I will look to add a second item tomorrow as I have finished soldering together a new Iron Man Helmet.

Make sure to take a look if you have any interest.   Also, if there is something specific you would be interest in being made from stained glass, drop me a note and I will see what I can do (time and cost permitting).

Thanks,

Mike ]]> http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Happy-New-Year-Everyone-349039138 http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Happy-New-Year-Everyone-349039138 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:16:24 PST Happy New Year Everyone!! nonadult journals/personal mclanesmemories http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/default.gif Copyright 2013 ~mclanesmemories
I want to thank those that have commissioned stained glass pieces.  It has been a lot of fun and hope everyone is enjoying there bit of handmade "geek" stained glass.

I have caught up on the requests and have had a bit of time to make some items for myself and to possibly sell.  The Halo Master Sergeant Helmet has been suggested a number of times so I have finally made one.   Definitely a different shape and a lot of fun to figure out and assemble.

I am working up a new Iron Man helmet which I will likely make available for sale.  It is interesting to see the evolution in this design ]]> http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Ok-I-am-open-to-take-Commissions-on-Stained-Glass-313880571 http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Ok-I-am-open-to-take-Commissions-on-Stained-Glass-313880571 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 15:27:00 PDT Ok, I am open to take Commissions on Stained Glass nonadult journals/personal mclanesmemories http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/default.gif Copyright 2012-2013 ~mclanesmemories
That being said, I have decided I am open to accepting commissions for creating additional copies of the stained glass lamps I have designed.  Each lamp takes 40-60+ hours to mark, cut, place and solder each of the 100s of pieces of glass, but in the end is a beaut ]]> http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Devious-Journal-Entry-308806150 http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Devious-Journal-Entry-308806150 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 17:16:26 PDT Devious Journal Entry nonadult journals/personal mclanesmemories http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/default.gif Copyright 2012-2013 ~mclanesmemories
I am working with a new website online to display my artwork as well as provide some free patterns for people interested in stained glass.  I hope to be able to do a little bit to keep the Master-craft alive in this electronic age.

Check the website out if you have a change at stainedglasssuppliesonline.com http://stainedglasssuppliesonline.com and tell me what you think.  Yes, the site is a new endeavor but will slowly grow over time so check back often ]]> http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Amazed-at-the-recent-interest-299740329 http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Amazed-at-the-recent-interest-299740329 Wed, 02 May 2012 19:04:40 PDT Amazed at the recent interest! nonadult journals/personal mclanesmemories http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/default.gif Copyright 2012-2013 ~mclanesmemories
At this point I am still not in the position to take commissions, though I may (in the future) produce additional lamps which I will make available for sale.  Due to limited time to play with glass, I just am not comfortable committing to a specific timetable.

That being said, I do have a couple things for people to watch out for.  I have been working on another ]]> http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Hello-again-261906104 http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Hello-again-261906104 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:31:48 PDT Hello again.... nonadult journals/personal mclanesmemories http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/default.gif Copyright 2011-2013 ~mclanesmemories
As you can see, I have changed my tastes in artwork and have gone down the stained glass path.  I have to say that I am having a blast and enjoying building things in 3d from the ground up.   I have so many ideas as to projects I want to do, but I am limiting myself to one at a time till I get each done.... not sure how long that will last.

I have been giving some thought to possibly taking commisions for pieces, but at this time I have not started.  I don't know what the market would be ]]> http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Update-if-anyone-is-paying-attention-234955548 http://mclanesmemories.deviantart.com/journal/Update-if-anyone-is-paying-attention-234955548 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 06:41:37 PST Update if anyone is paying attention... nonadult journals/personal mclanesmemories http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/default.gif Copyright 2008-2013 ~mclanesmemories
I hope everyone is having a good holiday season.  Hopefully the new year will improve everyone's situation and provide a brighter future.

I also had the opportunity to go to a book signing by Michael Scott on Wednesday Evening.  It was the first book signing I have ever been to and must say that I greatly enjoyed the experience.  The author spend quite some time taking with the audience and even read a small excerpt from the book.

A little about me - I started drawing a little over 2 years ago (yes, late in life so to speak).  I have always doodled but nothing serious.  I finally decided to give B/W pencil portrait drawing a try and found that I didn't do too bad.

I kept drawing and got better with each picture, enough so that I was comfortable showing off my work to friends and family.  I even received a couple commissions from people at my work which helped m ]]>
