Parrot Panel Installed!


I finally finished the parrot panel and it has been installed. It is the focal point of a bathroom in Kentucky. The beautiful glass looks great day and night. This was my final leaded panel, and I am proud of the way it turned out. I painted the parrots' facial features on the glass on both sides. They would have been such tiny pieces of glass, and would have been lost if leaded. The beak of the 2nd parrot is a foiled overlay onto the window. It gives some depth and dimension to the panel.

My next project will be with glass fusing. I just bought my first kiln and although I have a lot to learn about fusing, I am excited about trying something new. I will still make stained glass suncatchers and do some mosaics.

Hi! I'm adding a link to this blog post on my blog, Fire and Ice. I have a story about my cat, Camielle, and losing her this summer (to larygeal cancer). I believe so wholeheartedly and neutering and spaying; I really like your story.
