Stained Glass

My current focus has been on stained glass. I always design my own panels, and take a fairly painterly approach in my work. I don't do this to make money - so far it's all for my own artistic expression and for decoration of our home. The left side of my brain houses an engineer, and I've always considered good technique an important part of any artist's craft. And I try as much as possible to keep my work green - for example I only use lead-free solder. I've had no problems working with it, and except for the price find it superior in every way. I easily adapted to the differences in handling.
