Sunnybrook Farm Museum – Willowdale Church Gladious Windows

Filed under Church Windows, Uncategorized, Windows by on February 19, 2024 at 5:30 pm {one comment}

We started the 6 originial church window restorations with the 2 Gladious Windows. After removing the old zinc frames they both needed much cleaning using Kwik Clean and then polished with Clarity along with new 3/4 inch zinc frames. It took some time with our came bender to get the cathedral top portion bent correctly to fit exactly to the glass window.

One had a cracked piece of background glass on the bottom right and we simply foiled and soldered that piece together as we were unable to obtain matching replacement glass.

All of the windows measured approximately 26 inches wide by 57 inches high catherdral shaped. We had to be very careful not to remove or destroy the etchings on the bottom left hand side, during the restoration process.

Both of these windows were then installed in their original locations in the front of the church by one of their very experienced craftsman employed by Shunda Consulting Construction & Management Ltd.

We were asked by a friend who belongs to The Order of The Eastern Star, to make this Celtic Cross as a gift for the incoming Worthy Grand Matron. It measured approximately 7 inches wide by 10.5 inches high and was symbolic of the WGM’s emblems.  We use black cathedral glass with clear granite for the Celtic knots.

About 13 years ago we made this Universal Energy Panel for a Reiki Master in Southern Alberta. The panel measured 20 inches high x 12 inches wide. We used a granite light purple Kokomo (no longer in production) along with Glue Chip surrounding the symbol, complete with a 1/2 Zinc Came Frame.

Lake Sunset – Donation

Filed under Canadiana, Gifts, Panels, Sun Catchers, Uncategorized by on July 24, 2013 at 6:30 am {no comments}

We were asked if we would donate a piece of our work to The Central Alberta Constituencies – Wildrose – Classic – Golf – Tournament held on July 18, 2013 at Alberta Springs Golf Course located near Red Deer Alberta as a silent auction fun raising item.

We made this oval piece highlighted with Spectrum’s Pearl Opal Blue Yonder for the water, along with their Thunderhead for mountains and Inferno for the sunset sky. For the tree we used Uroboros Heringbone Granite Ripple with a Kokomo green amber surrounding the water.  As the golf course is located close to Sylvan Lake we called this “Lake Sunset”
