:: From The Start ::
Existing Panel existing Panel Suggested Design Element

The customer contacted us initially to enquire as to whether we could produce a stained glass panel based on an existing photo on our own website! (in the About Us section). The brief was stright forward, we had to maintain the design but using a dark purple like in her existing panel for the roses and border and some yellow.

The design developed further by incorporating more colors, more roses and a pot! Normally we would show the design superimposed into the space it which it would end up, however we weren't able to, the customer was having a door especially made for the new panel...how fantastic that it was getting such fabulous treatment.

As our projects progress we like to keep a photo diary. We make this diary availble to the customer so they can see how things are going at any time in the project. We hope this gives the customer a sense on inclusion as the build process can sometimes be several weeks, and as the saying goes 'a picture is worth a thousand words'. This is just a small sample of those photos.

Once the panels are complete we produce a set of large photos so that the panels can be inspected at close quarters. These include close-up of came work and the like so that you can really see the details of the work. We even take a snap of the packaging if we have to custom build it.
