I see alot of imaginative name avatars, I stuck with the one syllable version of my non-avatar life.

I made this window several years ago, sorta to big for most common windows in homes and apartments. Over two feet wide by three feet all.

The turtle outline is from a wood block I bought when I was 14 or so, just before driving entered my life. The overall theme is based loosely on Tiffany.

There was Tiffany exhibit at the de Young museum in Golden Gate park, where I then wondered over to the Cal Academy of sciences, and this popped into my minds' eye after looking at some marine turtles. I did not make it until a few years later when I was taking what I considered a goof off class while in college.

It is not well lighted in this image. My sister had an apartment once with excellent lighting, but I can't find any of those images. Those top corners inside the frame are purple.

I agree with Kelly, really beautiful. I always wanted to do stained glass. Never did get into it, but I now have a good friend that does it and well, I do have a few of her pieces.
