Colorful Stained Glass Triptych

September 23rd, 2011




I made these three windows as a wedding gift from a groom to his bride. They were created over 10 years ago and even though they are some of my favorite windows, I never took pictures of them. Now that I’ve spent the summer updating my portfolio, this job was one that I had to track down and find. Thank goodness for Google search! After only 30 minutes of searching online, I found the bride, who is now in a great Americana music band based out of Austin, Texas. When I knew her, she owned a restaurant in Seattle! She was gracious enough to respond right away to my request for pictures. It has been great re-living the creation of these windows because they really were a collaberation with the groom and his brother. There were a lot of special jewels and meaningful pieces in the windows. Good to see them again!

I thought I’d show a little bit of the installation process and the before and after pictures. This was the first time I had a photographer come out right after the install and it worked out wonderfully. It’s not easy to schedule so many people, but when I can, I will definitely try to make it happen. The first photo of the glass pieces cut up shows the prairie lustre of the Chicago Art Glass I used. It is sad that the company has gone out of business. I used the last sheet of that color I had!
