When I started beveling, the only historical design influence I could find was traditional. For years, I worked within these parameters, beveling miles of 1/2-inch bevels on 1/4-inch glass.

Boredom began to take its toll. Looking around for other glass to bevel, l remembered one of my suppliers had colored glass in 1/4-inch sheets for storefront applications.

This is one of my first windows in color. It was for a couple here, Bremo Bluff, who “liked me and my work.”

I haven’t used colored bevels much, but like many of my experiments, it is there if the need arises.
