Easter Cross

A gentleman phoned me this afternoon looking for the perfect gift for a friend of his. Apparently his friend has been attending classes in an attempt to covert to Catholicism.

Not only has he completed the requirements but his first Sunday Service in his new-found faith will be this Easter Sunday.

After chatting with this man I designed the two crosses shown above using some of his favorite colors. Each cross is eight inches tall by six inches wide and will have a pretty satin ribbon attached for hanging convenience.

Amber Cross

A pretty amber-colored stained glass cross-shaped suncatcher. It would hang nicely from a rear-view mirror, in the living room window or simply against the wall in a bedroom.

Available for sale here.

Whimsical Stained Glass Cross

Feeling whimsical yesterday - I sat down with a piece of scratch paper and drew a pattern for a stained glass cross to be made using various colors of the rainbow.

In addition to the pretty colors - I added curls of wire which are soldered between the glass pieces for added strength.

This piece is available for sale here.

A Sapphire Cross for a September Birthday

A friend of mine is fortunate enough to celebrate his birthday in September. In addition, he is a man of faith and has had to rely on his faith very heavily lately as he has had some family turmoil.

Knowing this I've made him a sapphire-colored stained glass cross. This pretty panel will look great in his new window. I gave it to him the other night when he joined my husband I when we went out to celebrate our birthdays.

He seemed to like it.
