Bathroom window
The clients were remodeling a
bathroom, and wished to recreate a view of trumpet flowers from a former
home. Working with photos they supplied, I created the design below.
Although we live only about 20 minutes apart, we used email exclusively in
sharing ideas on the design.
The window is in the shower, so
they installed it on the outside of their awning window, which
they will want to crank open/out. The window opens on to their
sheltered entry, so heavy weather is unlikely to be an issue. They are
delighted with the end result and commissioned a set of
cabinet inserts as a follow-on. |
Sidelight
My daughter wanted panels for
the sidelights in the entry way of her home, near Chicago. She drew the original
design while she was visiting, and we used email to exchange information
and make changes to the design and glass choices. She wanted to be able to see out
clearly in some sections (at levels for her, her husband, and their
dog) while obscuring the view from the outside. I also sent her actual
glass samples to facilitate her ability to choose.
I flew to her home
with the panels in April, 2008. (The TSA inspectors at the airport were a bit challenged
trying to decipher what the 5 stacked and wrapped panels were!)
Installation was challenging, due to the existing moldings on the
window, which did not accept nails. She ended up using a window glazing
adhesive in the corners.

Donation Panel
Each year since I started
making stained glass panels that the Angel Island
Association has a benefit auction, I have created one as a donation. In
2008, the BayWood
Artists created many paintings of and from the island for a benefit for the
AIA. One of the artists, Sherrill Miller, gave me permission to use her painting
of Perle's Beach as an inspiration for the 2008 donation. The
view of Point Knox and Perle's Beach is from a vantage point off the
island.
