Home HOW IT WORKS

Initially
Every job begins with an e-mail conversation. You give me ideas about what you want, maybe supplimenting words with pictures or web addresses. I will ask questions about sizes, subject matter. During a few question and answer sessions a draft will slowly take shape, becoming more complete as the conversation progresses.

I can't make you happy with your design without this exchange. And you can't get to the point where you will feel confident and pleased to pay for the result. Money doesn't move until the design is ready.

After the Design Phase
Now, the design is done and if we haven't discussed it yet, the money issue must be resolved. I will have an electronic money exchange mechanism installed on this site very soon: PayPal. It's a trusted and common feature of many online stores. After the notification e-mail from PayPal has been received, I will ship the finished pattern, usually in a mail-tube. I will include two copies: one to build on and one to use for templates where necessary. If the final design is large I will also include two smaller versions: one to be a master copy for piece numbering and one to play with the colour scheme. Patterns will take into account zinc around the outside if necessary and a line size of 2pt will be used for copper foil work or 4pt for leaded work.

After the Stained Glass Work is done
I would love to feature your work on my site in the Gallery. If you want to be contacted about your piece or your services, I will include a link to e-mail you directly. If not, you will remain anonymous. The pattern will not be published in the gallery if you do not wish but you should let me know this explicitly. In any case the pattern will not be published in a way that it would be easily copied and of course it will not be resold as is.
