My sister is determined to find a stained glass wall piece for our Mom. Mom loves stained glass! We've been looking for something 'right' for years. Sis has been looking in antique stores etc., found lots of cool old church windows. They are mostly huge (as is the price tag). I am just wondering if any of you know any good places to look or have friends who do this? We don't want to replace a window or anything, just hang on the wall, so not too big. Religious would be fine.
You people all seem to be in tune/touch with other artists, so I figured that you could give me better advice than any web search.
When I get time, I will take another look at all your websites; when I passed those on to my local friends before, I was not looking for stained glass.
I will post this same message in the General and Buy, Sell, Swap forums, also.
Thanks!
Karen

Dee, Thanks! I knew asking here would yield results. I did do several web searches prior to asking, but never came up with etsy.com. Never heard of it, actually. Also came up with .... 95 pages of stained glass stuff. Cool! Refined search several times, but the ones you picked out above really do stand out. So etsy is a nicer, more down to earth form of ebay? Works for me! Thanks again for the info! Karen

Etsy is all handmade, and not auctions. And it has really cool features to search with, including color, newly listed, by catagories and so on! As a seller, they don't try every angle to gouge you, and the boys that are the admin. are very, very responsive in the forums and to emails with any problems you might have (compared to other places, like ebay!)
I did most of my Christmas shopping there! Thank goodness, it saved me from the mall, and I got fun stuff like duct tape wallets for my nephews, jewelry and sushi candles for the girls. :-)
