Product Description

Create Beautiful Beveled Panels for Your Doors and Windows
Each hand -crafted beveled piece is cut and polished to create a fine quality cluster. Light is reflected and refracted by the bevel angle of the glass, creating a stunning prismatic effect in certain lighting conditions, and adding depth and elegance to any design.

Clear bevel cluster measures 14" diameter when assembled. 13 pieces.

Delphi Tip: Always lay out bevel clusters on pattern before cutting glass to adjust for small differences.

Step-by-Step: Beyond Basic Bevel Design
1. Define your project borders and center lines on graph paper. Arrange bevel pieces.
2. For additional options try repositioning bevels. Add space in between to incorporate cut stained glass or additional bevels. You can even remove pieces to alter the design.
3. Once you find a pleasing design to fit your space carefully trace bevels, then add pattern lines for glass to complete the design.

First project created by artist John Shiflett. Second project created by artist Gwen Bonnie. Both from Delphi's Online Artist Gallery.

Pros : This cluster ended up in a panel I made. The center gemstone is a bonus; it is huge and a very nice bonus. I have since purchased a second one. Very reasonable priced, beautiful cluster

When and how did you get started in stained glass? Ive been interested in stained glass for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would sit in churches and watch the (often) biblical depictions come to life when a stray ray of sunlight cast its illumination our way. Sun shadows dancing. I dabbled in many media over the years, trying to find an outlet for some of the visions careening inside, but none of them took. Drawing, painting - even watercolours - no amount of professional training could guide my hand in a satisfactory way. But then there was the glass. I lived abroad for a few years, and wound my way through Europe on my way back to the States when I finished my Peace Corps Service. My last international destination was Paris, where one of my closest friends lives as an organist. Two beautiful autumn

Chances are, right now, in reading this blog post, youre avoiding an overdue task. I too was avoiding a laundry list of work-related tasks in writing this. Procrastination is a part of life, and its certainly always been a part of mine. As a teenager, my parents would accuse me of putting off everything from piano practice to math homework. Id vehemently deny their charges hissing back, I work better under pressure. The truth was, I often felt overwhelmed, under-productive and anxious. Over the years, Ive been able to combat my avoidance issues using 4 tools. The trick is constantly reminding myself of these actions, because they do not come naturally to me. 1. Just Say No. I say yes to everything. Need someone to head up that event? Sure. Want me to design 12 posters for the Car Wash? No problem. Take your kid to daycare? Of course.
