For Christmas 2015 we were commissioned to make this grain elevator.
Our clients father in law purchased this grain elevator located in East Central Alberta a number of years ago and painted it John Deere Green & Yellow colors.
They wanted a replica of the elevator in stained glass that they could actually put wheat in from the farm.
The roof on the top is removable to allow this, we added 2 small nails soldered into the removable roof to provide stability when handling to prevent the roof from slipping off.
We used Spectrum’s new clear Barnwood glass along with Spectrum’s green and yellow.
The elevator is approximately 12 inches high x 6 inches wide and 4 inches deep. It takes time and lots of patience to solder together but the end result is quite stunning.
We have clients who commission us each Christmas to come up with an unique suncatcher stained glass gift item for their grandchildren. This year we made these 12 butterflies using Youghiogheny Heads & Tails glass.

“So far we have sold 4 items at Gotcha Jeans in Olds and a larger piece to a lady from Red Deer who was visiting the Innisfail Library where WVANA has a great collective display of art from many involved with this year’s ArtWalk. The lady who bought our piece of stained glass which was on display at the library is coming tomorrow to pick it up.
“Gotcha Jeans also indicated today that they have given out many of our business cards to folks who are very interested in getting hold of us for commission work.”
