A couple of weeks ago my coworker & friend Diane heard I work with stained glass.Β  She had tried it years ago and is thinking about taking it up again.Β  I offered to go over the basics with her if she came over.Β  So 3 Sunday’s ago she came by and we spent a couple of hours playing with stained glass πŸ™‚Β  I’ve never really taught anyone anything before [!], so I was pretty nervous.Β  I learn best by doing, so I told her we were both going to make a stained glass star.Β  I didn’t take any photos because I was so focused on teaching!

We used the same pattern I used for my original stars:

Diane made a beautiful blue & white star which I wish I’d taken a picture of.

I made a blue star for my mom – it’s a [very] belated Mother’s Day gift. Β After Diane left I added wire swirls to each foot:

Then I made a deep purple star for my blog friend Jessica.Β  It has a wonderful deep hue and a subtle texture to it:

Here’s a photo of it from Jessica’s blog [she wrote a whole post about it!] which shows the true color:

I’ve been wanting to make Jessica a star ever since receiving the wonderful bowl she made, which she gave away with 5 others on her blog back in April.Β  I won the bowl I loved the most, which was #4 out of 6 designs:

The bowl looks beautiful on our very messy coffee table [it’s not usually so messy].Β  And it looks different in different lighting:

A camera flash brings out the creamy hue of the blue.Β  It’s such a beautifully made & glazed bowl!

Once the chameleon is done, I look forward to more stained glassing.

    You and Jessica are both so artistic, so creative, and SO talented at what you do.
    And, Alison, I love the blue star – the color, the added swirls, just perfect!

      Thanks! Wish I could have given you the star in person before you learned about it here, but being sick for the last 2+ weeks has put a real damper on my plans.

      Your bowl is very happy here – I LOVE it πŸ™‚ it’s become a place to put little things we don’t want to get lost. It’s perfect and beautiful πŸ™‚
