Painted gourds from Sandy Taylor's Hot Off The Vine.
She used the Hummingbird Lamp Pattern as a srouce of inspiration,
as well as the Fuschia and Pansy Orchid.
Sandy's natural painted gourds are breathtakingly beautiful.


Two from the Beagle Collection and a gorgeous tray from the Cat Collection.
Thanks Joy for sharing these great photos!

	LaWatha used an appealing, varied and harmonious glass palette for her Calla Lily. She used colors and texture to set off the creamy flowers to perfection!
	These Ballet Slippers were made in a special way. The white and blue background is an overlay of white baroque on blue, and the slippers themselves are mounted on top with glue. Dave has his own trademark way of creating in glass!
	Vicky sent those pictures of patterns she adapted from the Cattleya loddigesii pattern. Lovely glass, as usual!
	Jaye-Lee Haas of upstate New York quilted the Quiet Angel in rich irisdescent fabrics, and gave the wings a three-dimensional quality. Lovely handiwork!
	Judy made a special request for Viking Artefacts in the forum's Pattern Suggestion Box. Very nicely done; the metallic colors remind the viewers that the Vikings were excellent smiths.
	Susan just sent in a photo of her Emerald Tree Snake which she modified quite nicely. She generously donated it to the Herpatological Society of Tennessee to be sold in a silent auction. The proceeds will benefit a scholarship foundation and to help restore lost habitat and animal wildlife refuges damaged by Hurricane Katrina. I am absolutely delighted that more and more people are espousing worthy causes such as this one.
	Ree's Barn Owl serves an important purpose. She wrote "My father wanted a big owl to hang in his living room window to discourage the birds from flying into it. Your pattern was the nicest one I could find and I was very pleased at how it came out." And the birds are safer, too. Great idea, great job!
	This is Joy's Oriental Shorthair. Joy really enjoys dog and cat patterns! This one is a black and white classic.
	Vicki is soldering up a storm making all kinds of pieces to raise money for breast cancer research. She is working on the female jogger Female Runner. Clad in pink, and carrying her ribbon! Great use for Spectrum's baroque glass. Below, you can see the finished project. Nice glass for the hair! And further below still, a collection of beautiful breast cancer ribbons made by Bob and Flory of "Windows of the West" of Innisfail, in beautiful Alberta. Congratulations to all the good people pulling together to raise money for a worthy cause.

	Frank van de Vijver made an impressive outdoor sign to announce the passage of the stork on September 3, 2006, leaving behind a baby daughter! The stork is Frank's, and the lettering is from the Goofy Alphabet. Franks says it still is the eye-catcher of the neighbourhood, and reports that it even was news in the local paper!
	This is a modified version of the Ndebele pattern. The pictures were accompanied by this kind note: "I thought you might enjoy seeing my version of your Ndebele design. I made it for a friend who just gave birth to her second baby. I named it Mbari, which is Swahili for family. I simplified your design alot (apologies if you are cringing now). I also added a small string of beads in the center of the panel. The panel is about 9 X 12. Thanks for all of your great work!!!" Click on the image for a more detailed look.

	The Wilkins of Innisfail, Alberta, created the Baby Elephant #1 and the Baby Elephant #2 in order to raise funds for the Calgary Zoo. The panels fetched $400 for the zoo's benefit. All in all, $150,000. A big round of applause! Great fracture streamer glass, too...
	September is not too early to being work on your Christmas crafts. Dave just completed the Guardian Angel and he did a super cute job with the faces. If you click on the picture, you can see an enlargement of the
	Lucy the Bearded Collie is a very special dog from Germany!. Anne hasn't been crafting in stained glass for a year yet, and look at these impeccable solder lines... I am jealous!
	Rebecca Johnson decorated her Dream Catcher with real feathers. The marbling effect in super. Secret is, it's not glass, but batik cotton!
	Thank you Dave for this Music Staff box cover, adapted into a window panel! The primary colors work very well with the subject.
	Corinne Desloges' outstanding color selection makes the Easy Butterfly look like a million bucks! This one is made with "Window Color" and cheers up the window of a pediatrician's office.
	Larry Bailey just began stained glass and claims to be addicted. Is that a familiar story? This is his version of the Large Mouth Bass. Judicious use of blood-red baroque glass.
	I love Betsy's Ballerina! Such rich pinks, and the textured background is just the ticket. Fabulous craftsmanship!
	Brenda from the Netherland carefully chose various shades of grey for her elephant. The rich sky blue and the subtler background colors are just perfect.
	Patricia made the Kwanzaa Kinara in subtle, sober, yet rich colors. Thank you for sending the picture.
	Irene uses the patterns to digitize embroidery. This is what she did with the Madonna and Child. How creative! I love the gold border.
	Dave asked for a Tap Dancer stained glass pattern to make this fabulous gift for his tap dancing teacher. You can tell it's been crafted with loving care!
	Kimberley Raddon made this Dolphin panel as a birthday gift for her neighbour's daughters. What beautiful blues!
	Mikaela is a computer graphic whiz that uses PhotoShop to create these awesomely realistic stained glass images from the patterns. This one is the Stormy Sea and wouldn't you just swear it's actual glass?
	Joy's Briard in rich, deep brown.
	Valerie Kraus' Dragonfly Fairy in glorious colors.
