Glitz & Grandeur

@glitzandgrandeur / glitzandgrandeur.tumblr.com

Glass is amazing! It’s a suspended liquid that moves and flows. It changes with light and the lack of light! It's smooth and glossy, it has texture and depth. It's cool, it's hot, it melts, but is strong. It sparkles. It shines. It even casts rainbows. Oh glass, how I love you! I'm Susan, a stained glass artisan. I also work with fused glass, and make handcrafted jewelry. This, my blog, it's where I post pics, ramble on, and share things that catch my eye, turn me on, spark a reaction, or that I just plain like. You can find pictures of projects in progress here, instead of just the finished pieces on Etsy. I have an little shop on Etsy called Glitz & Grandeur. You can connect directly to Etsy, or directly to my shop by clicking the appropriate 'Etsy' or 'Glitz & Grandeur' link below. You can also find my page on Facebook under "Artists" as Glitz & Grandeur, or click the Facebook icon below. The same goes for my Pinterest boards. Thanks for visiting!

One way to cover a large window is to use multiple panels.  This window is about 72 inches wide by maybe 48 inches tall.  Five panels are hung to cover the space (because I want full coverage).  

The three in the center are only there for the time being.  I have a sun or flower (however you opt to view it) design planned for that space, but I can't seem to decide on if it should be one large square panel, or two rectangular panels .... a single large panel always looks nice and impressive, but two smaller panels are easier to work with, and more versatile should they ever need to be used elsewhere or sold.  Kinda digging on all the bevel panels though, they let lots of light through.

New commission - Chicago Condo Transoms - just laying out the bevels for one of the windows.  There will be eight bevels and textured clear 'patchwork' panels in total.  Each will have a thin colored border and center, a different color for each window.  The intent is to provide privacy (fully obstructed view), while allowing for maximum light.

The previously posted (foiled and ready for solder) panel will be the first one of a set of four for my personal use.  When completed, the panels will cover two side-by-side double hung sash windows - similar to the two panels in the window shown above, but with another set next to it.  

The reason behind opting to go with hanging a top and bottom panel, rather than one tall panel is that I still want to be able to have access to the window locks and have fully functional windows.  They will be hanging rather than mounted in each sash because the windows are not wood framed and so that they can easily be changed or removed.
