How does your garden grow? Oh it's so cold out it's not growing at all! But take heart, these VERY limited edition stained glass vegetables can sparkle in your windows all year round. Each one is 6 x 8 inches and is made of approximately 40 individual pieces. Framed very simply in lead came with attached hooks. Beet, Carrot, Garlic, Scallions, Radish, and Sweet Peas are all based on turn of the century botanical drawings. $60 each. Stained glass is notoriously hard to photograph but each piece is alive with texture and color.  These were a run of one each but if you're interested in one for yourself or you are only into say asparagus or squash, contact me and we can work on that.     

Garlic

Garlic - used as a cure-all for centuries. Garlic plays a part in one of Korea’s creation myths. A tiger and a bear prayed to Hwanung (the Supreme Divine Regent who taught his people about the arts, agriculture, & medicine) that they may become human. Upon hearing their prayers, Hwanung gave them 20 cloves of garlic and a bundle of mugwort, ordering them to eat only this sacred food and remain out of the sunlight for 100 days. The tiger gave up after about twenty days and left the cave. However, the bear remained and was transformed into a woman.  In time the woman became Hwanung’s wife & gave birth to a son called Dangun - meaning: "Altar Prince" & sandalwood. 

“Garlic”  is made of 41 lovingly hand crafted individual pieces and measures approximately 10 x 12 inches unframed.  A range of glass was used including opaque, striated, and transparent.
