Danielle's Stained Glass Portfolio

2006-2007

Danielle started working with stained glass in 2006. Two of her early works are shown below.

While our house was being constructed, Danielle worked on some stained glass panels for the house. She completed a major one for the master bath. This shows two smaller, simpler panels that are hung in the windows in the master bedroom above our bed. Panels for over the kitchen cupboards had to wait until the house was complete so we could get accurate measurements.

Some Early Pieces

Her first panel This was Danielle's first panel. We enjoyed it in our front window of our old home before we moved. It is now in a dining room window. The picture was taken through our front window so you can see the fence, grass, and trees through the clear beveled sections of the window.
This is another of her early pieces. It is a Calla Lily. Cally Lily

Danielle created this piece for a neighbor who really liked roosters. This was her first design work.

Stained Glass for our New Home

Stained Glass 0417/07 The first set of pictures show some panels she made for some small windows above our bed in the master bedroom

We didn't start taking pictures until she already had cut the glass. She had laid out the pieces before adding the zinc framing.

She was working on the kitchen table of our old home because her "glass shop" was full of boxes that we used to pack things for the move.
Stained glass04/16/07 She had installed the zinc framing but had not begun soldering yet. No wonder she likes making stained glass. They use horseshoe nails to hold things in place as the panel is built.
Stained glass for Bedroom 04/16/07 Completed panel. Temporarily it was in the front window of our old home so the light could shine through it. That accounts for the dark frame in the center of the picture.
Master Bedroom These panels were installed in the master bedroom of the new house above the bed.

Danielle took this picture of her most significant work so far. This is her own design. She thought every garden tub have a garden. It was completed before we moved and it is shown here before being installed. It is about 3 feet wide. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures of its being constructed. Panel for master bath

The panels were designed to complement the shades on the hanging pendant lamps. They match chandeliers in the dining room and rear foyer and floor lamps in the great room. The lamps have actual Tiffany glass but were built by another company.
