Grandfather Philip's Stained Glass

Kipling's Kim

This piece is a departure from my previous work. First it honors an author and second it's center is totally painted. For those of you that might wonder about the right angle inside cut that Rudyard's name settles in, it was done by hand with an ordinary glass cutter and grozing pliers. The size of the pane is 21 x 24 inches plus the red oak frame. The colors in the border represent the cool mountain lakes at the bottom melding into the greens of the hills then into the hot sun yellows of India. The protaganists are depicted in the center and the text on the right is part of the opening line of the book. The "litter" text just appealled. This panel was donated to the Ephrata Public Library.
