Spring & Autumn - Contemporary Stained Glass Door Panels









Lovely to see the windows in-situe today with the sunlight streaming through them.

The doors lead to two girls' bedrooms - the elder daughter was born in October and the younger daughter has a May birthday - hence the Autumn/Spring theme.

We discussed various options for the subject matter and in the end Lisa chose a couple of my existing designs which would be worked into full size panels.

I wanted the windows to look a bit like picture book illustrations (both girls had already chosen Quentin Blake fabric for their curtains) and the colours tie-in with those in the rooms.

You can just about see how amazing the views from the bedrooms are - across the rolling fields and out to sea.  While I was there today, the colour of the sea flitted from turquoise to green to grey to indigo as the weather changed from sunshine to storms.  Stunning.
