In Box Series by Susan Lenz

In Box Series....and Stained Glass

2010-10-17T13:44:00.003-04:00

This blog was originally supposed to document all my "In Box" series pieces. I can't keep up with this idea....especially since the series spawned a related series, my "Faux Stained Glass" pieces. I now have representation at the prestigious GROVEWOOD GALLERY on the grounds of the historic Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC. They actively sell these works.

This blog is now a "tool"..... a place to which I can refer interested clients and fiber artists wanting a step-by-step tutorial for making these unique pieces. I've posted some of the work currently available at the Grovewood.

The "How to Make an In Box" tutorial is HERE.

Most of the older posts have now been deleted. If anyone reading this has a question, just leave a comment or email me privately at either mouse_house@prodigy.net or susan@susanlenz.com!
