Pane in the Panel

Besides sun catchers, I also like to experiment with hanging panels.  Not the big full window type panels, but smaller panels, averaging 7 to 10 inches square, that can be hung in front of any size window.

Here are some of my latest designs.

Found a Geode slice and thought it might make an interesting focal point for this bevel and rust colored copper panel.


A pretty little Angle is at the center of this sunny yellow and orange panel with copper accents. 
Pink and green striped glass bring this lovely butterfly to life in a delicate pink and mauve panel. Perfect for a patio or garden window.

One of my favorite combinations is green and blue, which is reflected in the diagonal bevel panel. I was delighted that this was one of the first panels that sold at my last show.    
This bevel and blue glass panel caught the eye of a woman who wants to commission a window for the bathroom of the house she is having built. She loved the clean, clear look with just a touch of blue and wants something bigger to fit the new window. 


I may be a small studio, but I do have a very strict Quality Control system. His name is Arthur, my studio cat. It's his job to make sure each piece is finished, cleaned and polished and that all packaging is suitable for shipping.  As you can see, he approves of  this new box.
