Made by a stained-glass restorer with a church window in her hands
Colette Marchetti, 67. Thirty-eight years of restoring stained glass, including eleven weeks on a rose window in a Newport chapel. In her 36th year she was asked to take the windows out of a closing church, and she took the offcuts home. When her granddaughter Nora turned five, Colette sketched an owl. Nora said, "Grandma, he is alive." Within two years there were nine animals.
“I want them lit.”— Colette Marchetti, Providence, Rhode Island
