worked. There are two types of workers, according to a friend of mine: stackers and spreaders. I happen to be a spreader when it comes to paperwork. If I put things in piles, I will never find them again. However, if I spread my work out, I... Read More |

Found a Beautiful Stained Glass Window Today |
| 7/24/2009 4:26:04 PM |
 This morning I had to go into a building I'd never been before and found this beautiful stained glass window at the end of a hallway. The sun was shining from the opposite direction, so I hoped that the picture would turn out OK. I thought that this stained glass window was one of the most beautiful I'd seen in a long time. I took the picture to show my family because we... Read More |
