stained glass poker table lampshade

In the fall of 2019, I was commissioned to make a custom stained glass poker table lampshade. Above is the drawing I made for the client. Below, I am showing two sets of photos for each of the long sides of the lampshade. I do this to fully show the detail in this custom lampshade, which can be seen with the human eye but not so well with a camera.

First is the King of Clubs and Jack of Diamonds. The face on the King of Clubs has been changed from its usual profile to the corncob smoking hillbilly that is one of the logos of Appalachian Stated University, which is the client's alma mater.

Above is a photo of the lampshade after it was hung over a professional poker table (although these clients have ignored my consultation and hung the lampshade from a single bracket on the ceiling when it should have been hung from two brackets resulting in the two chains being straight up and down). Below is the same lampshade prior to shipping. You can see how I make overlays out of zinc and lead and solder that become the eyes and other facial features. Overlays that touch no other metal parts cannot be soldered in place, and so they are affixed with bits of very strong foam tape that is sticky on both sides.

Next is the Ace of Spades and the Queen of Hearts.
Once again, changes were made to personalize this lampshade for the client. On this side, the Ace of Spades was changed to the Appalachian State "A" with the word "Mountaineers" in it, which is also one of the university logos.

Below are photos of the bear and the fox added to the ends of this artwork.
They, too, are examples of personalizing a stained glass artwork to suit each client.
