Progressed on this one over the last few days The orange and cream contrast feels so vintage to me, I love it My client has a small window in their kitchen that looks at a brick wall, so we’re adding some colours and shapes to put a little more energy into the room Cheers #grownostr #art #artstr #home #build #gn #craft

My client send me these pictures of my recent restorations Really bringing colour into the nighttime #gm #grownostr #stainedglass #art #craft

Was invited to visit a restaurant in old downtown to check out some windows needed to be repaired The restaurant was filled with stained glass - these were some of the beauties I came across #gm #grownostr #art #craft #stainedglass

First baseball game of the year was a fun one. Watched a good game, ate a few hot dogs. Not the biggest follower of the sport, but any live event is always a great experience to me #gn #grownostr #sport

Went to scalp tickets last night for a sold out show at one of the biggest music venues in the city. As I stood on my phone about to overpay for a ticket after finding no luck scalping, I was approached by a small group asking if I wanted to join them, no charge Their tickets were front row Might have been the coolest ‘right place right time’ that’s ever happened to me #life #music #people #grownostr

Installed these lil guys today The homeowner had zero art and barely any furniture in his home, so I feel blessed that I get to be apart of starting the creative expression in their home 🙌🏻 #gn #grownostr #art #artstr #stainedglass

Spoke with the pastor of a nearby church regarding the architecture of the building They told me the stained glass windows have been untouched since 1900. Talk about being built to last! That’s why I love this work and why it connects with me as a Bitcoiner. Because it’s all about creating durable, functioning products, built to stand the test of time #grownostr #art #stainedglass #building

A piece of work I finished last month Stopped by yesterday to check out the window with the newly added cream stucco to the homes exterior They compliment each other nicely #grownostr #gm #art #artstr #home #craft

These lil panels are finished and ready for installation The dark glass is actually a burnt orange and red, which will match the bricks of the clients home. Excited to see how it looks Played with some texture and smooth glass in this to make some parts of the pieces to pop more than others #grownostr #gm #art #artstr

So my last post was talking about the timeless cementing process of leaded stained glass windows In this picture you can see the cement mix outside of the crevices and channels I let this mix sit and harden for a few days so this mix seals the panel shut - to become a functioning window that can protect the inside of the home from cold and hot temperatures I then use a pointed tool to scrap along the lead framing so it removes this excess cement mix, so all that’s left is the mix in the channels to harden fully #gn #grownostr #art #stainedglass #artstr

Cemented these guys today! Fun fact, the cementing process for this work (where you create a cement mix and scrub it into the open crevices to seal the window) has been the same since the 14th century! Chalk, oil, alcohol and pigment Timeless! #gn #grownostr #artstr #art

Two lil panels for current commission that will be installed into a front entrance Using two tones of red with a balance of cream and clear glass #grownostr #artstr #gn #art #work

Golfed for the first time in years I fucked up my shoulder in 2019, which took 3 years to recover and I never really returned since Forgot how much I enjoy the sport. The slow pace, the quietness, being out in nature, and the social aspect of it #grownostr #sport #nature #friends
