Happy New Year

The Chinese character for Good fortune in stained glass. The colors seem a bit primary, but I like the idea and the linework.

Redon Revisited

I have mentioned in the past how I felt the artwork of Odilon Redon would work well translated into stained glass. The other day I was thinking of this while playing in Photoshop -

the original image - a pastel by Redon called "Golden Cell", circa

with some leadline added - does make the design heavier, but to my eyes it still works well -
