Citrine, known as the “Success Stone,” is believed to aid in attracting success and prosperity. The color green is considered to represent prosperity and abundance.
A winning combination, I’d say. Stay tuned! I’ll let you know.

The interplay of light and glass can be quite fun and fascinating, and lighting designers, photographers and stained glass artisans can all take advantage of the unique relationship between light and glass if we just “reflect” on it a bit.
This chandelier makes a good example. Just looking at it straight on, you already notice how the reflections and shadows cast a pleasing starburst pattern on the ceiling.
Looking up from beneath the chandelier, the lights are reflected off each pane of glass, as well as the shiny brass portions of the fixture.
Here’s even more fun: The chandelier with its lights reflecting off the glass panes, all being reflected off the clear glass table that sits beneath the chandelier.
And lastly, the same chandelier as reflected off a sheet of iridized stained glass that’s sitting on the clear glass table beneath the chandelier.
The takeaway here is that the more we reflect on glass, the sooner we will come to see the light. Or something like that.

I was speaking with “T” the other day about the importance of making our surroundings pleasing to our senses. T is familiar with my stained glass work and she commented on how wonderful it would be if I hung my glass art in every window of my house.
“It would be like living inside a kaleidoscope!” she told me.
What a vivid image! A home where every room dances with color and light! I might not go for it if I lived in a setting where Nature’s own designs graced my view from each window.
But as I sit in my living room gazing out my picture window at the Walgreens Pharmacy across the street, I’m thinking this just might be the perfect spot for a kaleidoscope. Or at least a stained glass panel.
