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!

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

  2. 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!

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

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