Purple Thistle

This handmade stained glass panel features a striking purple thistle as its central motif, rendered in rich violet and lavender glass that catches the light with subtle variations in tone. The flower head is detailed with carefully cut pieces that give depth and texture, while fat green leaves and stems provide a natural contrast and sense of movement. Lead lines are thoughtfully placed to emphasize the thistle’s spiky character without overwhelming its elegance. Measuring 10.5 by 11 inches, the panel is well suited for a window, door, or wall display, where sunlight can illuminate the glass and bring out the thistle’s bold color and handcrafted charm.
