Heron Stained Glass Window

This stained glass window was made for a client who lives across from the Intracoastal Waterway in the Sea Gate community, Newport, NorthCarolina.
The homeowner had an eclectic interior style of Victorian to rustic to beach throughout the home using soft umber browns, golds and bold steps of secondary colors. This decorating effort came together beautifully!
It was now my job to compliment all of the design aspects of the decor with a heron and a natural Down East and tropical North Carolina appeal.


I really enjoyed doing this panel...

Celtic Compass Rose

Stumbling around I came across a twist on the traditional compass rose design made using a Celtic knot. This one from Da Vinci's Workshop was made for tile but can easily be adapted to stained glass or mosaics. The design is copyrighted so please ask their permission or use policies if you use it.

Visit Da Vinci's Workshop to see more of their water jet tile work.

Holy Spirit Oval

Just finished an oval version of my popular Holy Spirit window. Added in this design was two banner areas marking an anniversary. The window size is 18" x 24".
Final destination is a church in the West Indies on the island country of Nevis.

Holy Spirit Round

Recently finished cropped version of the Holy Spirit stained glass design I make.

The frame size needed to be 38". I also modified the inner border for an overlapping effect and brought out the size of the dove into  the background to compensate for the smaller panel size. The doves are the same exact size in all windows.

 

Here is the same design in a 43" panel size...

The original 43" version...

47" version.
