A must-read book. Timeless. Published in 1950, and still, if not more, relevant to this day The more we crave security, the more insecure we become. That is because nature is fluid, it’s ever changing. To want security, is to want permanence, fixed, static, which is is to work against the very nature of life #gm #grownostr #bookstr #book #philosophy

#asknostr, where the artists, craftsman, builders at here?

Pretttyyy fired up with how this window is coming together I really focused on texture work here to create layers in the window so that certain elements and colours pop more, while giving the window some breathing room You can see certain colours coming to the ‘front’ of the canvas due to more light reflecting from the texture, like the teal, gold and red. While you see the clear glass almost in the background due to it having a smooth surface I feel like this piece, and the intention I put into it, is a real level up in terms of craftsmanship #gn #grownostr #art #artstr #build #buildstr

#asknostr, how does one who works for themself, shut their brain off of work? I love what I do, but I find it extremely difficult to separate

60-seconds showing the creative process for these matching Art Deco-inspired windows I made for a local homeowner #gn #grownostr #art #artstr #build #buildstr

Ending 2025 on a solid note with this installation Got these windows installed right before a holiday party the homeowners were hosting, so they eere excited to show off the new windows to their family and friends Type of stuff that makes me more connected to my work. More grounded. Can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store, the year of the horse! 🐎 #gn #grownostr #artstr #art #build #buildstr #stainedglass

The twins have been soldered. Next up is the cementing process 🗿 I’ve never created a window with this kind of art deco design but I’m enjoying how it’s coming together What are your thoughts on this style? #gm #grownostr #art #build #artstr

Lately I’ve been looking at trees as hair follicles and humans as little mites living among them. It makes me feel a lot smaller and helps me take things a little less seriously #gn #grownostr

Next up is restoring this beautiful 34x28 leaded window from the early 1900s A few cracked pieces and broken joints caused the window to bend and let in drafts during the hot and cold months of the year #gn #grownostr #art #artstr #build
