A Couple Pieces of Stained Glass

Hi everyone! I'm happy to be joining Sally for Blue Monday and Sue for Rednesday today, please stop over to enjoy other great posts!
I was really devoted to stained glass a few years ago and I bought a small kiln. It quickly turned into one of my favorite things, I call it "painting with glass". I could cut and shape colored glass, lay it on a clear piece then fire it to 1650 degrees creating a "tile". Then I'd work that tile into a traditional stained glass panel. This small zinnia type panel is one of my rustic pieces, others I spent a lot of time grinding and shaping. 
  

This little cutie is looking for a good home! I call it "Determination - Today I'm going in!".
It's 17" x 12", I drew the pattern and it is one of a kind, e-mail me if interested.
Not the best pictures but my house has eaves and doesn't allow good light for stained glass pictures (ugh)
Have a happy day!
