I was pleasantly surprised with how well this piece came out, given that symmetry isn’t typically my strongest suit. One thing that’s not readily apparent in the picture is the reflectivity of the Gelly Roll Stardust ink, which flickers like glitter as the viewer moves from one perspective to another. The subject matter was inspired by the aptly named Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, which happened to be on TV recently. (Note that this isn’t the carpenter’s cup. Heh.)

This is one of my older pieces, but it’s still one of my favorites. I’m very pleased with how the color balance came out, and the dark blue curves from the Glaze pen really set off the shapes made with Metallic and Stardust beautifully. It was a lot of work, but well worth the effort.

Stained Glass Menagerie. Micron, Gelly Roll Glaze, and Gelly Roll Metallic pens on Strathmore Series 300 Artist Tiles. 8″ x 8″ framed. $320

This piece is a personal favorite, and was a surprising amount of work. It was inspired by the unique look that the Glaze pens give to paper – The ink sits on top of the page, giving it a glossy, glass-like appearance. This makes the resemblance to stained glass really striking in person.
