Using the Procol Harum lyrics as inspiration, I chose the colors (red-orange, black, and 24K gold seemed Spanish to me) and the colors of the sea (pale turquoise and mottled blue) and the sand (grout). I then gathered a few pieces of costume jewelry, a silver saddle and a silver disc to represent his stallion and his shield, and a strange brass piece that might have once been a belt buckle and looks like a conquistador's axe, a white sea shell that represents an angel's wing, a round turquoise tile and a sea turtle for the sea. I covered the hole with a piece of stained glass and then trimmed that with first a piece of black leather bolo tie and surrounding that, a bit of gold necklace. I scattered a few glass globs (flattened marbles) because I like the way they look but I use them sparingly. The guitar is outlined with 24K gold plate rim. I cut out the stained glass flames with a Toyo oil hand cutter. I score the glass free-hand and use a Fletcher tool (looks like pliers) (both from stained glass shops) to put pressure on the scored line, and voila the glass pops apart right where I scored it (well, almost always). I nipped the other pieces of stained glass with Lepponit wheeler nippers and ground all the edges smooth with a carborundum stone. I used MAC glue. The tuners (turquoise glass beads), the strings (dichroic stringers), and the grout (sanded, Mapei Keracolor, pale brown for the body and black for the neck). This guitar is for sale on Etsy.

This is a handmade one of a kind glass mosaic guitar. I hand cut (and often grind) each individual piece of glass before I meticulously place it. I use mostly art glass, the same kind that's used in stained glass. This guitar is also embellished with mirror, beads, and fused dicroic glass pieces. It measures 37" from top to bottom and the body measures 18" in length and 14" at the widest point. The shipping price is an estimate and I will gladly refund any overages. Thank you for looking!

A different kind of fender. I did this on a fender electric guitar. It is done in stained glass with polished semi precious gemstones for control knobs. It is done in lime green, oranges, yellow, blues and black and gray accents. I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I enjoyed doing it. Thanks for looking!

Purple and green mosaic guitar wall art. Neck has eyeball bead inlays that spin. Sides have image inlays: spider web, spider, bats. This piece took me two months to make and is by far of of my two favorites. The purple glass is etched with a vine design and the green glass is two tone with a stroke texture. This piece is very heavy and cannot be played, for display only. Dimensions 31" x 11" x 3.25"
I glued the tg on to the guitar with glitter glue, would you believe. But it looks all sparkly in person. I ended up grouting in charcoal.
I used recycled glass tiles on the side.
