This rosy-faced lovebird was inspired by the magic of the beautiful small parrots that can be found living in the east valley of the Phoenix metro area. They entered the local ecosystem in the 1980s via the pet trade. Popular local urban legends claim they escaped from an overturned delivery truck, though wildlife experts believe the population actually grew from a mix of small escapes and pet owners setting them free. This sweet lovebird is 8” tall and made with stained glass in the vibrant green, blue, and peach colors they are fondly known for. This piece will add a fun little pop of color to your window or make a great gift for a bird lover. You may need two so they have a mate. Purchase on my website.

Stained glass comes in different thicknesses and textures. Some of the most visually interesting glass is the most challenging to work with. This ribbed glass is one of my favorite but, boy is it a pain. You have to line up the ribs for pieces that connect which means more glass waste and it’s hard to foil and to fit into lead came channels. It will be worth it though!

There are a lot of steps in making stained glass. Foiling is the Tiffany stained glass method. After selecting just the right glass, each piece is scored/cut and grinded to the precise shape and size, they are foiled with copper tape and burnished. Next they will be soldered and cleaned, then patina will be applied and the finished piece will be cleaned and polished. This 42-piece, 12” square, art deco deer will take roughly 12 hours to make. This one will also get a custom wood frame. Authentic hand made stained glass art takes time, precision, and care.
