This is a glass on glass mosaic window that I've been working on for countless hours over the last week....finally done! I took pics of it along the way, but it was one of those things where I didn't know how exactly it was going to come out...I found myself second guessing a lot along the way. But after it got grouted and in the light I'm happy! All of the glass was bigger pieces of scrap stained glass, the background blue was a full sheet. It's hard to tell but I used millefiori beads for the centers of the flowers, seahorse eye, and the fish eyes. Clear glass globs were used for bubbles over the sea creatures.

Thanks for all the nice compliments...appreciate it!!  Beautiful AGAIN!!! I really love these in the windows Meaco. That jellyfish is especially stunning! Where are you going to put it? This one I made to sell. I really love doing these windows, but I just don't have the space to put them at. I just kept the flower one I made and it hangs on my porch. |

Thanks again! These are so much fun to make. This is what the window originally looked like. I painted it black and then drew the doodle on the back. I was going to do waves at the top, but decided against it. I thought it was busy enough as it was.

What an awesome job you do with these! I think this is my favorite yet! I also like the black painted window..nice touch, I'm not sure I'd have thought of doing it. That's what I like about this site..the ideas people generate.
This is just a wonderful project and thanks for posting it Meaco!

Thanks again! My husband gave me a great idea that I'm working on now. He thought that these windows would add a wow factor to some of my shows and suggested that I make smaller versions of them since this one will be right pricey. I've got a lot of odds and ends shaped frames that I can add glass to and make. One can just be the crab and the other the seahorse in the seaweed. Anyway...he's such a good idea guy. :)

that is a good idea - not that the big one won't sell, you'll just have to have the right person come along Meaco!

Beautiful window, Meaco. I love the bright colors.
I also like you DH's suggestion of doing smaller versions of the window, I think they would be a real winner at shows.
