Beveled Glass Sidelights Over Textured glass

I was comissioned to fabricate a pair of beveled sidelights with a design that would complement the front security door design. The glass in the sidelights is a very obscure flemish textured glass (see below). The homeowner did not want to remove this glass and asked us to surface mount the beveled glass panel.

I recommended that textured glass be replaced with clear glass to ensure the details of the beveled glass show best on both sides. I then took a small sample beveled panel I had and placed it over the textured glass to show my client the effect it would have. She was certain she wanted to keep the textured glass for privacy and surface mount the beveled glass.

The outcome was great!!! The beveled glass shows quite nicely in the interior of the home. The outline of the lead lines is very much visible on the exterior also.

Thank you so very much for the pictures!!!!!

Iridescent Stained Glass Sidelight Windows

Using Iridescent Stained Glass is a great way to add a subtle hint of color to window panels and accentuate a center design or use instead of bevel clusters.

These pictures were taken at an angle and I was able to capture the many colors that this beautiful glass reflects in the light.

This homeowner asked me to replicate the design of his iron gate for his two stained glass sidelight windows. I added a clear bevel border to frame the design and four bevel rectangles to tie it all together.

Stained Glass Wisteria Window

I was contacted by Mrs. Mitchell to design and fabricate a staircase window. We didn't have a clear idea of the design that would be used. After speaking to the Mitchells, the idea of wisteria vines was brought up and we went from there. The color palette was chosen to match colors the existing wallpaper in the kitchen which they both really liked and wanted to use as the primary colors.

I presented the Mitchells with the initial drawing and was delighted when they notified me they wanted to add sidelights to their front door to match the Wisteria & Camelia window. These windows were all surface mounted with bead moldings and fabricated using the copperfoil method.

I deeply regret not have taken good pictures! These windows are trully beautiful in person.

Stained Glass Butterfly Sidelight

Donna Wolf is a local Jewery Designer that wanted to have a sidelight window made for her home specifying the use of butterflies. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and a most amazing person to know.

Preliminary colored drawings above were provided to customer for sidelight window commission. Stained glass colors were proposed to client based on drawings. Donna went through several textures and colors she liked and the sidelight was made accordingly.

TESTIMONIAL:

I found Lorenia/SD Glass Art while surfing the net. After a single phone call, she arrived at my home, with samples, ideas, recommendations and a complete collaborative attitude to assist me with my idea for a custom front stained glass window for my home. She totally understood my vision and gave me numerous sample "mock ups". We worked together, using my idea and her expertise to come up the THE PERFECT window that was simply "just ME". I would work with her again in a second and have recommended her to the numerous neighbors who have complimented my gorgeous, original piece of art!

I bought a fabulous necklace created by Donna which I wear almost everywhere. My clients and friends have commented on the beauty and substance of the natural stones it is made with. Her creativity and attention to detail is evident in all of her jewelry designs. Love....love.....love my Lapis bracelet too!!!!!
