Stained glass




This stained glass sits in my basement window and offers a lovely altered view of the outdoors. I used three layers of sheers - one for the jug, another for the glass in the stained glass window and another for the glass in the actual window (behind the stained glass). I sewed them all to water soluble stabilizer and later added the background. This was a lot of fun!

Wow, this is so cool. Great job on the transparency. I like how you have added the vase in front of the glass.

Hi Valerie, It's like view within a view...very creative! I like the sheen of the fabrics and the beautiful colors. Beautifully constructed...shadows, perspective and a feeling of depth..great job!

Just great, Valerie. I like the dimension created by the stained glass leaning in front of the window....indeed, very clever! Glad to see your work again.

Nice depth created by layering. Nice work!

Very well done... a view within a view.. Certainly lets us know it is transparent.

This is super! The bottom photo almost looks real and not of fabric. Great job for your first time!
