Painting Upright Glass

adding color to an etched glass doorI’ve been putting color on sandblasted glass for a long time, but this was the first time I ever had to do it with the glass in the vertical. I wasn’t even sure it was possible, and did quite a bit of experimentation and then practice and preparation.

All went well and I managed to get a few pictures of the work in progress which took place in an uncommonly beautiful dentist office – Trust me, you have never seen a dentist office like Aadland Dental in Vancouver – absolutely stunning! It features stained glass windows by Chuck Franklin Glass Studio. (Click the image for a small slideshow).

On a completely unrelated note, some parts of the website are disjointed right now, especially for users of “internet explorer”… sorry about that. We are doing some re-organizing and adding a couple of new features. It should only take a few days hopefully to iron out the wrinkles. We want to make it clearer to people all the different things we do, and also to consolidate the different mediums into a more comprehensive form – so each one is now going to have its own page. The words you can see in the white box up in the header will be actual links when we’re all done.
