The Dragon’s Way

In honor of the Fire Breathing Dragon piece I just finished in stained glass … I thought I would share with you also this dragon poem I wrote a few years ago.

Here’s the finished panel and the poem below

The Way of the Dragon

It is the dragon’s way
Be silent and listen to what he has to say

In the darkness of the night
He enters into your dreams and takes you on a mystical flight

His passions burn inside, full of desire
He is filled with mystical kind of power
His only release is within his fire

He soars through the night in a blaze
His memory, it will stay with you for days

There, that look in his eyes
You can see his soul and oh how it cries

A giant in the sky he may be
But when it comes to love, he’s as gentle as can be

Swiftly he flies down from above
Bringing you the gift of his dragon love

He says from his heart, dear lady have my heart to hold
It will keep you warm when the days grow cold

Filled with the wisdom of ancient ages
Nothing will stop him, not even cold bar cages.

He speaks with a gentle command
Come now and listen as I sing
I’ll comfort you and keep you safe within my wings

I’ll fight off all your worries and all your fears
I’ll be your protector throughout the years

I am your dragon and this is my dragon way
To watch over and protect you every night and every day.

Many Blessings,
Waya

Stained Glass Kaleidoscope

Recently bought a kaleidoscope kit to learn how to make them. I think they are both fun and beautiful!

So Labor Day weekend I set off to create my very first kaleidoscope… it could do with some improvements. Through the week I searched for the parts to make another to see if I could make it a bit better than my first … whew.. I think I have this down now!

Here’s my first kaleidoscope…. it looks solid and for the most part it is.. my color wheel on the front is just a bit wobbly .. which I can fix… just haven’t yet 🙂

The color wheels on this first one are the simpler 6 piece wheels…

Here is my second one … I doesn’t have any feet on it yet .. I may end up making a wood stand for it instead. The color wheels on this one are 12 piece wheels… so that’s 24 tiny little pieces of glass! Nothing wobbles on this one! Plus I added a bit of extra detail on the top of this one!

Here are some pics of what they look like on the inside 🙂

The first 3 photos are the effects using the 6 piece color wheels:

Stained Glass Guitars

My special project! 🙂

I thought how cool it would be to make life sized stained glass guitars and add real guitar parts to them.. and … well.. so I began designing, cutting, grinding and assembling a few guitars.

Below are some photos of guitars still in progress as well as a few finished products.

As I mentioned before these are all life sized with real guitar parts added to give them that extra cool factor!

I have an acoustic guitar in progress at the moment … photos to follow soon as well as a couple of custom designs of my own and an american flag electric model.

These guitars are for display only .. sorry folks but these can’t be played .. just looked at and admired 🙂

Many Blessings,

Stained Glass Guitar Project

My newest additction in stained glass… I’m working on a series of life sized guitars made of stained glass …

At the moment I have them all pieced together and it’s now time to start adding the real guitar parts to them .. I’ll be adding the bridge, stop, knobs and machine heads from real guitars and then also adding strings but not real guitar strings

I’m choosing not to use real guitar strings because of effect really .. the smaller strings would never be seen if I used real ones .. so choosing a wire that is a middle of the line guage between the thickest string and the smallest…. hopefully that will turn out ok.. we will soon see.

Have a look at some of the guitars so far….
