Click on the photos below to see enlarged in a new window - you can leave all three windows open and reduce their size to compare the photo/pattern/design. If you want to see the photo at its largest size make sure that your new window is at its maximum size.

Custom designs must be from crystal clear photos so that the eyes, wrinkles, etc., are clearly visible.....can't do these custom designs at all from blurry photos or ones where the eyes blend in with the black masks. All finished pieces will be framed with zinc came (yes, it is spelled c-a-m-e) and ready to hang in a window. There will be little O rings on the upper corners with chain attached for hanging, or the buyer may opt for a wooden frame at an additional cost.
 

The first stained glass design is less expensive than the enhanced design. This is an example of the same dog, same pattern, but it has been  "fancied up a little"...... the background glass changed,  a border added, and the Mastiff's color has been changed.  There are background options. All priced according to what the buyer wants as far as glass, size, etc. Prices of sheets of stained glass vary greatly.

The whites of the eyes will not be visible in the finished piece....the solder will cover it. The eyes will have some "sparkle" to them that's difficult to see from a photo, but I do use a very reflective glass for the eyes that catches the light. There is a choice of background colors and textures, and I can also add a border in a contrasting glass as I did with the Mastiff profile. The piece can also be customized by adding the dog's name(s)....depending on size and number of letters this will add to the cost.

The Mastiff "supermodel" for this puppy design is my own apricot girl, Bimini when she was a puppy. (Ch.Chatelaine's Someday Bimini Bound) Note the ugly background in the photo. The design shows how I can change that to suit the buyer. I can do solid backgrounds in just about any color, or I can do an "outdoorsy" background, or a dog show theme, such as show ribbons incorporated into the design.....just about anything within reason.  Design ideas will be emailed  to buyers for their final approval.
 

Here is an example of how I can use a photo of a fawn Mastiff and change the dog's color to brindle. (or apricot)  If there is an existing design that you really like, keep in mind that I am able to change the color of the Mastiff design to your dog's color. That includes fawn or apricot brindles, including reverse, different shades of pale to golden fawn, or apricots from pale to deep mahogany.

This design displays a show photo of a stacked fawn female with an unattractive background.  In order to make the finished design more eye appealing, I've edited the existing background to show you how I'm able to adapt it to suit individual needs.  The purple background on this particular design can easily be changed to your personal color preferences.  The "Sage" is also available in apricot or brindle, and show ribbon colors can also be adjusted on any show theme design.

As shown above, larger or smaller versions of most Mastiff or Dane designs are available. Feel free to enquire about special sizing to accommodate your window size and/or your budget.
