Traditional style window corner on sale at Acadia Footwear in the Old Mill.
Linda had the idea for window corners and it fits with my thought of providing some affordable art.
I plan on a future project of creating a window valance that goes all the way across the top of a window.

Linda came up with the idea for a black frame which I never had given a thought to. I really like it!

I'm still here working. I have a new window put together but need to finish the frame. Just taking my time to get it right. Also trying to get some other artists interested in displaying at the art walk in the Old Mill during the summer months. More to come................

Here is a couple of picutres of the entry to the Fireplace Room.

A couple of pictures from the inside.

I decided to add one more of the center section. In this one you can really see the variations and look at the background glass. The lines you see really add depth to this. It is a nice setting for the colors of the flowers to make them stand out.

Here are the two windows finished and leaning in our front window. I will be installing them on October 25th and then posting pictures of them in the location.

This is a close up of the top left flower so you can see the color changes in the petals.
This is the bottom part the window. Even these don't give a good idea of the background glass variation in color and intensity. I can't wait to see them in the front door!

I thought I should provide some pictures of the setting. The first picture is the entry door that my windows are going into. The stained glass you see is in bad shape and really close to falling apart. The bottom picture Linda won't like but it is standing in the same place as the first picture and just turing slightly to the left. You can ignore the snow it NEVER snows there, especially in April when this was taken. However all those flowers peeking out of the fresh snow were pretty..............what a wonderful relaxing place!

I am going to take you through an overview of the process in designing and building a window.
This project is for the Dershams at Eagle Rock Lodge on the McKenzie river. If you ever want to get away to an absolutely gorgeous relaxing place with an incredible breakfast you should head to this place. It is beautiful!!!!

The design is drawn to full scale and two copies are made.
One is to provide the layout of the glass to make sure it is fitting the
desired size. If you get this wrong boy do you have troubles. It
is not good to build a window that will not fit the opening!
The other sheet is the actual pattern. Each piece is cut out,
layed on the glass and marked then the piece of glass is cut
and layed out. The steps before reaching this point are actually
quite time consuming, meeting and discussing ideas, doing
research on the topic of design, sketching out ideas, then
drawing up a design from the sketches. I then discuss this with the client
to get input, make changes, and get a basic color selection.
Pricing is decided and agreed upon before I draw up the full
sized design and purchase supplies.

After I have the design finished to scale I purchase the glass
and supplies. I go to Portland to select my glass from among
thousands of pieces of glass. The pieces shown here are about
four square feet each so they are large pieces of glass. Notice
the difference in these pictures. They are the same pieces of glass
but in the top I tried to photograph them so you see the glass
without the backlight or as they would be viewed at night.
The bottom picture is with the sun behind them lighting
them up. It is an example of why I tell people that the windows
can change colors depending on the light and type of glass.
