Dancing Rainbow People In The Snow, On A Fan Lamp

Two More Views of the Dancing Rainbow People

These are two more views of the same Dancing Rainbow People piece. I just wanted to see them with different lighting. Too bad I didn’t think to raise the screen (snow pic) or put something white or cloudy behind the glass (fan lamp pic). But, they’re just for fun. Enjoy!  (snow photo March 2, 2009)

Red and Yellow Night Light

March 15, 2009

I made this night light near the end of February 2009. It is made entirely of red and yellow glass globs (nuggets) with solder in between. I didn’t really like it when I finished it, but when I plugged it in, it gave a soft, warm glow.

Building A Light Box For Viewing Stained Glass

Viewing Stained Glass Backlit By The Sun

I’ve wanted a way to look at stained glass pieces without having to wait for a sunny day to back light it.

Backlighting With A Light Box

Building a light box seemed like a good idea, but I wasn’t sure exactly what supplies I’d need.

Look On Google, Of Course!

I finally Googled it, and found a really easy description, complete with photos.

Make Your Own Light Box

These are the simplest, clearest instructions I’ve found. It was probably the illustration that put this one at the top of my list. Make your own light box.
