Hey all! My name is Tyler. I want to share a little #introduction post. It's so nice to be here! My interests include #airQuality #buildings #community #construction #darkSkies #design #historicPreservation #history #placemaking #stainedGlass and more. Can you recommend accounts to follow? In any case I've heard good things about Mastodon and the fediverse so I'm looking forward to connecting with folks.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025 Day 21: a San Francisco garden view for the final day of my solstice art advent calendar.
Happy solstice! 🌞
I finished this stained glass window this summer. My design features flowers that grow all over San Francisco: California poppies, Douglas irises, and angel's trumpets.

I would like to ask the Mastodon hive- mind a question about #StainedGlass. The background story is that I went to a giant yard sale/antique sale in Frankfurt West #Germany in 1986 or so and bought these two pieces. They went in to storage, they took some damage but now I want to know more about them and possibly have at least one of them repaired. I was told that they were pulled from a small church that was being demolished years before and they'd been in a basement for a couple of generations before this person sold them to me.
So does anyone have any idea what I have here? How old are they and should I cannibalize one of them to make the other into a better piece? I'd love to build one of them into the wall of a sunny room in my house or stabilize it, frame it and backlight it as an art piece.
These are three pictures of the same piece, the other one is missing the M shape center piece (broken) but is otherwise in tact.
I look forward to your insights and any comments you choose to make and thank you for your time!
