Two glass artists offer a variety of art pieces: Sandy Zilz and Leon Lange. Their use of the same media produces differing objects. Zilz created a pair of horses that has universal appeal. The photograph was taken from the back of the wood frame, allowing sunlight to pass through scores of colored pieces. “Horse Friends” is priced at $324. Two whimsical rain gauges on copper poles are $40 each, featuring a Lady Bug, Hummingbird, and butterfly at 37″ (left), a seasonal heart, shamrock, and bees at 36″. The heart candle holder is $15.
Leon Lange, of Sandy Ridge Art, designs watercolors and multicolored, luminescent, art glass panels. They are pieced with textured glass, metal, and mirror pieces. Five geometric designs are on display. Magic Glass Mosaic (top) and Lime Rickey are each 5 X 15 inches and priced at $95.
