Rose Blanche Lighthouse in Stained Glass Applique

by Larry Stout
(Ozarkistan)

A Wyoming client had enjoyed "the vacation of a lifetime" with his wife, including a visit to this lighthouse in Newfoundland, so wanted it rendered in stained glass for their home (a geodesic dome!). I used the stained glass applique technique to create the lighthouse large, stone by stone, since stained glass copper foil would have required a ghastly amount of solder. One of the adhered pieces came loose during shipment (gasp!), but was easily replaced by the client, following simple instructions. (Shipping stained glass is always risky: insure it!)

Milly's reply:
They sound like interesting clients... I love the colour palette here, really subtle with nothing garish about it whatsoever. And the grouting lines are nearly invisible, it's a really good advert for the technique, as you can minimise the 'blackness' that is sometimes too dominant in leaded stained glass panels.

Thanks Larry.
