One of my previous projects was to replace the top two panels in a large window with new ones, which complemented the design and used more pleasing glass. I always quite liked the bottom panels and decided to incorporate part of that design in a new window, just for fun.<\/p>\n

Have a look at the Landing Window project<\/a> from the Traditional menu above and you’ll see the leaf design in the two bottom panels, lower down the page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
This is the portion of the landing window that I wanted to capture and reproduce in the new window.<\/p>\n

Quite nicely shaped leaves. Texture and colours I quite liked, too.<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I didn’t want the new piece to be merely a reproduction of the original so I added the ivy trailing up the right hand side. This became the focus of the entire piece and I tried to capture that distinctive ivy-leaf shape, which I really like.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\"ivy2\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Here we are, after the glass has been cut. Already I could see that the window was going to work well.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\"ivy3\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is the final piece. Not mounted but up against the studio window with the garden behind.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\"ivy4\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The wall in the cabin where the window is going to go.<\/p>\n

So, now all I had to do was cut a hole in the wall and insert the window. Add a very simple and coarse traditional Swedish-style wooden frame and we have another ticked box.<\/td>\n

Here’s how it looks completed.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\"ivy6\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I like it very much.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\"ivy7\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Update. I decided to put a hatch over the window so that when we sleep in the cabin we can reduce the glare from the morning sun.<\/p>\n

Made from the pieces of shiplap that I cut out to make the window. Took about 15 minutes to make and looks great.<\/td>\n
