This design was intended to have the exciting feeling of Las Vegas, incorporating a representation of the Bellagio and fountains, the blown glass floral Dale Chihuly ceiling, and a variation (personalized) of the landmark welcome sign. I painted and fired lots of details.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
The panel at right was the first custom piece to use permanent glass painting, fired to over 1200 degrees, like traditional church window detailing done for many centuries. 
 
Completed Dec. 2008
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The 2 panels above, completed Oct. 2008, were designed to create a feeling of bringing the outdoors in, and blending with the natural surroundings. The background is a shimmery clear semi-antique imported from Germany with light distortion. Semi-antique is a good choice for background where privacy is not critical.
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
       
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Outer Banks Lighthouse panel was based on a postcard. It was made as a wedding gift to represent the place of the event
 
 
 
To the right are all clear custom cabinet doors using clear bevels and many textures.
 
 
 
 
 
The transom above was completed Sept. 2008 for a private residence.
