Full scale design completed

The design is layed out in full scale- 46 inch diameter

Once I get the drawing completed then I figure out what glass will go where and label each section.

Designs for a circular window

I am working on a design for a circular window measuring 46" diameter. 

The colors are preliminary.  The white areas in the bottom one are going to be different clear textured glass. 

My article in Oregon Home Magazine

I have a 2 page article in the fall 2015 issue of Oregon Home magazine. 

I am very pleased with it and hope it brings many projects.
It is now available to view online

Church window project- hand beveled glass

The top picture shows glass cut for different pieces to be hand beveled and the bottom pic shows after the 4 stages from rough through polishing.

Church Project, continued

Top picture shows design number 3 in progress and the bottom pic shows completed.  Sorry there is a large shadow on the bottom so you can't see the color flow down. 

New project- 8 Stained glass windows for a church

I am working on a project which entails 8 windows for a church in Spokane, WA.  The design was done by Joan Smith in Cour d Alene, ID and I helped a little with it.  Each panel is approximately 4ft by 28 inches.  The design starts with upper left image and all 4 follow each other in a diagonal line.  The design is mirrored making a total of 8 windows. 

The next 2 images show the beginning steps of laying out the design and figuring out how to shape the glass that will be hand beveled.

Painting Completed

I enjoy the depth of the leaves.  I find it calming to look at. 

Started new painting- untitled so far

Feels good to paint again.  I have really been fascinated by leaves, whenever I go out on walks with my daughter we go through an area with lots of different trees, it is very beautiful and peaceful.  I get caught up watching the leaves, how they move, their shapes, the sound they make when there is a breeze. 

Kitchen stained glass windows completed

Here are before and after pictures:

When the sun shines through the textures of the glass show up in different areas of the kitchen.
The triangle bevels have a color piece that is hand beveled and bonded on top. 

Stained Glass for Kitchen Windows

Design #4 was chosen and the following images show the beginning stages of fabrication.

Stained Glass Designs #6 and 7 out of 7

These are the last 2 designs for the 2 panel kitchen windows.  I wanted something to contrast the geometric and to tie into the plants around the area.
