The two pieces below are for lovers of pink (you know who you are!).
#48 20" x 24"
#49 21" x 24"
#51 (3 separate pieces) each 9"x11"
Vintage 1950 picture frames
#59 18"x20'
#s 57-58 The above windows are a pair made for some friends who had a long, narrow space to fill. The two 16"x31" pieces will sit side-by-side.


Below are some of the pieces I took to the Pocatello Co-op's 2010 "Winter Festival" arts and crafts sale.
 #93 15"x28"
Above is #93 in the kitchen of the person who bought it.
#90 This 18"x32" piece includes glass snowflake ornaments.
#79 20"x24"
#83 This 12"x36" piece includes ocean glass and shells from the Atlantic coast side of Florida.
#81 10"x12"
 #76 7"x9"
#73 This 6"x8" piece (above) is made with glass replica candies and a broken candy dish given to me by a friend. As much as I like to smash glass, I found myself wishing that this beautiful green dish was intact.
#34 16" x 24"
I donated the two windows below to Pocatello Co-op raffles.
#14 23" x 30"
#9 26"x30"
Tuxedo Cat #64 5"x13"
#62 6"x8"
#65 Ocean Glass and Shells   4"x14"

People often ask where to hang the decorative windows. Most of the windows look best when hung in a space that has full sun, at least part of the day. These two views of the same window (below) illustrate the difference between hanging a window against a white wall and hanging it near a source of natural light.
#41 12" x 31"
This window (below) looks very different with light coming through it than without.
#42 15" x 19"
The window below sits against a white wall, and the overhead light in the room highlights the colors.  The middle part of the window is filled with tumbled glass I picked up on the beach in Jupiter, Florida.
#6 20" x 30"
Often, I just lightly sand the wood frame and leave it au naturel. Other times, I paint the wood. The frame below wasn't too bad on three sides, but the bottom edge wasn't attractive, so I white-washed the entire frame.
#19 23" x 25"
