Light Shining Through

With snow (allegedly) on the way I start thinking about home and safety, and for some reason that brings to mind the beauty and warmth of stained glass. The light glowing through the many colors always seems comforting and calming to me.


I've always been fascinated by stained glass windows, lamps, and hangings. The idea of taking so many little pieces and putting them together into a beautiful whole really appeals to me. These works caught my eye.








Featured Writing


These poets each give a different interpretation of stained glass in their writings.


stained glass – Countdown by :iconirishhippiepoet:

She has so much life in her
and it will show, in glass
that splinters with color
and tints her
forever in
blue.

Stained-Glass by :iconreekhavok87:

Here is mounted,
a stained-glass window.
Full of color and dreams,
each piece cherished by the creator.

The borders paint,
its picture, telling its story.
The pieces so unique,
each has its own title.

Different shapes and sizes,
it still fits perfectly,
With its epic story,
so appealing to the naked eye.

Stained Glass by :iconcodyy:

From the first grain
You take your shape
You acquire your colors.

Like a mosaic you come together
One moment at a time
You form a beautiful picture
You become what none other has
A heart’s deepest sorrow
A creation of what is beyond mortality
