Christmas in Idaho - Stained glass

During the design stage of our book Christmas in Idaho, author and artist Ray Downing wanted to create a special illustration that would introduce every chapter.

We imagined it to be like a window into what the reader was about to find. We also wanted this window to echo the colors of the main chapter illustration on the facing page. This would make the visual transition from one page to the next all the more smooth and engaging.

After trying different concepts, we came up with the idea of a circular stained glass window.

That’s when the real fun began - designing each of the windows and finding the perfect colors, vibrant and beautiful, that would let the “light” shine through.

💠 Stained glass is such a lovely effect!
