Linda's art glass is inspired by
stained glass but is designed to be used as wall art. The
light, rather than coming through the glass as in a stained glass
window, is captured and reflected by the silver, copper or gold on
the back of the glass behind the transparent paint

2 Installation and Hanging Options:
Option 1 Ready to hang removable backsplash:
You can just hang the framed glass art piece
directly on your wall as a removable
backsplash. There is hanging wire attached to the back
of the frame. Make sure that the hook you put in your
wall is either in a stud or a expandable wall anchor. You can keep
the piece from sliding around by putting removable
adhesive putty on the back of the four corners.
Option 2 Permanent Installation of entire framed artwork. You can
glue the frame and backing board to the wall using a
Omni Grip White tile adhesive (available at Home Depot) or two part epoxy.
The advantage of doing it this way rather than
gluing the glass itself directly to the wall, is you may
be able to remove it later without destroying the
artwork, The frame would likely get damaged it when you
pry it off, but the art itself could be salvaged if you
are careful. You can remove the hanging hardware by loosening the 2 screws of the strap hangars (that contain the wire) and the strap hangars will just slide out.
Installation
Tip: If you tile up to the bottom where you want
the piece glued, the frame or glass artwork will have something to rest
on as the adhesive sets. You can also temporarily screw a board to the wall for the piece to rest on as the glue
dries, then remove the board after the glue has set and tile around it.
Cleaning Instructions:
You can clean with Windex and a lint free cloth, spraying
the Windex on the cloth rather that on the glass itself so
that the cleaner does not puddle between the glass and the
frame
