Description This piece was done during my senior year at college, and was just brought out again for a local art show, the Littleton Art Show, an outdoor venue in the autumn. The piece was put in a contest of all the crafts and won first place and a cash prize! It now has 2 blue ribbons to its name, and I am sure it won't stop there! Etude in Dripping Jewels is a completely copper foiled window with an art nouveau border, and has about 1000 pieces in it. The darker pinks in the middle of the waterlily are made by plating glass on the back side of the window, and use a principle of combining glasses to produce new colors. Some of the pieces are plated to 3 layers thick.
Next weekend there is another show with awards, which this piece has already won, and so the window Ex Pomegranate ad Lucem will be up for the People's Choice Award.

This is exquisite. The depth produced by how you used all the different pieces is so wonderful. I'd love to see it in real life, just the photo keeps drawing me in.

Stunning! The detail and curving forms are lovely. The whole piece has a nice sense of continuity and flow.

How large is it?

When I was a young boy my mother did a lot of work with stained glass, so I have seen first hand what is involved and how time consuming free form, non geometric shapes can be, as well as how difficult.

This piece and your lamp are amazingly well done and I can only imagine how truly beautiful they are when seen in person.
