Hello!

Welcome to my stained glass blog! Hard to believe it has been 2 years already...

About this blog I generally post about in-progress and finished stained glass projects I'm doing, but also reblog other people's stained glass creations under the #other's glass tag

Etsy Ko-fi Instagram Linktree

Sales/Commissions If there is anything that you would like to buy, or just ask how much it would be, please feel free to reach out through DMs or send me an email at [email protected]. I do post some things on my Etsy (and patterns on Kofi) but not everything and it tends to be later than things go up here.

Current status of being open to new commissions or not is in my header- if it says "Closed" you are still welcomed to reach out to me with your ideas, just be aware that I am already busy with projects so you will be going on the wait-list for the next opening. I have a page here (or if you are on mobile and that doesn't work try here) that talks a bit more about how commissions and pricing work. Or there is a form here you can fill out.

If you want to just chip in a couple dollars to help me buy supplies and get my undying gratitude, I have a Kofi!💙

Couple of backlogged progress photos, and an announcement/update!

Work/brickspace life have continued to be a bit of a dumpster fire, but have an organized list of what's getting done in what order, and the above projects that are hopefully getting soldered & finished this weekend (have to wait to see what doc says, but fingers crossed!)

That being said, commissions are going to be closed for the near future as I try to both catch up and start on pieces for local state fair/markets that I was originally planning on doing over the last couple months.

That being said, if you are looking for something small- still feel free to hit me up and I'll see if I can squeeze it in!

Probably should have waited to snag a pic until after I cleaned off the pieces- but back in business!!

Tried to make a personal instagram account so wasn't just doing everything through my stained glass one

Promptly abandoned the idea when discovered only way it would let me go forward was if I uploaded a photo of me

So in case anyone here happens to also follow me there, if that becomes a requirement for existing accounts too- I'll make an announcement here that I no longer have an instagram account

Starting to think there is an artist's version of the AO3 writer's curse......

IT’S FINISHED‼️‼️ The Brooklyn Bridge piece is finished!!! 485 PIECES!

I DID IT!!!! I started this piece the first week of January, and it has taken me to March 22nd to completely finish it!!

FUN FACTS and SYMBOLISM:

1.) I made this inspired by my trip to Brooklyn I took as apart of my MFA program

2.) My dad helped me make the frame (I would NOT have been able to myself LOL)

3.) This is my fifth ever stained glass work and my biggest, this was my first time working with Zinc framing

4.) It is 485 pieces in total I might be off by one though so if you get a different number let me know

5.) The “Brooklyn, NY” (bottom portion) is inspired by a mosaic I saw when I rode the subway for the first time

6.) The buildings are representative of the ones I saw on the walk I took on Union St.

7.) All of the greenery is there because I was surprised by the amount of Nature I saw in a city so big and dense, I saw alot of parks and houseplants and nature in general

8.) The waves are there because I took a bus ride from the heart of Brooklyn to the beach, (yes I went for a swim in late November, I was freezing and no I am not mutated (I think) from NYC water)

9.) The greenhouse is from my visit to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden!!! I LOVED IT THERE

10.) The sky is made of three different colors, white, light blue, and dark blue, I did it this way because I had a very limited amount of the dark and light blue, so I made it work.

11.) I got the majority of this beautiful glass from Renee I am very appreciative of her helping me choose colors and giving me some glass sheets I know she didn’t want to part with, but look how it turned out!!

12.) There is a chip in the glass on the bottom, and I’m keeping it for two reasons: one I don’t want to go through the effort of replacing it, and two I think it’s a nice reminder of now new I am at this, I started stained glass in December and it’s March, so I wanted to keep my mistakes in there to look back on.

And that’s a wrap!!
