Beveled Glass Kitchen Inserts....These are really nice!!!

Here are the custom beveled cabinet inserts that I polished today..they are still not complete as I have to solder little medallions at the intersections.....but so far so good...  No details were overlooked here...every piece of glass is custom beveled...even those tiny corner pieces.....And they look "WOW"

Makes it all worth the while.

Ok this is my last post tonight.....Have an awesome weekend...Tomorrow I am off to Ajax to look at a very near project!  EXciting!!!
Bevels, Bevels, Bevels at Glassworks Studio, Toronto.

Ok...here it is again....

Glassworks Studio, Toronto CANADA
I know I have posted this so many times...But again here is my famous studio door lite....  The great thing is.."I still love it!"  Yesterday while I was working on a window layout the sun was shining....I sat and sipped my coffee and just enjoyed....The purple Bullseye just looked brillant....

Leaded Glass Transoms off to Ottawa...

Ok this week I finished the Rockcliffe Park Project...4 transoms and a total of 6 interior door lites.  WHEW!!
This afternoon the crate was picked up and off they went on a big truck to Ottawa.  I loved this project but am glad that they are shipped.... Today was a great day at the studio..I cannot explain...just in a happy place!  I polished some beveled panels that are for some cabinet inserts...relaxed and then went to Oakville to visit some new clients....TGIF....Hope you have a great weekend...

This weekend at the studio..a little cold glass work and some hot glass too...

This weekend was busy...well I feel like I live at the studio lately...  Saturday morning started really early...my friend Frances dropped in and I introduced her to the kiln...she made herself a little tile...not bad for a newbee ...  I continued working on the Ottawa project..finished a few door inserts and started the layout for the final transom panels...

Today my mom came out to help...being a "glasser" also..she completed some overlay kitchen cabinet panels for me...she was a great help and nice company...  At home my dad was making our supper...I love it when my parents are in town...  :)

Her are some shots of the work completed this weekend...Have a great week!

This week..a lot of door lites...

www.glassworksstudio.ca
This week the door lites were completed for the Oakville Project.  There were a total of 5....3 were done GNA with the bevels and the others were built in German Cathedral. Very nice.

Today I completed the drawings for the Ottawa project...well I completed the details for the transom ...so hopefully Andrea can start this weekend...and then next week there is a total of 8 doorlites and four transoms being shipped...

This weeks hint for glassers...if you are using zinc for the perimeter of your panels...clean it with paint thinner before applying your black patina to make your finish nice and dark.

Have a great weekend!

Going on an adventure this week... :)

Have I told you that I love what I do...lately??? :)

This week I am working on door lites for an Oakville site.  All are the same design style...symmetrical, linear...classic and strong...in 3 of the doors GNA is dominant ....lower level of the house where privacy is not required...upper level doors will be made of Wissmach Corrella Classic....Nice!  Of course multi-faceted bevels and pencil bevels are almost part of everything I do...."My Bling"  These doors will be installed Wednesday...

Thursday I am off to Barrie and then Horseshoe Valley for 2 sites...Imagine me working on glass for a "Guinness Pub"....a little slice of heaven for me....

So here is a pic of this weeks work so far (patina and polish have not been done yet-these are oh natural still- and yes it is only Monday....As you may notice painting elves have also been working hard at the studio...painting out all the beautiful trim done by Victoria Strong Manufacturing Company....Looks great!

2012 starts in the kitchen..."Rennie inspired cabinet inserts"

Well....Because I have not said it yet..."Happy New Year."

I have many goals this year...some deal with glass...business expansion...and some change...I have lots to do and it is going to be an exciting year...I have a good feeling....

So last week and this week were pretty hectic..These "Rennie" inspired cabinet inserts were completed and installed on site in Oakville... as were 6 others for another Oakville project.  On the cutting tables now are 5 interior door lites also for Oakville...  More panels for the new showroom next door were finally completed...Classic and traditional..with fifty (5 x 7) bevels that were all bordered by striking Red Flemish by Wissmach. VERY VERY NICE..


Here are my Rennie Inserts...





So  I hope everyone had a great holiday..now back to work...   :-)
