I’ve also been meaning for a while to post about some of my stained glass. I took a class near the end of 2006 and made these pieces…

Almost a year later, I took a walking tour of the Pullman District here in Chicago. In one of the houses, I spotted the Cardinal sun catcher (below left). I took a picture at the time as I thought it was awesome, and that it was a piece I could replicate fairly easily. It took a few months for me to actually sit down and recreate it from nothing more than the picture, but I think I pulled off a pretty close approximation (lower right). I gave it as an x-mas gift in 2007.
