Here is my first completed window. These shots are all at different angles to show how the colors in the dichroic glass shift as your angle shifts. The side that has the sun shining directly on it has a colored reflective surface. During the day we will see the transmittted color while people outside see the reflected color. At night when our lights are on and it's dark outside people outside will see the transmitted color and we will see the reflected color in the house.
The window is filthy from the flux and patina. I'll be taking it out to the glass studio where it will take at least 1/2 an hour with a toothbrush and little pointy sticks to get the window clean.
The next step is to insulate and seal it between two pieces of tempered glass. Then it will be ready to install in the sidelight.
On to the next one!

That is really cool. And even more special knowing you did it! I really like the design. Very nice. I can't wait to see them installed. You will have to let us know when that happens. :D
