Victorian Stained Glass Tulip Window

Donna sent me a picture of a stained glass piece that she really liked both in design and color palette. The piece however, sold as a fixed size and not the shape she needed for her space. I came up with a version that was close to the panel modifying the design as well as the shape. Donna chose the colors from the sample glass I provided.

So very busy these days.......lot's of new pictures to post and not enough time! This window was finished this December.

The window was made with a softer palette in mind. Combinations of several clear glass textures and stained glass were selected to achieve this. We decided to use CLEAR WATERGLASS as a background, IRIDESCENT WATERGLASS & IRIDESCENT GRANITE glass for the center design, AMBER WATERGLASS for borders and details in BABY BLUE STREAKY glass. The IRIDECENT glass gave us that touch of subtle color we needed to define the designs details.

Stained Glass Victorian Style Window

These stained glass windows were made for Victorian home built for H.F.C. Furnard, a successful pharmacist, in the early 1900's. It is conveniently located in Sherman Heights, blocks from the Gaslamp Quarter and within a mile from Petco Park. This makes this Victorian guest house a prime location for San Diego tourists. Reservations can be made by visiting http://www.victoriangetaway.com/ The website features pictures of the home decorated with period furniture.

Chuck is the proud Innkeeper of this charming guest house. He contacted me in February specifying a custom Victorian style window for his front door. He had been welcomed by two hummingbirds in his backyard when he moved in and wanted to incorporate it in this window. We fabricated this window using a combination of copperfoil for the center oval medallion and lead.

This was a home in need of a lot of TLC and Chuck is doing just that. I am a lucky witness of his passion to restore this beautiful historic house.

A few designs were selected for this home. The homeowner quickly fell in love with this design after it was scaled to the window size and colors were added to the drawing. The colors were chosen to match the trim and interiors of the home.

German Jewels were added to the four corners of the panel.

Victorian Stained Glass Window Panel

This stained glass victorian panel was made using the Tiffany copper foil technique. It was meant for a surface mounted application. Most of the panel is fabricated using opal glass. The background area is a streaky Kokomo for contrast and obscure visability. This stained glass panel is completely surrounded by green jewels.
