Stained Glass Ocean Wave


John has a fire rated wire window (wire grid pattern) required by the building's safety code. He commissioned me to make a stained glass hanging that would fit behind his blinds to cover the glass.
Thank you John!

Custom Stained Glass Design for Slumped Pieces

A good friend of mine had 2 slumped pieces her husband had bought for her while on a business trip to Quebec, Canada.
She had the idea of using the sailboat and fish integrated somehow in a hanging panel to cover a window in the bathroom area.
She chose a combination of dark opal glass to block the morning sunlight in her bathroom. The glob bubbles tied the slumped glass and stained glass together perfectly. The two mediums work effortlessly together.
Thank you for your patience Maria!

Stained Glass Hanging Window Panels

I’m always thrilled to see new and creative ways to display our stained glass window hangings. Here's a new one!

Hello Lorenia:
My wife, Lili, and and I just love your work. Here are pictures of the three pieces we've purchased so far. The first one we framed and put on our front balcony. One went to our bay window in our bedroom. The 'Lighthouse" is going to be framed and placed outside above our front porch. We are looking forward to you bringing the oval "sailboat", so I can put it in my office. The lighthouse is a little big for the window, as you can see.

We should get you a little storefront here in downtown OB. This is just marvelous work.
Bruce M. Douthit, Attorney


Thank you for the pictures Bruce and Lili!!!!!

My Stained Glass Shipment Was Received Damaged. What Should I Do?

All of our pieces are carefully packed using 1" foam to sandwich each stained glass piece.

In the unfortunate event a shipment is received damaged, please contact us immediately by phone: 619.250.6690, email: info@sdglassart.com, or fax: 866.617.8898.

A claim must be filed with the shipping carrier by us (the shipper) within 1~2 days of the delivery. It is very difficult to have the claim approved if the report is not done immediately. We must then authorize the return shipment before it is made. Many times the shipping company asks to see the damaged item and packing before any returns are made.

Once the stained glass piece is recieved, a replacement will be shipped. Many times the customer loves the colors so much that repair is requested. If repair is requested, please allow 1~2 weeks additional for repairs and shipping to be made.

This stained glass hanging is sold on the website's SHOP NOW! tab in the STAINED GLASS HANGINGS page.

TESTIMONIAL:
Dear Lorenia,
My most sincere thanks for repairing and resending the beautiful two round turtle windows. They are perfect and I've already hung them on either side of the original one I had so I now have one in each of my three bedroom windows. They are especially beautiful when the sun is setting, as the front of our house gets the evening setting sun (when we have sun, that is :)
Thank you again. I will definitely recommend your site to others in the future.

Stained Glass Koi Pond and Lotus Door Inserts

These stained glass lotus pond panels were designed for entry door inserts. My customer Mr. K. had seen a "lotus pond theme" pair of entry doors that he really liked. After speaking with him about the theme, colors, and getting feedback on what he wanted to see, I presented him with a couple of alternative drawings to the picture he sent me. The dragonfly was added per his request. Mr K. then requested the koi to be added the the other window panel. Thank you for the pictures Mr. K.
Much more than I hoped for!

Stained Glass California Sea Gull Skylight

Mrs. B. contacted me regarding a skylight that had been closed out in a previous remodel of her home. She resides in a now Historical area in La Jolla and wanted to re-do the skylight. She wanted to use stained glass amber rondels like the ones in antique cabinet doors she had stored away. I suggested a center medallion with a theme..............anything she would like. Living in La Jolla with that breathtaking view of the ocean and shore, she decided a California Sea Gull would be most appropriate. After a few designs, the drawing above was chosen. Reinforcing the stained glass was a challenge because we did not want to interrupt the design with the steel bars running behind the rondels. Gluechip glass was chosen for its obscurity as background to hide the halogen lamp strip lighting the skylight.

Hand Forged Wrought Iron with Stained Glass Gate

Harriet and Norm Herman contacted me in December of 2006. They had a vision of a wrought Iron Gate with stained glass. I had not seen this anywhere and thought it was a great idea. We had such difficulty finding a hand forged wrought iron craftsman that was willing to fabricate a strong custom wrought iron gate for a full stained glass window pane. The Hermans were fortunate to find the right craftsman.
My sincerest thanks to The Hermans whose patience and perseverance made all possible.

OUR VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO "BRENTS METAL ART" FOR MAKING THE PROJECT COME TOGETHER WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM HAND FORGED GATE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE STAINED GLASS WINDOW.
I couldn't get a good detailed picture of the whole stained glass window. I took close up pictures of the top and the bottom separately.
The picture below was taken at night with the two lights on the side illuminating it. When the lights are on inside, the window becomes fully lit.

TESTIMONIAL:
Dear Lorenia,
Thank you so much for everything you did to make our "creative thought" become a reality! We love the gate and have to thank you for assisting us in making the design and colors come together. You are an amazing person to work with and know. Please use us as a reference anytime.
Best always,
-Harriet and Norm Herman
