Relaxing before 2013 craziness starts....

Ok...We are feeling a litttle stressed at the studio but we are still smiling...I am trying to relax before 2013....because as crazy as this sounds ...2013 is already pretty booked...  Our 2013 is actually starting early as we have 99 windows and 13 doorlites to compete for our Thornhill Project before February 1.. Exciting.. ")

We  also have  6 ceiling lenses for another Mississauga Project by mid December..It is funny we have worked on three different sites over the past year on the same street.  Have to say this is a first.  "Glassworks Studio..we are everywhere..."  LOL

..I love it... the excitement and the promises...Back from holidays and I just want to get going!! 

Here are some pics  of 2nd street Oakville..Obviously Rennie Inspired..Have a great weekend!
My Artwork based on  Detail Below...

Timeless and Elegant Leaded Glass Door lites installed in South Mississauga, Glassworks Studio Toronto.

Here is another example of how leaded glass (when designed and built site specific) can complete the "WOW" factor of any space.

This entry installed by Kolbe Window Gallery is complimented by the Custom Leaded Thermals installed by Glassworks Studio.  I enjoy working with many businesses and trades who pride themselves in absolute client satisfaction...I love being part of such an accomplished group and seeing the results of our work.



I love the clarity of the glass selected for this project and how the custom bevel work simply sparkles.  Timeless and Elegant!

NEW BUT ...Traditional Leaded Glass Windows installed in Toronto House.

I know that today is Saturday....however we are trying to finish up all of our little builds and installations before our "huge" Vaughan Project starts. A Saturday installation worked well for our client and us.  Here is an example of before and afters of what we do...

These leaded glass panles were installed from inside the home on the inner panel of the new thermal units...These windows were installed by Pella last month and today we installed the leaded glass panels on what we term side #4.  They are very traditional in design to go with the new front door that our client had installed also last month.

A little stained glass artwork at the studio today..

From little tiny concept drawing to full scale layout...We are definitely loving what we do lately...This feels like the calm before the craziness starts...  This project can be summerized by color, color, color....Just wait till you see the finished panel.  

 

Leaded Cabinet Inserts..

These inserts are based off a project that I completed a few years ago...Once a door lite transformed into two cabinet inserts...Wow..."yes...we can do magic at the studio..." LOL

Here these beauties are...
