Joints have been soldered, and the panel cemented Now we wait a few days for the cement to harden before a final clean and polish In the meantime I’ll be restoring the wooden frame for this window, and adding in clear pane of glass to double insulate for when the stained glass is installed #gm #grownostr #art #artstr #build #craft

Block by block, slowly bringing this 100 year old window back to life #gm #grownostr #art #artstr #craft #proofofwork #restoration

Little stencil 🤝 big stencil This was a sketch I drew under a year ago, before I picked up a single tool for this craft Now I’m bringing it to life for my client 🙌🏻 #gm #grownostr #artstr #art #craft

I think film photography is the best starting point for anyone wanting to flex their creative muscles more With film you have a limited amount of shots so you have to be extremely selective It moves you back into the analog world momentarily to let you silence your mind more and be intensely present It also helps show patterns of certain things in which you find meditative and enjoyable to look at. A little bit of self discovery Would highly recommend to those folks who say they ‘have no creativity’ because that’s just simply not true! #gm #nostr #film #photography #creativity

I can’t help but question sometimes if I’m on the right path, spending my time the right way.. But on those days like today, the feeling I get when I see my work standing in the wild, is when all of those doubts are silenced #gm #nostr #art #craft #artstr #build

The thing I love about doing these restorations, is that it’s great practice expanding my capability and mind for different designs and window styles This old window has a full cream background, with small curved intricacies and different sized lead throughout Loving the challenges it’s giving me so far Cheers #gn #grownostr #craft #artstr #art

The weekly clipping of my basil plant gives me enough leaves to have pesto with my eggs for the entire week If you haven’t tried that, you’re missing out! Love starting me day tending to my herbs #gm #nostr #plant #herbs

The most important part of creativity is patience with the process People want to reach their end, desired state so quickly. If is doesn’t come fast or on their first attempt, they’ll give up and admit defeat If you find peace of mind in the activity, be patient and don’t rush #gn #grownostr #creativity

Peanut butter, chocolate, date This is an elite snack I’m telling you #gm #nostr #food

Kicking off a restoration for a 115 year old window today 👴🏻 The window had some cracks in the lead and some broken panels so we’re putting it on the surgery table to make functional and young again #gm #nostr #grownostr #art #build #craft #artstr https://blossom.primal.net/2f0f42122cebfcf3febef376b11a74166d6b209225131606ff106739a9c1d73b.mov

Installed! I love how clean this turned out This window was in an awkward spot in this kitchen and not really giving much appeal, as it was the bathroom when the house was first built The homeowner wanted to bring some character to the vacant window, and create a focal point to decorate around Grateful to kick off their decorating process! #gn #nostr #art #artstr #build #proofofwork

We don’t get too many rainy days where I’m from, so I always appreciate waking up to these sounds #gn #grownostr #nature https://blossom.primal.net/55550b01b0f7cffc4e89a7a940419665da182114cf0feb6fa6a18b3486f3ee6f.mov

Final little polish before the install tomorrow #gn #nostr #art #artstr https://blossom.primal.net/61019a46045ff4d1557e15043fb35b21967fb331e7a2ac8784b9435d2b294b35.mov

Progress on this panel for my clients kitchen that will be installed Tuesday #gn #grownostr #artstr #art #craft https://blossom.primal.net/a009f473ba203a3e387ec8ae1cb66f8a86e31b652135b41b2fcdb38b0e1c8de8.mov

#asknostr My partner and I want to take a side quest to a coastal Spain town in 2026 Does anyone know of any craftsmen who lives in a coastal Spain town that might help create a place for me to work Extremely specific, I know

Something I’ve learned with watching friends start a business and starting one myself, is keep your costs as low as you possibly can when starting out Buying a shit ton of product inventory, commercial equipment, rental space, etc.. can really drown you right off the bat. It adds much more stress to ‘make it work’, and it gives you much less room for patience and play Keep that overhead low as f, give yourself some runway, and then once you’ve passed the market test, take more on Just wanted to share #grownostr #gn #business

Progressed on this one over the last few days The orange and cream contrast feels so vintage to me, I love it My client has a small window in their kitchen that looks at a brick wall, so we’re adding some colours and shapes to put a little more energy into the room Cheers #grownostr #art #artstr #home #build #gn #craft
