This one's really nice! And the color contrast stands out well . Love that red... kinda reminds me of a sea of bright red jello liquid before it hardens to... well, jello, . I might've read about the Triple Moon Goddess some while back, but not sure if it's the right one (since this book had various goddesses, haha)... Well, I'm hooked and I must fav, .

FAIL WHALE.

There are several cultures which have a Triple Moon Goddess, and she's found quite widely in modern neopaganism and Wicca, as well. You'll find I regularly use the symbols of these belief systems in my work, as well as those of the classical myth cycles of many cultures; among other reasons, I've long been very passionate about folklore and mythology, since I first read my way through the folk and fairy tale section of my school library, at age 6. They have a great deal of personal meaning to me, as well.

I'm glad you liked the thickly churning liquid feel to the background on this piece; that's one of my favorite elements about it, too.

There are a few more pieces in this series, but I'm probably just going to put up my top 5 favorites, at least for now, so you can expect to see at least a couple more of these before I move on to putting up some of my other work.

These would look especially nice backlit with warm light and surrounded by dark oak. I can see these implanted into a nice older home somewhere where they've "always been."

That's a wonderful idea! I've had these sitting around for a few years now, and have been gaining in skill since they were made, so I've been thinking about revisiting them, and adding the kind of lighting glow you describe.

I absolutely *love* the idea of adding a border of old oak, or other setting such that they look like an original part of an old "Arts and Crafts" house!!! They'd be very slightly anachronistic, because of the semi-cloisonne touch that I tend to give them, with the gold "leading" on the stained glass, but the setting would still add a LOT to the image. That is such a wonderful concept, it gives me a batch of ideas of where to take this collection from here.

That's cool how these folk and fairy tale symbols and cultures inspire your work.. they're really nice... I need to read more on them myself . They sound really interesting to read up on, . I've only read small bits and heard little from my older brother and sister as a kid, who would draw fairies and elves, as well as have a few books on fairies and witches, .

Haha, yeah--the churning liquid just looks great... keep thinking of either ocean waves of red jello or cranberry juice, .. it's a nice effect

Cool, I'd like to see more of this series--they're interesting, and I think I want to look up more about those symbols

FAIL WHALE.

Well, as I commented to another artist here recently (Kyndelfire, I think it was), there's more to it than just having a knowledge of the lore to draw upon; symbols have to have personal meaning to a person, or it doesn't make sense for that person to use them. Where there's no connection, there's no power of emotion behind the image.

So there's that aspect, here, too... but I am fortunate in that there is a great deal of art and symbolism from cultures throughout the world that really speaks to me, and represents concepts that are important to me, so I am able to draw on a pretty wide selection.

However, I also have to say that I think it's important to have respect for the belief systems that one draws upon, and not use their imagery in ways that would be offensive to the people to whose lives those images and symbols are central. So, I try to use these images in ways and contexts that are appropriate to the culture from which I draw the imagery, even in those cases where they are not as central to my own life.

The triple moon goddess image is one that really speaks to me, though, which is why this was the first series of stained glass pieces I did.

This is my favourite piece of yours. You can't tell that it's even digitally made. I love the symbolism too. I so want a window like that.

I'm glad you like it so much! Honestly, though, I can't tell you that it's anything *but* digitally made. I'm glad that you find it so realistic!

The symbolism is one of my favourite parts about this series, and I know I'll be making more; I'm really glad that it reaches other people, as it does me. I really would like to hook up with a stained glass artist, someday, and make some tangible versions of my designs... or, maybe I'll market some of the nicer ones as stained glass design patterns, for the artists who work in that medium.

I love all the encouragement y'all give me, for my creations! Thanks!

That would be really awesome. I'd love to decorate my (future) house with them in the windows.

And, hey, you deserve every bit of praise and encouragement. You're art is so amazing. You have your own style that makes every piece perfect.
