Birdhouse Gourd

by Antoinette
(USA)

My name is Antoinette and I started a beginners stained glass class 5 months ago and last month, the gourd that I grew last year was completely dry, but it had rotted and caved in, so I used the crevice to make a window. My next step is to use black patina on this window.

It is done in foil and I drew the design based on the hole that caved in. I'm hoping to learn how to do lead came work and create some windows for my house.

Is there a way to insert a candelabra sized light fixture inside behind the glass,so the colors show up? Its a great piece, and I am certain I have never seen a gourd used in such a manner. Hope it holds up, how did you get the pieces to afix to the gourd?

This is a very original idea. You start out small and keep learning. I took a beginners course 3 years ago and have since made stained glass windows and door inserts for our new home. It is so rewarding to be able to stand back and see the whole picture. Thanks to a tutorial site like Sue's you will be able to get all the help you need to become an expert.
