Simply Stained Glass Designs

DESIGNS These are just a few designs for panels and windows that have either been made to commission or created but discarded along the way. Hopefully they show the wide range of subject matter that can be turned into beautiful stained glass. CLICK ON AN IMAGE TO SEE IT AT A LARGER SIZE
	An Arts and Crafts inspired design for a transom.
An Art Nouveau design, suitable for door or window in any home from the Edwardian period onwards!
	A contemporary twist on an Art Nouveau design
The Green Man. A slightly more contemporary version of the age old image. This design if for a window 2m high and 800mm wide.
	Good enough to eat? Choose your flavours of ice cream and jelly and well add the cakes!
A fan-light transom made using a variety of glasses from Spectrum, Bullseye and Uroboros.
	A fairly simple design for an internal transom. The design is based on a 1930's reproduction rug.
Yes it's a Peacock. In fact it was two Peacocks, both of which went into a bespoke screen. Made from a selection or Uroboros and Dynasty glasses. The tail in particular is made from a Ripple and Granite glass. These glasses help to give the impression of feathering.
	An art Nouveau inspired Transom and Front Door Panels. Here the glasses depicted are Iridised clear from Bullseye and Granite glasses from Uroboros.
Designed to go in a Georgian fanlight.
	Two Kingfishers in a tree. You can imagine them watching for a fish before darting down to catch it!
An art deco design for a front door. In fact a pair of front doors that lead to another pair of precisely the same design.
	This design was taken from an Art Deco building in Greenwich, south east London. The columns that surrounded the windows (on the shop front) had these fantastic stylised elephant heads as their capitals.
Based very closely on an Alphonse Mucha picture to be set in a door as depicted.
	Inspired by the work of the Russian artist Kandinsky.
A small panel (12" x 12"0 for a front door, depicting the home owners' origins.
	Here's another transom and door panels. These were designed to go with four internal transoms. The design uses only English Muffle glass and roundels. Although the design is original it takes its style from an authentic Victorian window situated elsewhere in the building where these were installed. The colour of the actual glass used is much less vivid than the design shows.
A Bathroom window perhaps? Clown fish in varying colours to suit your piscatorial requirements.
This is the final design for the pink garland window above. Totally different now from the original design! It was made from green and colourless English Muffle and a pink Spectrum Opalescent glass. The construction was lead cames, 12mm for the border and 5mm for the internal cames and although the lead is quite dominant in the design it did not detract from the overall picture.
	This is a copper foiled and leaded window approximately 1 metre tall. Somewhat in the style of Louis Comfort Tiffany, it uses Spectrum, Desag and English Muffle glasses. The window has a diamond crossed ground constructed with lead cames to give a 'Tromp L'Oreal' effect where the irises appear to be standing in front of a stained glass window; as they were pieced together using the more delicate copper foil technique.
Inspired by a painting by Matisse, this skylight design is constructed using the copper foil method with strengthening in the uprights. When fitted the window will be backed with float glass for extra protecting from the elements (seagulls).
Two 1960's inspired designs. Although stained glass was used very little during the 1960s and 1970s there is no reason why those decade's designs cannot translate into stained glass windows, panels or screens.
