MY RECENT ADDITION TO THE STUDIO IS…
PET PORTRAITS IN STAINED GLASS
*
New to my glass studio has been stained glass windows
created for people of their “member of their family” otherwise known as their dog or
other pet. This glass journey all started while creating my own
personal window of my dog, Daisy who was a doberman and rottweiler mix
dog that I was fortunate to have in my life. When I was working on the
drawing for the window and finally printed it out in color, this picture
stopped me in my tracks and touched my heart, as if she was right in
front of me again! It was an emotional moment more powerful than I ever
expected. I knew right at that moment the artwork I had to offer Pet
Portraits in Stained Glass to animal lovers everywhere.
With just a few photographs of your dog or pet, I create a stained
glass drawing and design. This is then transferred to my computer where I
redraw the design and select particular types of colored stained glass
for each piece that will be cut out and I then create out a quick
colored print from my inkjet printer to work with before the design
becomes a treasured reality in stained glass. It takes over 40 hours to
complete a window from the concept drawing to the finished stained
glass window. This is the journey I love the most, seeing the pet
artistically come alive in glass.
I CAN CREATE A WINDOW OF YOUR PET…THAT YOU WILL CHERISH FOR A LIFETIME!
