Lord Terry - Stained Glass Window - Dean's Stained Glass

"Lord Terry" stained glass window was custom built for a magnificient waterfront home in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Terry, the owner of this home, is an avid sailor and wanted a design to reflect his passion for sailing, so he actively participated in the design of his window. The Gaff Rigged Schooner depicted is patterned after "Lord Jim", a famous schooner in the early 1900's. The rope, the mariner's compass, and the corner Victorian shell design elements give this window a bold nautical theme as well as a Victorian seaside flavor. This was the first time I have used glass to make a rope border. Just the rope itself is 76 pieces of glass. The four round corner blue pieces are actually molded glass smiling moon faces. The outside row of clear bevels creates the effect of a "picture in a picture" and the bevels create rainbow colors in the sunlight. Lord Terry measures 45 3/4" x 45 3/4", contains 280 pieces of glass and was completed in March, 2006.
