Not all windows are rectangles; sometimes they are curved, round, triangles, octagons, and more! Since all of are glass is custom, we can create art glass for these shapes. This way you get a unique window made to fit your needs! You can check out our Shaped Window Page here to see more of what we have done.
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!

Transom Windows and Art Glass
What is a transom window?
These type of windows refer to their location above a doors or another windows transom; a beam at the top of the window or door. These windows come in different shapes and custom sizes for the home, business, or whatever type of building it is. These types of higher up windows are great candidates for art glass because their location shows them off well and usually means they will have different types of lighting coming through them throughout the day.
Adding art glass such as sandblasting, cast glass, or stained glass is a great way to show off your style, add any privacy needed, and upgrade your transom windows.

Check out this door insert! It combines that classic art deco geometric design with wonderful cool colors with a pop of yellow.

Art Glass Overlay Appreciation
This is a small example of the art glass overlay work we have done. Our designers love creating these custom works to fit our clients needs. It is truly wonderful to know something we created is being enjoyed in our clients home.
We create designs based on our clients. Whether we our making a piece to complement previous work, creating a scene, doing something abstract, or highlighting a hobby, it is made for our clients. These are made on tempered glass for strength and the lamination also has UV inhibitors which is a bonus for sun exposed art.

Privacy & Design for the Bathroom
This is a lead and bevel design for the sliding windows over the tub in a bathroom. The frosty looking background texture (Gluechip) keeps things private while still allowing the outside light to come in and illuminate the art. This is a custom design for a client with clean lines and a wonderful bevel cluster in the center of the windows. They can still be opened as well, making art even more functional. We are here to make your custom design come true with art glass! Check out our art glass window page here to see more of what we have done and gt inspired!

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.
Check out our Entryway page here for more information and photos of our previous work!
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!

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!

Lead and Bevel Art Glass - A Monochrome Delight!
Lead and Bevel in traditional stained glass and stained glass overlay involves lead lines creating the design and often includes bevels which are specialty shaped pieces of glass that can be used individually or together to create a decorative shape. It can be with clear, textured, or privacy glass as well. These are great ways to add design to your entryway - we can create cohesive pieces that work together with your needed level of privacy. Plus, with only a small bit of color, or none at all, it is easier to match with the rest of the home. And, if you are selling the home, lead and bevel is a great choice without locking anyone into a certain color.
Add art glass yo your windows, doors, mirrors, or have your own piece created for hanging! Our talented designers love being creative and making a unique piece that matches our clients style. Contact us today about your lead and bevel piece!
Birds of Paradise - Circular Glass
These birds of paradise stand out against a “glue chip” textured background. The green colors of the leaves have a wonderful, natural look to them and the color of the flowers pop next to them. This circular design looks great in front of a window or when it can be backlit. We can even add hooks and chain to these art glass overlay pieces so that it may be hung. Our designers can recreate your favorite flower in art glass for you to enjoy for years to come!
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!
Decorative Mirrors - Bevels, Shapes, and Stained Glass
We are working on a few new pages for our site and that includes decorative mirrors. You can check out our mirror page here at our Glass and Mirror Shoppe site to see our retro options, edgework, and some of our work!
All of our glass and mirrors are custom made to fit your space, frame, or shape where mirror is needed. We can also polish or bevel the edges for a finished look. Our designers can add glass bevels and lead to the surface for a unique design on your mirror. We can also sandblast designs onto a mirror for a frosted white flower, logo, saying, creature, or whatever our designers can come up with! Combining stained glass and mirrors is also a gorgeous option combining this classic art with or on top of your mirror. Decorative mirrors are a perfect example of form and function - we use them daily, why not make them beautiful?
