New stained glass lamps




I've added some great new pieces lately. There are two new wall hanging stained glass lamp designs that are now available.

The first one is "Harvest Time." This is a grape vine pattern with grape clusters that has a great vineyard feel to it. The grape vine cascades down the stained glass with a diagonal background pattern. This is easily one of my favorite works to date. And also one of the most intricate.

What makes "Harvest Time" so special is that the grapes are raised from the rest of the stained glass lamp. So in addition to the lamp being a curved half cylinder the grape clusters are raised above that. Let me tell you, that was a lot of extra work, but the end result is really something special.

The next new wall hanging stained glass lamp is "Art Deco." This design follows traditional Art Deco design elements, with the tiered background as well as the tulips and peacock feathers. I used a lot of iridescent glass in "Art Deco" to further the theme.

With this stained glass wall lamp I also incorporated hand tooled leather into the design. As you can see the design on the leather ties into the design elements in the stained glass, allowing one to flow nicely into the other.

These wall hanging lamps are my own design and as far as I know I'm the only person that creates anything like them. Probably because they are so much extra work to make, no one else wants to bother copying them ;)
