Fooling around with stained glass.
Wanna see some of what I've made so far?

The leaves on the light box I made last night, and are about two inches across.

The simple rectangular things are the fronts of boxes I make that have a light inside to make a self-illuminating stained glass window.

The other window is fairly large and hangs in my kitchen window.

I'm starting to get the hang of this.

I like
The third one down in the list.

Nice simplistic design and I like the pinker hues at the top.

Works well, looks like you have the eye for it.

It's fun.
I draw it in AutoCAD, trace it on the glass and cut and grind. It's fairly precise work, requires attention to detail and a sense of aesthetics, and it a great creative outlet.

I've done a staff which has a 3D flame shape on top of it that I'm also quite happy with.

Nice
I like them a lot. Sounds like a lot of work, I'd cheat and just paint the glass :p

I really want to make a comment about next thing you should get the hang of is getting things in focus :p

It's all it in the best possssssibe taste!

Yeah...
I shot those this morning for a friend, and it was grey at the time. Still not very bright, come to mention it... Anyway, with the flash on I got glare, with it off I got blur.

Next sunny day I'll do it properly.

I can confirm he's a talented bugger.
Having got a light box at home which the Loon crafted with stained glass. Looks lovely with a tea light inside.
