Chanukah ! — The Festival of Lights !

The Festival of Lights.

What better way to celebrate than to have the light filter through the beveled glass of a Menorah –

superimposed on a Rainbow?

Jewish Gay Pride Stained Glass

Take a Magain David – surround it with a rainbow

and you have a new symbol of the LGBT Movement.

“Eish” Mazal Tov – Ariel and Stephanie

For those who don’t understand: The glass in my cover photo is a wedding present for a recently married couple.
I took the first letters of their Hebrew names – and they form the word “Eish” = Fire.
I wanted to show the warmth of their relationship by working with yellows, reds and oranges to represent the Fire of their Love.
Wishing only the best for Ari and Stephanie!

I love the way the light plays with the glass in this piece.

The contrast between daylight and night is absolutely striking!

May the warmth of family and friends bring light to you and yours this Thanksgiving / Chanukah.

When I was first sent this design I thought – this is strange.

While working on it I thought – this is fantastic !

When I saw it completed I thought – This Is Exquisite ! !
