It’s taken some time for all the glass to arrive (ordering online can be a pain when you aren’t told an item isn’t in stock) but the glass for the sky finally arrived the other day. This window sat on the table waiting first for the water to come in and then the sky.

The pattern actually came from an etched window I saw in a catalogue. I modified it here and there until it matched what the customer wanted. Here’s the original picture that I saw:

And this is the finished version of the window:

We originally planned on a different color for the border but when the center scene of the window was finished it was easy to see that the color we originally chose was not going to work. Luckily we did have a green that framed it wonderfully.

Also finished this week (and installed) is the new front door panel. Made of all clear glass and bevels it measures 50″ x 23″. Here’s 2 views with light coming through at different times of the day:

Please note that the windows are not out of square, it’s just my inability to correctly line up the camera with the windows (I’m not using a tripod).
