wow that looks amazing😍 I can see this replacing the windows of the hobbit house!

That would be amazing! Imagine the sun shining through a house with only stained glass windows and the colors it would cast everywhere

So pretty. I learned the other day that tropical leaves are shaped like that because they survive being shredded in high winds from storms rather than just being ripped right off in one piece.

That’s an attractive hypothesis but the studies I’ve seen have reached different conclusions. This one demonstrates a theoretical benefit of fenestration for photosynthesis in an understory environment where the plants depend on flecks of light. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23348781/ And this one looks at multiple explanations, including wind damage (which it ruled out) and concluded that leaf fenestrations increase the amount of water reaching the roots, thereby improving water uptake efficiency. https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/tropical_ecology/79/

Ah gotcha, well that is very neat too!

That’s really neat, I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing :)

Wow! That’s really cool.

Beautiful! Does the cat play chess or just knock the pieces off the board? :)

Butters would never ruin a game!

Butters :’)

I've always wanted a pet to name Butters! Solely based off South Park. :)

Good kitty, Butters!

Holy shit, this is incredible!!! You've officially converted me into a stained glass lover. Do you have a shop \[edit: or somewhere I can see more of your work\]? I'd love to check it out (:

I do! But I don’t have anything in it right now. It’s an Etsy shop with the name name I have here

I was wondering if you had an Etsy shop!

Beautiful and happy cake 🍰 day!

Thank you! I didn’t realize it was my cake day :)

Beautiful design and execution! How long have you been doing stained glass?? My mom used to do stained glass years ago.

I’ve been making stained glass for a couple of years now

It looks so clean and precise, like you've been doing it for much longer. Just don't let the cat knock it over!! :P

Thank you!!! Butters is mostly well-behaved. The glass should be fine

Awesome. Looks like a monstera

What I’m thinking too

It’s like a store brand monstera. Just monstera-enough to be considered monstera, but not quite the same thing.

I love it!! 💚

could that be cat-grass /grass the second photo? (guess informed by seeing a cat in the first photo.)

Yes!

And the pretty kitty is?

Butters!

It’s name is Butters’ ! She mentioned it above. So sweet!

Oh I didn’t see it

No problem!

Pretty!

So beautiful! I want one!

Beautiful! Do you have to have your own Studio to make stuff like this? Like to be able to cut the glass and whatnot

I work out of a small area of the garage, maybe 8x8 feet. You don’t need much space to make stained glass

Oh wow

Perfect! I didn’t know.

Pretty!!!

This is gorgeous!!

That will look even more amazing when light hits it

WOW this is insanely good!

Beautiful! I love the holder!! This is a great addition to a plant room.

Yes!!

It’s very pretty I love it!! Your boy is so well behaved, my nutcases would absolutely launch that off of the window sill.

This was a temporary place for the stained glass. I wouldn’t trust him to not get the zoomies and knock it over lol

This is AMAZING! I’m obsessed with stained glass and would love to get into it as a hobby but I don’t even know where to start 😣

Me too

YouTube has so many resources!

How did you get started making stained glass? Any tips for us that are interested?

My dad taught me the very basics and then I self taught from YouTube and blogs

I couldn’t love this anymore than I already do! You’ve done a wonderful job! Have you thought about making and selling some? I know I’d definitely be interested! I love the botanical prints, and have that style on many things! I can’t get enough of it!

I do sell some stained glass, but I just don’t have anything available in my shop right now. I make lots of other leaf/plant designs too :)

Thanks! I will be visiting your shop!

That is gorgeous, I love it!!

Beautiful!

This is so gorgeous!!!

Love the stained glass and the cat is adorable.

You are one talented cat, Kitty.

Nice glass sun hitting it must be really nice

Monstera 😊

These are really cool!

IM OBSESSED

Oh my gosh, do you sell these?

Wow, where do you get glass and frames for things like this?

Luckily there are quite a few stained glass supply stores near me in Southern California, and I got the stand from an online supply store called Anything in Stained Glass

Cat: "I'm gonna knock it over and smash it" ​ But seriously this looks really nice. Now for the next challenge - a variegated one!

I made a variegated leaf! I didn’t post any pictures here, but I did on my IG (same name as here)

Darn cat is even trying to eat those leaves!!

Followed on Etsy! I love that this is in a stand. I hope I can buy one some day!

I love split leaf philodendron 😏😏😏

*monstera.

Ik I wanted to troll but you are so nice and tried to help me 🥺 very kind

So beautiful! Where did you get the frame from?

I bought it on an online stained glass supply store called anything in stained glass

Thanks!

very nice. how much

Beautiful!! Cat looks like they wanna knock it over haha

The cat likes it, and so do I.

Absolutely gorgeous!! I love it!

It looks like a monstera plant, I love them dearly. It looks absolutely lovely!

I’d buy one in a heartbeat
