Bright Sidelights

I made these for my son and his fiancee for their house. My sons, my husband, my father-in-law and various other family members and friends stick built the house from scratch hiring out only the electrical, roofing and few other things. The house has very bright colors and my to-be-daughter-in-law chose bright colors to go along with it.

The pattern is one of Chantel Pare's free patterns. I have been doing stained glass for about 25 years, although I had taken about a 10 year sabbatical. With these I almost bit off a little more than I could handle. But I remained patient with myself and persisted. I was very pleased in the end.

Although I assisted with other parts of the construction (painting, hard-wood floors etc,) the windows were my main contribution. Now I am on fire again to continue with the art.
