Siobhán creating a design for the Honolulu Star Advertiser
A design fee based on the scope of the project is required prior to the creation of one-of-a-kind designs. Pricing of the actual artwork is based on size, complexity of design and quality of materials.
After gathering your design criteria, several alternatives are created to choose from. A copy of a hand drawn and colored design as well as glass samples are provided for your consideration.
I can either work towards a specific budget or create a proposal with a range of options.
One of the things that makes my work unique is my attention to detail. I sometimes use a technique developed by Louis Comfort Tiffany. This technique employs layers of opalescent and transparent glass to create details and color variations. Rather than painting the glass, much of the detail is provided by variations and textures in the glass. Only the fine details of the faces and hands are painted.
The glass is hand selected specifically for each stained glass window or ceiling to ensure that each window is made from the best materials. There is a wide variety of domestic and imported art glass available.
