Custom Windows
At Blue Moon Studios we can customize window panels for you. We start by taking any pictures, sketches, clippings, and ideas from the customer and make a preliminary pattern with it. We have made custom window from pictures of people as in the church windows, pictures of pets, and even pictures off of greeting cards.
If the customer is satisfied with the design, we will make a full size pattern, otherwise we make changes until the customer is happy. During this early stage we also determine a price range and size of finished piece. The amount of detail and type of glass can be changed to help accomodate a budget. Lastly before we start cutting glass we determine if there are specific colors or textures that the customer would like in the finished window.
The next process is cutting our the pattern and glass, then grinding rough edges off the glass. We currently work in copper foil and traditional leaded tecniques. Finially we assemble the window and glaze (leaded panels), and polish the window.
We can work off of precise measurements from our customers. We usually ask for the exact size of the opening and make the finished piece with a 1/8" tolerance on top and side.
We ship our pieces by ups, but are willing to travel within the state of Washington to install windows. |
