What inspires me?

Magazine photos, paintings, old stained glass windows in century homes…and mostly people, like the young father of three, who asked me to make him something special for his wife last Christmas.  He asked me to build a transom window to sit over the doorway of his family room.  He wanted the word “family” to be in the design, but didn’t want it to stand out.

So, pencil in hand, I started sketching a design.  From there, the building of the panel begins.   The end result…see for yourself.  If you look closely, you will see heavy lead lines to indicate the letters in the word, FAMILY.  It was a fun project to work on, and the young husband earned many brownie points too!
