Four Seasons Window
at Lake Tulloch, CA.
5 foot diameter
Please scroll down for pictures.
This client's vision was a window designed to represent the four seasons.
She wanted a Humming Bird and California Poppies to represent Spring.
She felt that a Canoe and a Stream or Lake would represent her family's activities in Summer.
She chose Oak Leaves and Acorns for Fall,
and a Snowflake and Bare Branches for Winter.
The Mountain in the center is a prominent feature of the landscape near her vacation home.
The snowflake was made using a combination of Diamond shaped Jewels, bevels, and art glass.
The sky was made from a continuous piece of Wissmach art glass.
The border represents the Tree of Life, a Pomegranate Tree.
Here in the Spring section of the window you see the blossom which has formed along the newly-budding branches.
The humming bird is an iridescent green.

In the Fall section of the window, the Pomegranate leaves are turning yellow and the fruit is beginning to swell.

I would like to thank the following people for their help in bringing her vision to fruition:
Sean Le and Connie Caldwell for helping to prepare some of the nearly 900 pieces of hand-cut glass,
Josh Moon for a great deal of help with assistance in final framing,
as well as Transportation,
and beautiful Installation of the art work.
Josh can be reached at (831) 246-2792
Two verticle support beams were created to give the window the firmness it would need to keep from bowing from the weight of the glasswork.
I sandwiched a steel rod between 2 H Zinc Cames
and then decoratively soldered them together into 1 super strong unit. This worked very well and the decorative soldering looks wonderfully Organic.
