Custom Beveled Glass Window
This custom commission is mounted into the upper and lower sections of a double-hung window located on the landing of a residential staircase. The bevels in the central design are double-thick, having been made using 3/8" plate glass. This greatly enhances the rainbow effect when sunlight comes through the window. The bevels in the border and background are standard bevels, having been made using 3/16" plate glass. These panels are constructed with lead came, the proper choice for all geometric stained glass designs. The outer edge and many of the interior lines are zinc came, resulting in adequate strength without having to break up the design with reinforcement bars.

Transparent Dreams Stained Glass
I have been making stained glass for 50 years, since I took it up as a hobby at the age of eleven. I have been a full-time stained glass artist since 1975. I've won numerous awards for both my design and my craftsmanship.
I have completed commissions throughout the U.S. and Canada, and shipped my ready-made artworks as far as Dublin, Ireland. I also teach my unique methodology for making precision stained glass in a 43-hour set of DVDs, and I have sold hundreds of these sets in 15 countries so far.
As a visual artist, I invite you to view my images and compare the design and craftsmanship for yourself. Whether you are considering the purchase of an already-made stained glass artwork or commissioning new custom stained or beveled glass, I am confident that I can address both your desires and needs.
