New Stained Glass

New Stained GlassThis is something we’ve talked about doing for a long time… they are small hanging stained glass panels that are distinctly antique in style. We have three of them now hanging in a store down the road called “The Red Barn”.

I love the style that was occuring about 100 years ago in America. Of course there was a lot of diversity in that, and you can look at it as a blend of things like early deco, nouveau, prairy, etc. but really I find it quite recognizable as it’s own thing.

There is more to read here about my booth building efforts in the “Sandblast booth Saga”, my on-going remembrances of all I’ve been through in my pursuit for the perfect booth. Read More Here

A View From Within

Sandblast booth building techniquesI’ve been working on a small walk-in booth down at Chuck’s Studio. Although it’s much smaller than most of the others I’ve built, it’s turning out to be one of my favorites.

I’ll be describing some of it’s attributes soon in “The Sandblast Booth Saga”, but I’ve put together a slideshow of the latest addition, which is the cover box for the view hole.

Lincoln

Lincoln etchedThis latest etching is composed of 12 stages. It’s the face of Abraham Lincoln obviously, and is based off of Alexander Gardener’s amazing photo which I love very much for it’s shallow depth of field. From here I’m going for a 20 stage image – I haven’t yet decided on whose face to do. I’m also anxious to get beyond just the face, so I think it’s time for a full body composition.

Click on the image to see the comparison between 9 and 12 stages.
