This one-of-a-kind contemporary hanging stained glass artwork in warm colors is currently for sale. I am posting two photos of this artwork because stained glass does not always take a good photo when light is coming through it. Thankfully, the human eye has no such problems. The main photo shows the colors more uniformly because it was taken with the artwork in front of a blind. The sunlit photo shows the beauty of the bevels, but the colors are too dark in places. In this artwork, I used 1.5 inch beveled squares along with the warm colored glasses. The construction was done with three different sizes of lead came, and an outer edge of 3/4" zinc came to make it strong. This artwork was tough to make. That's because the bevels come in discrete sizes (1.5") and the lead came between them makes it impossible to figure out the exact sizes of the colored parts. So instead of making paper patterns and cutting all of the glass before the construction phase (as i do with most or my creations), I have to cut and fit all of the colored sections one piece at a time. The overall size of this artwork is 16-5/8" wide and 33-1/4" tall.
