PEACOCK ESCUTCHEON [escutcheon (e-skuch'-en), n. A shield or shieldlike surface on which a coat of arms is depicted.] This handsome Peacock proudly displays 54 "eyes" on his 28-inch wide fan. He was created from 716 pieces of green, yellow, and blue iridized glass. A truly distinctive wall hanging in any location! |

A short-legged wading bird of Central and South America, the Sunbittern has a dazzling wing pattern. Created from 613 pieces of stained glass, it has a 29" wingspan, is 17" long, and stands on a natural oak-tree base. Adds exciting color wherever it stands! |

Inspired by Jay Gubitz's visit to the west coast of Florida, this graceful long-legged sculpture, with delicate tail feathers, stands 21 inches tall atop a redwood burl base.

A magnificent 56" swept-back wingspan, red glass eyes, open beak, and metal talons give this Screaming Eagle an imposing appearance. It is made of 814 pieces of textured black glass, with the wings having five layers of "feathers." It is another award-winner in Glastar's competition, 3-D category. Hang it from a high ceiling and imagine it swooping down for the kill! |

This beautiful game bird, poised to rise from his hiding place, is made of
420 pieces of glass. He is 25 inches from his beak to the end of his
long tail, with a 35" wingspan. He stands on a natural wood pedestal

This beautiful scarlet-red wading bird has been captured by Jay Gubitz with 550 pieces of scarlet glass. It has a 32" wingspan and is 17 inches from beak to tail. It stands on a redwood burl base. Just picture it on a pedestal or table in an enclosed patio, or alongside your indoor pool! Kit available soon. |
|
This little gem is only eleven inches long, but contains 214 pieces of glass. That means that many of the pieces are extremely small and must be carefully ground and precisely fit. Picture it sitting on a cocktail table in your favorite gathering room!

Stained-glass sculpture can't be duplicated - in the sense that paintings and photographs can be reprinted, or other types of sculptures can be re-cast - it must be re-created from the original carved forms and template drawings. The Golden Quail is a re-creation of the Gambel's Quail (previous picture). |
|
This amazingly lifelike, and life-sized, 3-dimensional sculpture is made from more than 1,200 pieces of black and white iridized glass, and weighs only 14 pounds because it is hollow inside (as are all the other sculptures presented here). |

Designed to be either proudly hung on a wall like a trophy head or be regally displayed on a tall pedestal, Zebra is a unique work of art. When it is sitting, it measures 21" high, 26" deep, and 17" wide. It would be stunning in a living room or family room - or in an office lobby or reception room! |
 |
 |
Made of 223 pieces of almost-clear, textured, iridized glass, the Rainbow Trout is 19 inches long. Looking like it's just leaping from the water, it stands on its three bottom fins. It's perfect for the small space that just needs "something."
Kit available

The 19"-long Purple Trout is a re-creation of the Rainbow Trout, in different colors! It is made of 223 pieces of purple iridized glass. It rests on any flat surface on its fins. Put it on a countertop, or on the fireplace mantelpiece! |
 |
  |
This "striking" sculpture stands 16 inches high, but the King Cobra would be five feet long if it could be uncoiled. It has slit eyes and a split tongue! King Cobra is made of 568 pieces of glass and weighs six pounds. Stand it on the corner table in the living room or reception area, and put river rocks around it. What a conversation piece! |
|
This fierce, majestic symbol of America has a wingspan of 35 inches. Made of multi-toned black iridized glass, it sits on a wooden pedestal covered with granite-like black glass. Imposing wherever he's displayed! |
 |
 |
This wide-eyed Snowy Owl looks for prey from atop a natural oak pedestal and base. He has a 32" wingspan. Try sitting it on top of a bookcase or other tall piece of furniture. |
|
The Golden Eagle is a re-creation of the Bald Eagle, utilizing different glass colors. He watches carefully from a smooth red pedestal and base. Would look great in any room in the house. He has a 35" wingspan. |
|
 |
A colorful little bird, it is only 11 inches long from its long tail-tip to its long beak-tip, but contains 104 small pieces of glass. A perfect example of meticulous stained-glass craftsmanship. |
|
This 19-inch-long iridized-glass Gecko creeps between real seashells on a
14-inch tall stained-glass vase. Looks great on a table or pedestal -
or even on the floor - filled with dried flowers
or leaves. |

We hope you have enjoyed the stained glass presentation
you have just visited.
It is quite a bit removed from traditional flat stained-glass art
like windows and panels.
It has raised stained glass art to a new level!
And nobody else in the world
does sculptures of animals
and
spread-winged birds out of stained glass
like Jay Gubitz does!
Some of the sculptures will soon be available in Kit form,
so that you can create your own Masterpieces.
The
earth isn't flat.
Why should stained glass art be?
