She got "us" this for my birthday 10 years ago:

Yes, she had it custom made for "us".

That seriously rocks. Do you ever hang it in a window ?

Wow, that's a great gift. Unique and memorable. Do you remember what you gave her for her birthday 10 years ago?

Yes.

When we got it we had a big bay window, and it was hung there. Ever since we left Charleston we haven't had a window big enough for it, so it always gets displayed somewhere in the house, like you see in the pic.

Awesome an uncle and aunt of mine made artwork very like that without fantasy themes (unfortunately) but they had my Dad and later myself do artwork for them to use in the glass... some of my art hangs in churches. But that I would like for my home.

That must look absolutely brilliant with the light streaming through it.

You are a very lucky man.

I love stained glass! We have pieces adorning windows on 3 of the 4 sides of our house.

I had a friend who had a stained-glass mountainscape that was at least 3' x 6', but, like you, they didn't have a window to hang it over.

What they did have, though, was a sunken den, and they used large chains attached to the heavy wooden frame to hang the piece behind the sofa that backed to the kitchen/breakfast nook. If you entered from the kitchen/nook (which was the shortest path), the mountainscape was illuminated by the lights in their ceiling fan fixture. And from the pit looking out, it was backlit by either the sun or the light coming from the kitchen area.

Of course, they didn't have any kids or pets who would be launching projectiles in its direction, though.
