Koi stained Glass

[CliffandJoann]

We share a few more hobbies besides gardening and ponding.
One being woodworking, the other is Stained Glass.

The koi and garden stain glass hang outside 365 day a year.

This is the first koi one we did in 2002...I gave it away to a visitor
who came all the way from Illinois to visit us.

This is little Red nose, it now hangs in the spot where the one I gave away use to hang..

This is the other side of the deck, where Terminator hangs and our
hound jumping over our pond to chase a rabbit.

This is a close up of Terminator.

This is a close-up of our hound hunting...this is a happy one.

This is the second window we made in 1995.
Mother and baby bunny... it is installed in our bathroom.

takes talent to make them that strong .I wish i had the time but with this place time gets away from me fast .Raining yet here and boy we need it so updating my garden plans and adding in the new measurements and growth rate of all my trees today .Gosh amazing how fast some grew and others didn't even though they were planted at the same time .Five trees I planted up one side of my driveway are all different heights .The tallest one at the top and the smallest at the bottom of the driveway .You think the one's downhill would be bigger since they stay wetter longer .

 

[CliffandJoann]

That's for sure sissy, you need a lot of time...I tell everyone -- it's a
hobby best shared with your mate, as little else gets done
once you start a piece...

Raining here too...the worst May I ever remember.

 

[sissy]

This is the first decent rain we have had in a month so it is welcome .It has been in the 80's and 90's here and very humid so this is a nice relief from all that .

Your pieces are beautiful!!! I've always wanted to try stained glass!! I made a table with a glass mosaic koi top earlier this year. It's raining here too, severe thunderstorms are on the way.

How do you cut the glass so precisely? I might just have to try this, lol.
