Glass of Sherry
This window needed an extra coat of resin (likely could use a little more, but sometimes I go overboard). Now it’s ready to go to the SC Artisan Center, where it will be available for sale.
This is the largest Rainbow Row piece I’ve made to date at 30″ wide by 13.5″ tall.
This piece, Mermaid Tale, has been donated in support of the work of Operation Sight to provide sight-saving surgeries for South Carolinians suffering from cataracts or urgent, sight-threatening retina disorders. It will be available for bid at Operation Sight’s event:

I had a great time at today’s SC Artisan Center Handmade event. I met several other local SC artists as well as many visitors to the Center. I made some good progress on my next window, too!
Come check out the “Handmade” event tomorrow, Saturday November 18 from 10am – 2pm. SC Artisans will be demonstrating their methods! I will be working on a mosaic window. The address is 318 Wichman Street, Walterboro, SC.
I finally made a visit back to the SC Artisans Center to drop off some more pieces. I dropped off a selection of ornaments / suncatchers, a tabletop Palmetto & Crescent in colors a Clemson fan would appreciate, my “Corner Sun” window and my “Rainbow River” window.
I still have a selection of suncatchers / ornaments and coasters on hand in Charleston, as well as a few larger windows. The larger items currently at the SC Artisans Center include:
This weekend I was notified by the SC Artisans Center that my window, SC Fireball Sun, was purchased and is heading to a new home. It’s exciting to know that it will be loved by someone!
I will need to visit the Artisans Center soon to submit another window and/or smaller pieces for the Center.
I am excited to announce that Glass of Sherry pieces are now available at the South Carolina Artisans Center in Walterboro, SC.

I haven’t been very productive lately as I’ve been pretty sick with the current thing that is going around of late, but I have two new projects to work on around my house for 2023. We got a new front door and a new kitchen door and both transoms are significantly larger than the old ones, so I will have to make something new for both areas. I might alter the old one for the kitchen and see how it looks, but I am pretty sure I will make something new for the front door.
The old kitchen transom is stained glass coated with embellished resin. I might set it on another piece of glass and add a border in similar white shade of stained glass to make it fit the new transom, but I haven’t decided for sure yet. I did already cut the clear backer piece of glass for this transom, though. The old front door transom was dichroic and seedy clear glass edged with lead and framed with a zinc frame on the outer edge. The new front door transom will likely feature some dichroic glass and incorporate our house number, but the design is still forming in my head. It will have to be multiple panes of glass as I don’t have any glass that is large enough to cover the full horizontal length of the front transom.
Below is how the old transom looks when just sitting unsupported in the new front door transom window.
