 Immediate in its lucent, chromatic beauty and unexpected design, the photo here only shows a portion of "Outer Orbit", which is just one illuminated piece in a series of glass panels, entitled “Side Lite” by Bryan Northup. Bryan describes his work as “organic yet contemporary”, and we were intrigued to learn that his transparent palette sometimes includes mouth blown antique sheet glass. Bryan explained to us part of the process employed for "Outer Orbit": “…building on these very special hand picked pieces, I added such elements as a dichroic backed round faceted jewel and a deep red mouth-blown roundel. To emulate the boundless expanse of space I left the rolled edges at each end piece of glass and used copper wire to secure the frame. The finished piece is appropriately very dark and mysterious and really only comes alive in direct sun, the final planetary component in this stained glass panel.”To learn more about Bryan Northup’s work, visit Biolum Glass and Etsy.

This piece is gorgeous! I just love the colors. Please, show us more:) Leave a Reply |   Al and Caroline The art of light inspires, and its play with color captivates. Light's transforming quality fascinates, especially when it is captured by gemstones and antique stained glass that glow from within...
... When not in the studio or taking turns answering your questions, we like to blog. Thanks for stopping by! Al is skilled in the arts of goldsmithing, diamond setting and jewelry designing, and all of the jewelry here, except for mixed media, is Al's - - all meticulously done by Al, no outside assistance. Although there are a few collaborative designs with his wife Caroline, and there are her occasional oohs and ahs and what-if questions. Well, maybe a little more often than that! Most of the photography is done by Caroline, and she designs and handmakes mixed media art jewelry.
