A Cabinet Full of Sunshine

Helloooooooo sunshine!

These cabinet doors had a tiny sun on the bottom with some rays, but was unfortunately damaged. We designed and made these replacements and boy do they pop!

Place on tempered glass, this is a custom design with lamination and colored glass jewels for a very awesome and dimensional piece - we miss being able to look at it in the Shoppe, but love knowing our art is in our clients home!

Art Glass for Bathrooms/Restrooms/Powder Rooms

We want our restrooms looking amazing, but we do not, so much, want anyone looking in from the outside, no matter how amazing they look!

Art glass is a a great solution - it combines your needed level of privacy with completely custom and unique designs to match your style. Or start fresh with a new design to update your restroom.

We can add our stained glass overlay to windows, mirrors, and even shower glass! A matching or flowing design can be created in your space. It will wow guests, give you a wonderful space, and keep your windows private with textures and colors!

Here’s to another year of creative art glass for our fabulous clients! We hope everyone had a great 2022 and below is some of the wonderful art glass and custom glass projects we got to work on:

Lead and Bevel in Art Glass

Lead and bevel, leadlite, or colorless stained glass is perfect for windows, doors, and entryways. They do not tie you down to a color while using the lines, textures, and a great variety of bevels to make stunning and unique designs. We can design around your level of opacity and matching the theme of your home, office, or business. Check out our Lead and Bevel page here to see our past works and find the inspiration for your new lead and bevel glass!

Fall Bear and the Mountains

This is an art glass overlay piece with an Autumn flair. Since spooky Halloween is over, we are sharing this piece with browns, reds, and oranges. The leaf and acorn at the top just really feel like Fall to us!

Our designers love creating scenes in art glass such as this brown bear looking off in the distance. Hang it in front of a window to get the glow from the sun and change your view to something new!

Art Glass Transoms

Transoms are high up windows - most often above doors or other windows. In general, these are stationary windows that provide light into the home. They are also a fantastic place for stained glass overlay and when the light shines through them, you can see the amazing colors and textures reflected inside the home. In the case of multiple transoms and windows, we can create cohesive matching pieces, or designs that flow from one window to the next.

Our designers work with our clients to create these pieces so that you get a custom piece of art and a custom experience! These are pieces made with the client in mind that include how much privacy they would like, colors, textures, style, and shapes. We can do all kinds of traditional and contemporary styles along with things to tickle your fancy!

Designs in Art Glass

Stained glass and stained glass overlay are absolutely lovely ways to add style and design to your home. They are a great way to combine form and function - such as added art glass to windows or cabinet doors. You already need glass in the home, so it is great to add some of your personality and style to that glass! Plus, this is a great way to add privacy or obscurity to these pieces. That way, the view can be what you want it to be looking in AND out!

Custom designs by our amazing designers mean you get a great one of a kind piece for your home. We can design with many different styles and enjoy giving our clients something amazing. Contact us today with what you had in mind for your art glass and get the process started to having art in your home!

Dragonfly and Flowers Stained Glass Window

We love how the sun makes art glass glow with it’s beautiful back lighting. Art glass is a great way to add design and beauty to your home that can add privacy while letting the light shine in.

This piece features a variety of flowers topped with a dragonfly being carried away by it’s iridescent wings. The background uses the crossed lines of the Tudor style while being framed by a striking red stained glass. This art glass was wonderful to create and we love that our clients get to enjoy it in their home!

Repair of Unique Stained Glass Window Panels

In the older part of Encinitas, this home was doing a remodel. It had these absolutely uniqe and wild panels from the 70’s that glowed in the light. Unfortunately, one of the panels of this stained glass window installation was a little beat up during construction. We were able to repair it and it was returned to it’s group in the newly updated home where its owners can enjoy it for years to come!

Stained Glass Repair in a Beautiful Space

We repaired this beautiful stained glass and worked with the client to give it a brand new lovely frame! They were so kind to show us the new home for their stained glass, and it is stunning! There is something special about knowing your work is being cherished in someone’s space, and this space is so relaxing and a beauty to look at.

We are here for your stained glass and art glass repair needs!

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!

Multi Panel Cliffs and Waves

This multi panel set of stained glass overlay has the design continue from one panel to the next. It really lightens up the hallway and adds a beautiful view as people pass by. This design features trees on a cliff overlooking a breaking waves and swooping birds. Clients work with our designers to get their ideal art glass created!

Shoppe at Night with new Glass!

Art Glass Overlay lives at Glass and Mirror Shoppe, and we are enjoying (and working hard) at the remodel. We are still here as a glass, mirror, and art glass creator and distributor. It has been a journey and we cannot wait until it is complete and when Oak Gallery is open for all to enjoy!

Here are our art glass doors in the front - cast glass underwater scene and mermaid art glass overlay. Both seen through our new sliding glass patio doors. We even got a new vinyl retrofit window to right of the front door!

Greek Letters in Sidelites

This sorority in Orange County got an upgrade to its side lights featuring their Greek letters, floral elements, and some fun stylized lead lines!

They are showing off their house pride while letting the light shine into their entrance. This is one of the many designs we have created that shy away from what many would think of as a traditional stained glass design. This is why we love what we do - we can create unique designs not normally done, or keep to our tradition of those classic styles. Let us know of an idea you have in mind and we can work with you to get it done!

Triple Glaze Golden Lead and Bevel Door Insert

This traditional stained glass door insert uses bevels, textured glass, and golden lead lines to create the colorless design. By being triple glazed, tempered glass protects the front and the back of the art glass. This helps protect from breaks and break ins by creating a stronger door insert. The textured glass used here is called Glue Chip and adds some privacy and obscurity to the door. The bevels are clear with some distortion at their beveled edges so you can still peek out at whoever is at your door.

The central bevels are arranged in a way that is reminiscent of a fleur-de-lis, framed by rectangular bevels and textured glass making a very balanced, traditional piece. We love that this design adds art to the home, without tying the home into a particular color. You can get inspired and check out our art glass window page here!

Peaches and Blossoms on the Branch

PeachesOverlay.JPG

This is an art glass panel we did featuring some refreshing peaches and their blossoms. The background is a clear texture that only lightly obscures the view, giving it a bit of a blur. In a window, you would feel like you were staring past some branches of your nearby peach tree. The blur pops them out from the background and feels really peaceful.

Our designs are inspired b y our clients wants and needs. This includes things from their past, present, home, and their own creative mind. We like taking our art glass to unique levels and create things you made not really see done in traditional stained glass.
