Angel Window

Angel Stained Glass Window by Marion Grisa

Today I wanted to share my favorite Angel stained glass window.  This blue angel window measures about 16 inches by 24 inches and was created in the early 1980's by my husband's mother, Marion Grisa.   

Glass Detail

Marion Grisa (1925 - 1986), was a artist in many mediums, including fiber, stained glass, painting and sculpture.  I don't actually know how many stained glass windows she made, but she made at least nine stained glass windows for Heritage Presbyterian Church in Muskego, Wisconsin, as well as at least two other smaller windows.  The two small windows she gave as gifts, one to her mother and one to her cousin.  These small windows have traveled on as family heirlooms, one to my husband, Carl Grisa.
 

This Christmas I hung the angel window in my living room window for the Christmas season.  After the holidays are over, I think I will move the Angel window to somewhere more permanent, probably in the dining room.  I'm pretty sure I've decided that this little angel should shine on for more then just the holidays.

(How is this a Metamorphis Monday post?  This window was taken out of storage and hasn't hung in the house for years.  I was worried the children might break it.  I think that counts...)
