Stained glass fan lamp.

I tend not to do much leaded glass; the rising cost of metals has pushed the price of copper foil, solder and came right through the roof, but small projects such as fan lamps, hanging window panels, and shades for hall or panel lamps are still doable.

The Geckos panel, a laminate-mosaic with painted pieces and dichroic eyes.

Laminate-mosaic is done with a clear glass backing. I use a special laminate glue to stick stained glass pieces onto the backing, and then I grout over the top. It gives the effect of classic stained glass while costing less in effort and materials, and nobody gets lead poisoning, either! A bit more fragile than the classic method though, and cannot be fixed once it has been broken.

8" x 10" longfin fish plaque with iridescent fins.

For the more common and conventional mosaic sizes:

8" x 10" = $50.00

10" x 13" = $75.00

16" x 20" = $150.00

Yes, there are a lot of fish in my work. My family belongs to a koi club and a lot of my customers do, too.
