write on this page with a window on it.
So now I see the picture is just there, and I see sort of, how this part works.
Please have a look at our beautiful, wonderful window.
Made by (except for one high school boy) only women.Most with little prior experience in stained glass,one, my friend Marlene, came looking for a job.. and stayed on for almost two years to help us get this done.
We finished this window in early 1989.
It wouldn't have happened if not for my parents loaning me some money to buy the remains of a defunct stained glass studio, about ten years before that.
Our mom missed it... she left us in 1987.
Dad though, came down a few times to help with the soldering, and got to see it finished.. (didn't like it much) no Saints.
The church members had asked for water for Baptism.
I believe I was INSPIRED to choose the topographical map that for some reason,my neighbor in the building had asked me to save for him.
This became the basis for the window design, because of the proximity to Gull Lake, and the WATER.
Since building this window I have moved from Richland, MI where the studio was at the time, to the Park Trades Center, on Kalamazoo and Park Streets in Kalamazoo, MI.
