Transom Stained Glass Window Enlivens Entry Way!

A few months ago I had installed a transom window into a client's home.  They loved the window, how the bevels really captured the light, how it flowed nicely in the space. This is the panel which I had shared in an earlier post.

A couple of weeks ago I received this email from them:

"Regarding our transom window that you created for us:

We love our transom window (as do our neighbors!). We continue to see 
more and more 'movement' in the glass depending on the time of day as 
the light is changing from summer to fall. We are so pleased with the 
beauty it has brought to our home.  It has enlivened a former neutral 
space. We enjoy looking at it everyday!

Hope you are doing well,
Val Hambley and Kenn Wong"

I am so pleased that they are seeing something new in it as the seasons change. That is 

one things that I plan on when designing for a space and types of glass to use.

I hope this inspires you as to what you can do for your home and office.  

"Circular Movement" work in progress

I have been working on a smaller glass panel titled "Circular Movement". Here is some of the progress with the bevels and piecing together.

Standard Glass Bevel compared to an Isaac Smith Bevel

I would like to explain a bit more about standard bevels and the bevels that I have been producing in my artwork.  
The following is a pic of a design that I am working on.  In the image on the left I drew out the bevels using  3/8 inch width . As the image shows the width is the same all around the shape on all bevels.  The design on the right shows the width of the bevels changing.  The left design looks nice but is flat as a whole.  I found that by changing the width there is much more depth and movement throughout the piece.  

The following 2 images shows a standard bevel where the width is the same all around the shape and a bevel that I am working on for this design which shows the width widens or narrows in different areas around the shape.

This is one thing that distinguishes my work from other glass artist's work.  I have created more depth, movement and light play throughout my designs which in turn adds so much more to a piece of art for your home.
