Stained Glass Spider WebsThe Fabulous Weird Trotters informs us of a thriving stained glass artform that I was previously unaware of. Etsy sellers Kelly and Roianne McDaniel of Augusta, Georgia made this stained glass spider crawling along its web which is nestled into the frame of household cased opening (meaning an empty doorframe). The iridescent glass in the panels and the body of the spider shimmer attractively as it contacts the light. This is an excellent use of a space often neglected in interior design.Stained glass spiders are trending on Esty. I like this creative use of the medium that is traditionally restricted to windows.#stainedglass

Ornate Wood Mosaics That Use No DyesAp MacKenzie of Woodland Porpoise Workshop is a master woodworker. His pieces are astonishingly vivid works of art. Lately, he’s been making finely cut mosaics made of wood. He doesn’t dye the wood, but instead chooses woods that have just the right natural colors, such as these that form the Sheriff of Nottingham from Disney’s Robin Hood.

Starry Night Stained Glass GuitarVincent Van Gogh’s famous Starry Night is ideal for stained glass. That medium lends itself well to the flowing shapes and colors of the painting. Etsy sellers Amanda Hawthorne and Frank Dettmann, stained glass artists in Canada, offer a fresh take on the painting with this guitar lamp.Whether you’re looking at it in the night, as Van Gogh intended, or during the day, the colors that seem to move as you watch remain perfect. As Van Gogh learned with the help of the Eleventh Doctor, this is how pain is transformed into wondrous beauty.-via So Super Awesome #stainedglass #guitar #StarryNight #VincentVanGogh

Stained Glass Whale LampJudy Yuu, a stained glass artist, makes beautiful works using irregularly shaped pieces. Together, they form vividly compelling shapes, often as animals that appear to be in motion. I'm especially taken with her lamps shaped like whales, swans, and sea turtles.-via So Super Awesome#whale #stainedglass #JudyYuu #lamp
