Well its that time of year again... I'm getting the urge to redesign my environment. Those that have known me long enough to see my home, know that it is constantly changing both with the years and the seasons. I like to walk into a room and be interested by it by both colour and design. Folks shook their heads in disbelief when I said I was painting my bedroom in midnight blue (with accents of sand and white)... looks awesome (mind you the massive brass bed is an stunning centre-piece, lol) I like contrasts, jewel tones, silks and stone. Last Fall I did my livingroom... I went to the earth for this one, sage & dark moss green, stone textures, lots of plant-life and dark velvet pillows... I like it alot, however one thing remains undone... The Window(s). I have this massive expanse of glass that opens onto a wide unobstructed eastern horizon. lol... in fact, summer mornings, you'd do well to keep your sunglasses by your bed in order to pass through the blaze of light those windows let in... I'm over 100 feet off the ground with only glass and blue sky between me and the sun...
The window is 8 feet wide by 5 feet, with 4 smaller windows 2 by 2. I want to design a stain-glass pattern for the top two panels. Something pagan, something spiritual, something geometeric ... something that will come alive when the sun rises. Now keep in mind that I will not be working with glass (my budget won't allow it), instead I have found a substance that is kind of flexible plastic film in the most remarkable colours (deep and rich) along with it comes a kind of fake leading ( lol, sorry Imbas if all this makes your craftsmen heart cringe) but it is a material I can work with and maybe do things one couldn't with glass ... ANYways, I want to use blues, greens and golds, but I am at a loss for design ideas and thought I'd see if anyone in here might have some ideas or notions that will spark the creative genius that has to live here, lol
On a side note, there is a 6 inch shelf the runs the length of the window, I'm considering a mini herb garden for it (or part of it)
Looking forward to hearing from you,
