Completed . 3rd stained glass in a series of 4. Full POS (Proof Of Sustainability) because of real POW. If one looks closely, one can see the rebars soldered . The floral top was not releaded but was enhanced visually , because of extreme solidity, despite the looks . In the full light it will « disappear « . It’s part of the Conservation dilemma and decisions making process.

Almost there … To be continued…;)

Évaluation Day , this morning . For the ones who now , look at the oval: ripped leads / rebars out of order .

Et voilà! Post 2:

Another splendide technique . Master Perdriau , beginning of the XXth century (pre IKEA and Plastic era …) I was deeply wondering how the colours weee created … Post 1: I am keeping the Mystery for Post 2)…

After partial dismantling of the sg. Painted pieces will be Conserved and protected via patrimonial epoxy or backplated glass (this has been done by a previous craftsman, 25 years ago approximately). I will glue in my case .

Next work on the table … There is a series of sg (stained glass ) that I have been commissioned to Conserve and some to Restore . Often in my trade we have to do a mix of the different philosophy, depending on Historical values / skills of the craftsman / financials . Restoring : if broken pieces , replace if possible & re-lead . Visual becomes more important. Conserving : the most demanding since a vast amount of knowledge & skills most be applied . It follow rules of the SGGA / ICOMOS / Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi (CVMA). History becomes more important than visuals . In a nutshell:))

Finished …for the future Bitcoiners. Now this one should survive another 75 years. Try that with vinyle windows …:)

Another day in Paradise : Light, wood …Stained glass. Have a great day friends of the Hive.

New toys arrived from the world of Pinstripping and Lettering ! Let’s brush the world !

On site work with the next generation - hopefully- until AI robots does it… Those stained glass are protected by the Heritage council. Restoration will be peculiar . This one will be only cleaned.

Why posting on NOSTR? Just like the idea of posting in our Realm. Hopefully showing some stuff that interests some of us . We are Bitcoiners . Yes . But for me it’s a mean to achieve goals and a future way of life. But Stained Glass & Craftsmanship are WHY I am a Bitcoiner . Not dogmatic. Never . Here are some prior restaurations not always done in « dans Les normes de l’Art « that I have now to take care of .

Névé and Éole, craftsmanship being done on my roof … Winter is there .

Helping to save some stained glass is always an honour but maybe more near a beach and palm trees , once in a while !

Restoring / correcting work that have been poorly done in the past , humbles you. Will I be able to make it live again ? Restoration/ creation to its finest is to be humble . Like stacking sats ?

Today’s work… Damn I love my trade.
