A family crest (Acheson) done for a dentist in Round Rock. This one took a lot of very small pieces. It's mounted above the front door.

 

A large transom for a house here in central Texas. We tried to make the parrot as close as possible to the client's real parrot.

 

Two of three Texas Longhorn style cabinet doors.

 

A portrait of two boston terriers that was commissioned as a gift.

 

A transom window done with a lattice design to obscure dividers in the existing window which was left in place. I also did a set of 8 cabinet windows for the same client. I've been unable to get a decent picture of them yet, but will put one up here when I do.

 

An octagon that I sent for a house in Maryland. Another example that simple can really be elegant. The field glass is actually a heavily textured clear, but that didn't really come out in the picture.

 

A picture of the window in place.

 

A celtic knot pattern with either dragons or horses I'm not sure which. This 20" x 20" panel was done for Things Celtic. The dragons/horses are GNA, the field is a streaky spectrum, and the border is from a sheet of Freemont full antique that I've had sitting around for quite a while.

 

A Green Man for a local store: Things Celtic.

 

This panel was pretty much straight out of a book.

 

A sun and moon pair of panels with sandblasted and painted features. They are each 15" x 15".

 

The kitchen cabinet windows at the Carls. There are seven cabinets total, and there is a continous line that runs through them, with leaves and butterflies coming off of the line.

 

 

The Calla Lilly window in the Carls' bathroom. I used three kinds of iridescent white for the flowers.

 

 

A bathroom mirror for the Carls. It sits on a wall adjacent to the window above, and echoes the lillies. The pink is a true antique with mirror cut to the pattern back behind it.

I also did a larger blue framed mirror for the master bath, but couldn't get a very good picture of it.

 

 

A pair of window valances I made for my parents new kitchen. They sit in oak frames and are backlit.

 

 

This is the smallest permanent installation window I've ever done. It is only 5"x10". It is in the front door of a wonderfully kind older man in Midland ,TX. It was in shipping this piece that I learned to use UPS rather than the USPS!

 
 

 

 

This is the new picture of the piece I traded for a motorcycle. It was a free-standing piece, but I put it in a ring (incorporating the log that was the base) because I was afraid to take the piece to any shows. I was always afraid it would blow over in the wind and break. the piece is now about 26" in diameter.

 
 

 

 

A free-standing piece I made in1992 for a man in Victoria, TX who was going to a big reunion in Montana. The design was based on a Charles Schultz drawing for the reunion. The panel is approx. 12" x 8" and is mounted in a block of oak.

 
 

 

 

A panel with shells. I made this one for a lady in Houston, who had one of the greatest reactions on seeing the piece of anyone I've ever made anything for. It is 17" x 5" and the background is Uruboros 'noogie'.

 
 

 

 

One of the few patterns I've ever done that was pretty much straight from a stock commercial pattern. It was fun anyway. the pink Spectrum streaky really worked well in this panel of tulips. It was purchased as a Christmas present. Those are always my favorite to sell. The panel is 15" x 15" and framed in oak (the frame didn't come out in the picture I took, so I Photoshopped it out here.)

 
 

 

 

A free hanging panel I made in the fall of '96. It was the first thing I made after breaking my arm and not being able to work for 4 months. I used a blue baroque glass for the background, and lots of streakies for the hummingbirds and flowers.

 

 

 

A small (9 x 13 inch) rose panel that was commisioned for a birthday present.

 

 

This window I did as a house-warming gift for some friends of mine who live just down the road from Willie Nelson. Maynard and I golf at Willie's course on a regular basis. Check out Maynard's Web Site! This window is 15" wide by 34" high. Maynard and LaDonna used to live in Florida, so that's the basic theme.

 

 

 

The second window I finished for Maynard and Ladonna. This one's more of a "Texas" theme.

 

 

 

A horse for my Cousin Michelle's new house. . . it's about 14 inches across.
