This was a self indulgent project.

 

I wanted a porthole window in my house so I built a panel to fit a wooden frame I purchased online.

 

The dimensions were fixed and for the design I chose Art Nouveau as my inspiration.

 

This panel kind of evolved on the work bench as I could change lines, lead thickness, colours, patterns and textures to please myself.

 

I have spent a lot of time in Glasgow over the years and some visitors to my site may see a Charles Rennie Macintosh influence here.

 

The final result, seen in the bottom photograph and then photographed in situ for my logo design, is a very striking piece of work and gets a lot of compliments.  

 

It combines some clashing, contrasting, modern and salvaged glass, not everyone's choice but it gives me a lot of pleasure and satisfaction.
