                                                            Mushroom, Fly Agaric
                                          This mushroom was used in the past by some Europeans as a fly poison.

                    The panel is 4 5/8" diameter. Mushroom, #1012-02, signed.
                                                                                                
  This is a leaded stained glass panel made in the traditional method. The glass has been hand painted with vitreous paints which fuse to the glass when kiln fired. The glass in this piece were fired three separate times to achieve the needed effect. The piece was crafted using solder over copper foil (Tiffany Method) and is bordered with lead came and has loops for hanging.

   I grew up around stained glass and  have had my own studio for fifty years. I still have many similar small pieces from my family that were made 70 to 80 years ago. This piece is new but made in the same way stained glass has been  made for centuries.

    Even after 50 years  as a craftsman there is nothing else I would rather do, than to continue to design and craft stained glass.
