He told me that when I was little I would explain what the sculpture was to him. I remember loving it. The colored pieces of class were beautiful. The soldered metal held everything together perfectly. Today, I had him explain the sculpture to me, and now I've loaded it online for you. I am glad to pass on this piece of my family history.
I went to my Grandfather's house this evening. We live in a community that is very supportive of its artistic community. There is a music club downtown that has a B&B attached to it. He had worked on painting their lions, and he said that he would really like to have this faith sculpture hang on the porch as well. I told him that I thought it was a great idea! When we were growing up, my grandfather was very involved in making stained glass. He would often make glass windows for peoples houses. There are several in his house. He also made kaleidoscopes, and made a large one for the children's museum at our art museum. He made stained glass friendship crosses (my mother has several of them) and some glass sculptures. Tonight when he told me that he was going to move the faith sculpture to the music club and B&B, I told him that I wanted to take pictures of it. Well, I decided that it would be better if he described it to me. He told me that when I was little I would explain what the sculpture was to him. I remember loving it. The colored pieces of class were beautiful. The soldered metal held everything together perfectly. Today, I had him explain the sculpture to me, and now I've loaded it online for you. I am glad to pass on this piece of my family history.
