Bevels are the Best

I love working with bevels, those clear, sparkly pieces of glass that catch the sun light and fill a room full of rainbows.  You can't help but smile when you see the sun shining through a window full of colorful glass and shining bevels.  As you have seen in some of my previous posts, I use small bevels for some of the sun catchers that I make, like the "Pet Shop" series and the "Keepsake" pressed flower series. And if it's appropriate, I try to work bevels into many of my custom replacement window designs as well as some of my decorative window hangings.  Square, long, ornate or simple, bevels add a classic and finished look to a piece that is designed to catch the light.
