Stained Glass "to die for"

This is Chief Wawonowin. Carolyn Rans of Tierra Verde, Florida, made this for her summer golf club in Ishpeming, Michigan. It is copper foil construction. The window is 4 feet wide and 2 1/2 feet tall. Her husband built a light box for it to live in and it now resides in the bar. The face of the chief and the logo of the club were scanned off of the club's letterhead into glass eye 2000 and the rest is freehand. The workmanship behind the sunburst built to suspend this quite heavy piece was designed by another member who also did all the cabinetry for the bar. Carolyn was thrilled that they placed her work "center stage".
