It’s crazy how unpredictable life can be. You think you know yourself one minute, and the next you’re on a different path, living a completely different life. Then a year goes by and you ask yourself, how the fuck did I get here 1 year ago today, this was my point of view at work. My last day living 2,500 km from home, in a different country, working in the head office of a $300B company Today, this was my point of view at work. A workspace of my own, working for myself, making windows for a local homeowner I think I know myself today, but a year from now, I may be a completely different person. Life is crazy that way #gn #nostr #life #thought

Third of three window restorations in progress #gn #grownostr

Wow, do I ever love this album cover #gn #grownostr

Lately I’ve been looking at trees as hair follicles and humans as little mites living among them. It makes me feel a lot smaller and helps me take things a little less seriously #gn #grownostr

Officially registered myself as a business today 🙌🏻 A level up in sovereignty #gn #grownostr #business

Honestly pretty tacky design not gonna lie, but this is restoration work here, so we do the reps 🫡 #gn #grownostr #stainedglass #artstr

November 2024 vs November 2025 Workspace looking a little different! #gn #grownostr

#asknostr anyone good at creating a site in Wordpress? I’ve had my business site on Wordpress for last 5 months but finding it clunky as hell to make look better - Considering switching to Wix or Squarespace for a better user experience #grownostr

First project in my new workspace Restorations on restorations 😎 #gn #grownostr #artstr

Cemented, cleaned, polished and a steel reinforcement bar added means another window ready for installation #gn #grownostr #art #artstr #build

Found an old CD player on the side of the road. The sound is great on the thing. Might fuck around and finally start collecting some CD albums I like. Good addition to my kitchen 🙌🏻 #gn #nostr

A 60-second video showing the end-to-end creative process for this leaded stained glass window #gn #grownostr #build #art #artstr #zap

Restoring this window slowly but surely. Definitely losing money on this project from all my expenses to fix it up. But still enjoying the process. Re-leaded much of the window and now re-strengthening it with my cement mix #gm #grownostr #art #artstr #build

Went to my first client site today for my window work This club in the downtown of my city has a crazy amount of stained glass windows. Several of which needed to be repaired An enjoyable day. Chatted with the workers at the club/ restaurant, and seeing the look on their face when the windows were fixed was great #gn #grownostr #build #repair #artstr

Not the easiest cut .. managed to pull it off on the first attempt though I actually love how much this glass resembles water. Very relaxing to look at #gm #nostr #grownostr #art #artstr #craft #build

Boy is there always something that derails me with restoration work I cracked a piece of bevelled glass from this window, which is now gonna cost me $200 to get a new custom piece made 😅 I must say, working with a fragile material like glass has given me a lot of practice in keeping my cool when unforeseeable things happen 🧊 Goodnight #gn #grownostr #craft #art #artstr #life

Next up is restoring this beautiful 34x28 leaded window from the early 1900s A few cracked pieces and broken joints caused the window to bend and let in drafts during the hot and cold months of the year #gn #grownostr #art #artstr #build
