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.
