"Peace Kanji" Tray

"Peace Kanji" Tray

"Peace Kanji" Tray is a warm ivory fused glass tray encased with a wonderful textured irridized glass.
The irrid effect doesn't photograph well (looks silvery in the detail photo) but it has a rainbow effect that makes this piece POP beautifully!
"Kanji" is a Japanese symbol that mean "Peace".
The graphics have been hand-painted in glass powder, which is a meticulous process, but so worth the effort.
"Peace Kanji" measures 16 x 12 inches and is for sale at The Upstairs Art Gallery, Healdsburg, Ca.

Sunhawk Window

Sunhawk Window

Featured in Natural Home Magazine (Nov/Dec 2004), the Sun Hawk House is a solar powered wonder built by John Schaeffer and his wife Nancy Hensley, founders of Real Goods Solar Living Institute in Hopland, CA. I constructed the window in the Sun Hawk's front door.
A little note...there are 144 pieces in the tail feathers (center of the window), after that, I lost count! This window measures 38" x 27".
