The Art Glass Frame
4/20/2025
The use of a
frame provides structural integrity to your
glass.
Glass is physically strengthened and optically defined by the
frame.
Your frame must always look as good on the backside as it
does on the front.
Wood
I have wrapped lots of glass
with wood.
Wood compliments glass by adding strength and a finished
look to the project.
Exotic woods can compliment the theme of the design.
Copper
Copper tubing frames are
unique.
They accommodate projects of any size and are easy to carry.
Vertically or horizontally they are easy to hang.
The copper frame is weather resistant and tarnishes
beautifully.
Steel
The steel rod frame is a
natural progression for me.
It is strong, thin, can be easily painted and is
contemporary.
There are exciting possibilities with the steel rod frame.

| WYNKEN, BLYKEN, AND NOD
Eugene
Field
WYNKEN, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe ---
Sailed on a river of crystal
light
Into a sea of dew.
“Where are you going, and
what do you wish?”
The old moon asked of the three.
“We have come to fish for the
herring fish
That live in this
beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!”
Said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
The
Old moon laughed and sang
a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe.
And the wind that sped them
all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew.
The little stars were the
herring fish
That lived in that beautiful sea ---
“Now cast your nets wherever
you wish ---
Never afeard are we!”
So cried the stars to the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

All night long their nets
they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam---
Then down from the skies came
the wooden shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home;
‘Twas all so pretty a sail it
seemed
As if it could not be,
And some folks thought ‘twas
a dream they dreamed
Of sailing that beautiful sea---
But I shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blyken
And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two
little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that
sailed the skies
Is a wee one’s trundle bed.
So shut your eyes while
mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the
beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea
Where the shoe rocked the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
