Stained Glass Project I can not part with

Written By Kim Joy

Back in 1982 while taking a stained glass class in Alamogordo New Mexico, where I lived for 6 years, my third project was this stained glass mirror. I gave it to my Mom for Christmas that year. It was nothing spectacular but my Mom hung in in her bedroom until she died. It means so much to me that she kept it close to her.

After my Mom died and my sister Jane and I cleaned out her apartment, I brought it home with me. I have it hanging in my bedroom to be close to my Mom and to remember the beginning of my stained glass career.

Do you have a project you can not part with?
