Stained glass appears several times in Boundaries–in the loft in David’s house; when Chandi teaches Kaia the art of stained-glass work; in an inn in Half Moon Bay; and in Kaia’s cottage in Marin County. By the end of the story, I think stained glass has become an emblem for beauty and harmony, important elements in Kaia’s life.
I learned to make stained-glass windows and lamps several years ago, and the process of cutting, foiling, and soldering is described in the novel. Photos of windows I created are below, along with a photo of a beautiful modern stained-glass window I saw in the Heiliggeistkirche in Heidelberg (one of many masterful windows in that cathedral).
