STAINED GLASS MANDALA A mandala is a power symbol of a complex circular design intended to draw the eye toward the center. It is a meditation tool used to focus concentration. This stained glass mandala, in free hanging form, was produced for an art professor from Albuquerque, N.M. for that purpose.                                                          Click here to view mosaic mandalas at our catalog                                          NEED MORE INFO......CONTACT US........         beaumontleadedglass@yahoo.com     Looking for low cost stained glass instruction ?

SANDBLASTING :the technique by which any type of glass is obscured then eroded, resulting in an etching, engraving, or bas relief sculpture. The eroding is accomplished by forcing a stream of sand or other free flowing abrasive grit through a nozzle under air pressure at the item being decorated. Those areas not subjected to the blast remain intact, resulting in the etching of a predetermined design.

It is not necessarily returning the object to its state when new. Stained glass restoration may involve replacement of deteriorated elements such as the lead or zinc, repair of deteriorated elements such as the glass, redesign of structural elements to alleviate bowing or sagging,and waterproofing, also referred to as cementing. ( For more information on assessing values & restoration requirements in older windows, click here. )                  Often, when older stained glass windows are fortunate enough to be found structurally sound and free from breakage, they are still in need of waterproofing maintenance. This is more than the term implies. Waterproofing, also referred to as cementing, keeps the wind and rain from penetrating the window. It also gives the panels the rigidity required to stand vertically. The composition contents of the cement and the correct application of this have much to do with the longevity of the window. The cement must adhere to both the glass and the lead or channels in which it was constructed. This adhesion must withstand the elements of water, heat and cold. The cement must be able to remain somewhat flexible to allow the stained glass window to slightly move with wind pressure and allow for expansion and contraction. A professionally cemented stained glass window, exposed to the elements, should be able to perform as intended for 75 to 100 years before needing re-application. The photos below are two examples requiring the attention decribed above.
