Entry Door Side-Lite Stained Glass Window
A stained glass side-lite (window next to a door) enhances this home's entry both indoors and out. It greets guests as they approach the front porch yet obscures the home's interior. Inside it splashes color on the wall and floor as the sun moves across the sky. Coral and white opalescent glass, pink and shades of blue mouth-blown (antique) glass, and clear iridescent glass are arranged according to the pattern of a particular butterfly's wings. The owners' small collection of mounted and framed butterflies was only half the inspiration for the lyrical design. The other half was music: The couple had also collected Broadway show albums. This window could induce you to sing and dance!

Meet the Maker
Mary Ann And Jay Paulukonis
Paulukonis Studio
We are a husband-wife team who design and create stained glass windows, artful stained glass objects, and functional fused glass for homes, businesses, and public spaces. For more than thirty-five years we have been creating windows, glass panels, and light fixtures tailored to specific sites. Now we also offer kiln-formed glass. We love working with mouth-blown and handmade glass because of its rich beauty, and our delight in the glass is shown through innovative design and excellent fabrication in lead and copper foil techniques as well as fusing and slumping.
Whether you desire an architectural installation, accessories like a lamp or light vessel, a piece of stained glass art for your personal collection, colorful tableware, or a very special gift, we can create something original. Client needs and interests are central to our design and fabrication process. While it is advantageous to discuss a window project before new construction, we also fabricate to fit existing windows.

Excellent! They came to my house to see the room, were right on time, sent me samples of the stained glass and pictures of their design, and delivered and hung the lamp themselves... all for a reasonable price! They were very nice also.
