Hanging Glass

Here we are at the Jewelry Studio in Sugar House. I had to put hooks in a wood stringer over the window so we could hang some of the glass in the window.

We'll be at Brittany Golden Studio in Sugar House Friday night from 6 to 9 and our work will hang through March.

Getting Ready For A Show

On Friday we'll be showing stained glass at the Brittany Golden Studio in Sugar House. Brittany is a wonderful jeweler and her website is an inspiration to me http://www.brittanygolden.com/  She was the one who introduced us to Weebly and that's how we began to rewrite all our websites into one. Her studio is at 1115 E and 2100 S, SLC Utah 84106 We''l be there friday from 6 till 9.

Here I'm cleaning all the windows

And here's a shot of the whole stack of windows ready to go in the car. A flat stack of eleven panels is just not that cool looking.

Help From A Friend

Alisha Bishop came to our home and gave us lots of marketing advice. Not only did she give us suggestions as to what we could be doing, she also showed us how to implement those suggestions! It was such fun to meet with her and gain from her experience.

In The Studio

This week Jeanne and I have been working on a angel together. The results are quite stunning, she really looks good! Jeanne's color choices have been so harmonious and vibrant. It's a very satisfying project!

Dance Of Life Stained Glass Install Celebration

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBotlilMKTA&feature=youtu.be
Lynde Mott suggested that the Firebird music by Stravinsky by played during our final install of the "Dance Of Life" stained glass project. We started building it in the middle of the summer and 7 months later, in the winter, it was complete.

Jeanne filmed all of the clips used in this video and designed several variations for this window. As the project continued, the customer made suggestions and was never afraid of color.

Christopher, our son, was instrumental in helping this install go well and Dane, our other son, helped a great deal as I built the panels.

This is the kind of project we dream about. One where the client wants beauty and is unafraid of the concept, in fact pushes us for more color and comes up with stories that push the design even further. Cost was never an issue, we hope you enjoy this presentation of our work.

Valetines Day and Art Glass

I'm writing this on Valentines Day and the best thing I can give Jeanne is to work long hours and get some projects completed so that she isn't so stressed (and maybe give her some bubble bath and time to use it).

The funny thing is that the lead up to Valentines Day has been a flurry of getting gift items ready for two different shows. One was at the Finer Consigner in Pleasant Grove and the other a week later at ION fitness in North Provo. After all the gift pieces were made and we had put on the first show, I found myself walking through a store one day and wondering why the Valentines candy hadn't been marked down more than it had been. Then I realized that the holiday hadn't come yet, that I was thinking it was over because we had completed our show!

The truth is, it was fun getting ready for those shows. Little heart shaped glass items have a real meaning before and on Valentines Day. Then it's like the day after Christmas, you can't give away those things that meant so much a few days before.

This is why it's important as we build our art and gift items to continue to create inspiring art and just a few gift items.

Hope your holiday is a joyful one.

New Series Of Women

This new Series shows four women at various times through out the day. We named each panel after a Greek goddess that was associated with the time of day shown in the scene. The one pictured here is Aurora, who is the goddess of the morning.

We also show Iris who rules the daytime and Persephone goddess of the evening and finally Selene who rules the night. It's fun to research these fictional deities. The Greeks had great stories and descriptions of each of them.

Each of the four panels are loosely based on famous painting and illustrations to give them a more historical, heirloom feel.
