let me know what you think! I hope to do some larger window-style tiki glass panels in the future. I have been working in stained glass for a few months now, it is an amazing medium!
I am new here, am I allowed to post prices etc? thanks!

Yeah, it took me a while too. It's slightly less painful if you practice in the "Test Messages Area" below.

Texastiki, I can't see the images in Mozilla & I'm getting little red "X"s in IE, too. I'm getting a "Forbidden" message from your server when I open them as a link.

You can also hit edit on the original post, copy the url and paste it in a new broswer window and veiw them that way, it worked for me. I like the yellow one, it looks like he's whistling

Below is a link to one of the pictures. I think those came out pretty good myself.
Link must be copy and pasted. I did a rightclick, properties but this is the only one them worked when I posted. Apparently imagestation does not support hot linking

Great stained glass. I love it!

Johnny Dollar, laughed out loud! What can I say I love slapstick humor.

Oops, ok, speaking of errors. Why did my message post twice? I only hit the submit button once. Call me a newbee.

thanks!! I emailed Shag & co. a few weeks ago about whether there would be a copyright issue in selling these, but I never heard back...so I assume it must be OK

it's been a while since I did any glass tikis, but I just finished a nice 10 x 11" panel...some areas of the leaves & face are done with glass paint, then fired in a kiln to become permanent. this is a wedding gift for my friends, but I can reproduce another one from the same pattern if anyone is interested.
the photos are with the piece on a light table, and hanging in a window with natural light. as always, photos don't do it justice, as stained glass always looks much better "in person".
