This is an original design that could only have been made with the support (and glass collection) of my aunt, Susan Hacking. most of the bubbles overlap another, and i was careful to try and use glass in the ‘overlap’ area that was as close as possible to the actual color that i saw when i physically overlapped the two pieces of glass. circles are very challenging to cut and this piece looks crooked to me, but i love it anyway. it’s so soothing.

My father, Walt Lowry, is a quiet man.  A sort of no-nonsense fella who always seems to practice that old adage “Think before you speak”.  However his artistic pieces of work in stained glass speak loud enough for me.

Papa made this for my mother to match a quilt she made,

My father took up stained glass later in life when he retired.  He learned it from My Aunt Suzy who is incredible with glass.
