Stained Glass Wall Art With A Difference

I found this on the web and wanted to share it with you. It really is the most amazing place, where the stained glass wall art IS the wall! The love and care that's gone into designing these abstract stained glass patterns, and putting it all together to create a whole environment of arts and crafts loveliness - is amazing.
The stained glass images are a little small to see exactly how they've been made, but it looks like applique, using coloured stained glass sheets. I can't see clearly enough to see if there's any stained glass lead came in there or not.
I wonder what it's like to live somewhere like that?...I'm imagining waking up to a stained glass ceiling... Has anybody been who can tell us more?
The name of the place is Eliphante, and it was built by Mike and Leda Kahn on 3 acres in Cornville, AZ over the course of almost 30 years. I found these photos using this link (cut and paste into your browser for more photos):
