Original Art | Foil Finally finished my Hobbit hole after fifteen months. “The Shire at Dawn”. I can’t believe it’s done.

I shared this piece once before as a work in progress, back when everything was cut but not yet ground. That part took… longer than I expected.

This is an original design built by me. I started plotting it June of 2024, and this weekend I finished the framing and installed it. It is so much more complex than anything I’ve made before!

I’d been planning to begin work on a Rivendell window next, but I’m going to be a father for the first time in a few months, and they say glass shards, lead, and babies don’t mix particularly well. So the glass will rest for a bit. With luck, my child will grow up to love Tolkien as much as I do, and maybe one day, this piece can become an heirloom.

The road goes ever on…

I need a project to keep me busy at all times so i designed this to have something to work on for awhile. It’s going to be mounted in a 60s Ludwig parade bass drum and will live above my stairs. I’m so happy with how it turned out! Here’s it right after patina and then hanging up in the drum.

I love how the blinds soften the light and show off the glow from the glass.

You guys really liked my Mothman piece so I wanted to share Bigfoot as well. He came first and kind of inspired the idea of exploring more of a kinetic element in my work.

My spouse and I recently created and held a raffle with this piece as the prize, and I’m so happy that we were able to raise a lot of money for a local, community-focused organization. This is a dark time, but seeing the enthusiasm for this and all the other work on this sub gives me some hope. Our original design, featuring lots of painted details and wire work. Art is and always has been political.

I was working at a glass factory and some coworkers taught me stained glass. I made two tiny projects and then this was my third one, and still the biggest piece I’ve done to date. It took probably 50-60 hours and it’s hanging in front of my living room window 🧡 (the blue patters and red scratches are enamel paint)

My take on a Victorian window. Was definitely a challenge but I’m so happy with how it turned out!

Found out the hard way that the jump rings I put on the back couldn’t hold the weight and ended up having to reconstruct a lot of it, but it worked out.

I have been very excited to announce this piece. Its 11.25 x 13.5 inches and wrapped in a zinc frame. I'm thinking the next piece should be cat ruling over aliens? I hope you love it.

I had an empty transom window in my house so I made a stained glass piece for it. First time creating stained glass - I’m a woodworker so I’m used to working with my hands but it was still a very different and fun experience!
