Wallace's Hobbies - Stained Glass Art Work

by Roxie
(Ankeny, IA)

We had a half circle window in our home that I did not want to cover with the traditional fan window covering but it let in too much light for my husband's tv. I had taken some classes from a local glass store and I had created several small projects, but nothing of this size. It is copper foil, reinforced with braided zinc. There are several varieties of art glass and some painting involved to opaque the dog (Wallace) in the center. I hope you enjoy.

Milly's reply:
I love it! I take it your dog likes chasing birds?! This is a very complex piece of stained glass art work beautifully executed and thoughtfully made. I especially like the way you've chosen the glass to mirror the subject - the flying birds for example.
It shows a sense of humour and would be very welcoming for visitors I think. Well done for having a go at such a large piece of stained glass art - I hope your husband likes it!
