Thomas Critchlow Art Glass

I freaking love them!

Of course, I forgot to grab video of adding the mirrors, eye pieces, drilling the color disks and all the other fun finishing details. But, wow! I love it!

Thanks for following along

I added the brass rod and soldered it in. Then, I had to take it out. I worried I'd have to remake everything, but it was all fine.

I'm having so much fun on this project. Everything is going together nicely with no major hiccups, knock on wood! I'll need to fine-tune some of those little details in the final version.

I have to tell myself not to hoard it like a little Dichro Dragon!

I've been holding off on this project for so long and not for any real reason.

I think this new stained glass project idea is going to be fun and awesome.

Apples, limes, red tops on the mushrooms & cherries are made from cathedral glass - single color transparent glass. The morels and peaches are made from opalume glass - opaque glass. thomascritchlowartglass.com

Soldering feels like "almost done." It's hard but not impossible to fix mistakes at this point. Take a deep breath and just start! What are you starting today?

Stained glass suncatcher trio of red cherries as described in text

Is fun fruit Friday a thing? Bright red cherries, twisted wire stems, and deep green leaves look great in any sunny kitchen or bathroom window. Which reminds me.... I need to clean mine! Off I go!

Love this!

I've had some questions about the stability of my plant stakes. I gave them a good shake, and they are still awesome!

I'm so excited my Retro Cherries suncatcher is one of the final 6 for the Cute Fruit Maker Challenge on goimagine. What an awesome collection! Don't these just look like they belong together?

Thank you!

I keep moving these little morel mushroom plant stakes around! They look great in any indoor planter. I have them in my office space tucked in the cactus my kiddo left behind a few years ago.

I broke a leaf today and was cranky for a while. But, look! Here are my stained glass morel plant pals! Plant buddies? Pot pals? Idk what to call them, but they're cute!

Gee.... guess a pic would have been nice! Better late than never!

Cutting out the pieces for my next project. I'll rough cut these leaves and cut the individual sections for each once I have all the pieces cut.

I love Snowdrops!

Ailsa from Thomas Critchlow Art Glass here! Breaking glass and making stuff😄

Original to my 1904 home, the 4 sides are the same. It hangs over the dining room table... from a carved wood chain!

Drop shaped suncatcher, in purples and blues, hangs on a mirrored surface

I just finished a few of these... 12 hand cut pieces of art glass, foiled and soldered, edged in came. Cool iridescent blues and soft wispy purples... love it!
