A Grand Entrance with Art Glass

Many homes feature door inserts in their front doors, and some have side lites as well, or sometimes it is just a side lite or two. These are great places for stained glass overlay or stained glass. These types of art glass can be created with many different colors, textures, or bevels. Our designers can match what our clients already have, whether it is creating a new door insert or side lites to match original pieces. Or, we can create a whole new set that better reflects our clients style.

The front door is the entrance to the home, and we love helping our clients make these entrances grand! Plus, the different colors and textures add as much privacy and obscurity as you would like.

Views of Waves Crashing on the Cliffs

What do you want to see when you looking out your window? Views, memories, or visions are possible with art glass windows. Our designers work with you to create works of art such as this in art glass overlay. It has a similar look to traditional stained glass, with the benefit of more leeway in design plus UV inhibitors to protect you and the interior of your home. And we love adding additional bits such as glass globs or glass bevels to add more dimension and style to the design.

Our client now has the perfect view of a Torrey pine on the cliffs edge overlooking a beautiful cresting wave!

Bright Sun over an Ocean Wave

Happy Summer Solstice! Bright Suns are here for the Summer months, and we are sharing this piece we did that celebrates living on the coast. The addition of the gems coming off the wave is a beautiful touch and catches the light like splashes of water would.

Plus, we love the moody colors the clouds have - reminds us of the overcast mornings here in Carlsbad! The sun also has some wonderful colors from the overlay that give it more a painterly feel.

We love working on projects for our clients and this one was no exception!

Framed Wave with a Peak of the Sun

This lovely piece took some time and effort to add those fine, squiggle lines! We even added glass globs for even more texture in the water. The focus is on the details of the wave, the sun peaking into the frame is the perfect balance to the scene. It really brings those beach feelings close to home and we know this piece looks amazing hanging on display for it owners. Our focus is creating custom art glass that our clients will love and treasure. Our designers work with our clients to create glass that matches their home, vacation spot, hobby, pets, and many other loves. Use art glass to create privacy in windows, intrigue on mirrors, or hanging art to divide the room.

It truly is wonderful knowing something you created is being enjoyed in someone’s home - which is why we love doing it!

Magical Mermaid Mirror

This mermaid is floating towards the surface and beautifully framing this mirror. Our stained glass overlay is perfect for getting what would be challenging designs in stained glass created for our clients projects. In this case, we have our fish and mermaid on one solid mirror creating a unique, custom looking glass.

Our designers work with our clients to work on creating their ideal design, we draw the pattern by hand, and once approved, start work on creating and completing a custom work of art!

Sandblasted Dolphins Balcony Glass

This was a fun project with a custom design done in single stage sandblasting. It is a bit of an indoor balcony by the top of the stairs. This way you can still see a bit of what is going on while having custom art in your home. We created the design with the client inspired by these fun ocean creatures and some of their environment.

Ocean Sunset Sidelite

The sidelight next to this front door formally had some very public clear glass in it. With art glass, the light is still able to get in while you maintain your privacy. On top of that, you get you very own personalized view of whatever you like! Here, our clients have the setting sun with beaming rays, swooping seagulls, the ocean waves, and a shell nestled in the sand. If some clear areas or a peephole is needed, we ca integrate that into the design as well!

Under the Sea (Over the Tub) Window

This ocean design focuses on plants and shells we may find under the water! The design spans all three windows, giving the viewer a feel for being under the sea. Pair it with a soak in the tub for a relaxing experience! The kelp frames the outside edge of the piece, iridescent bubbles float towards the surface, shells rest on the sand, all while swooping shapes make up the blue water.

We love creating art glass for windows because it gives our clients the ideal view they have been looking for. This piece blocks the view of a wall and neighbors, providing more privacy with soothing colors. If not everything needs to blocked, we can leave clear or less obscure areas in design for peeking out or keeping your beautiful yard in view.

Lighthouse on a Cliff Overlooking the Ocean....

… while a sailboat passes by!

This is a piece we have been working on that has a lot of great details! It will make its home in a vintage frame to complete its classic theme. We love being able to create these scenes of life with a lot of texture and great colors! This piece is inspired by the Cabrillo National Monument area of Point Loma.

We work with our clients are on the overall design, features, and colors. Here we even have a faceted glass piece as the light for the light house which gives it a little pop and some fun dimension. Check out the gallery below to see close ups of the sections and take in the swooping and swirling in the colors!

Art Glass Design Over Four Transom Windows

This project had a design that spanned multiple windows. The sun adds a blaze of color to the clouds over the colorful, rolling waves that crash into the surrounding cliff sides.

We worked with our clients to create this seascape to add custom art to their home. They will always have their own personal ocean view!

Light will still come through the windows, making the art glass glow beautifully. The lamination we use will also cut down on the UV’s coming through. Our clients come to us with a need for unique windows and we work with the designs they are looking for. Sometimes they have an idea, and sometimes we have to pick their brains for what will speak to them. Sometimes it’s matching a photo they took, a painting in the home, or designs in the surrounding furniture. Then a paper pattern is created by hand which our clients approve, and work with us to pick all the colors, bevels, and other decorative elements. Once it is all put together by our artists and ready, we install it into our clients home or work, and they have beautiful art made for them to be enjoyed!
