Installation..."swoon!"

If you follow me on social media, you might have seen a post about these windows a few weeks ago. I had taken a photo of them inside my studio after I finished putting all the glass into the steel frames. In one photo, I stood next to them for scale which looked pretty funny since I am 5’2” and they are 8’ tall. On social media, I received a lot of nice comments about them. Shortly after that, the homeowners installed them and sent me this photo and two others with the comment, “Swoon!” That made my day because no matter how much I like something, how nice it looks in my studio, or how many other people like it on social media, the thing that matters most is how my customer thinks it looks in their home. One of the other photos they sent— which you can see on my Facebook or Instagram— was taken at night and the colors look so surreal. I love that they were playing around with lighting and exploring all the different ways they could experience their windows. This photo shows how they appear on a bright, sunny Spring day. One of the things I like the most about glass is how much it changes depending on lighting. If you are enjoying a nice cold beer at Fonta Flora or sitting on the front porch of the Fairfield Inn, take a look at the house across the street and see how the light at that particular moment makes them appear.
