2 Stained Glass Painted Votive Globes

This is a matching set of 2 stained glass painted globes. They are done in an abstract, but VERY colorful and organic style. I would consider this style to be called "cold" glass. I wanted these pieces to be beautiful on their own, alone without candles, but also beautiful with a lit candle inside them, and the play of light from the flame illuminating the colors.

They would also look stunning just sitting on a windowsill without a candle and with the sun's rays shining through all the colors. As you can see from the photos here, they cast gorgeous colorful shadows, when the sunlight shines through them!

They each measure approx. 5x.5" and the opening at the top is approx. 4" across.

I show several photos here from differing angles, since they look quite different depending on which angle you view them from.

The colors have a beautiful translucency or iridescence to them. I achieve this look by mixing 2 or more colors in each section. Some of the colors I used are: Amethyst, bright blue, slate blue, orange poppy, ruby red, lime green, and white. I use a toothpick to spread and blend the colors together, making sure that they go all the way to the edges of the black outlines.

These are functional pieces of art and can be used as vases to display flowers, or as candle votives, or even to just store dry items in on a coffee table or alone as stunning centerpieces.
