- ###  [ Seals Swimming in a Kelp Forest | Etched Glass Sidelights ](https://artglassandmetal.com/latest-works/seals-swimming-in-a-kelp-forest-etched-glass-sidelights)

     [ ![Seals Swimming in a Kelp Forest](https://artglassandmetal.com/images/latest-works/seal-sidelights-intro.jpg) ](https://artglassandmetal.com/latest-works/seals-swimming-in-a-kelp-forest-etched-glass-sidelights) ### I was recently commissioned to create a pair of custom etched glass sidelights that I titled "Seals Swimming in a Kelp Forest”.

    I designed and created these etched glass side lights for a coastal home in San Diego. I used subtle etched shading techniques to give intricate detail to these sea life forms for this beautiful entryway project.

    The home owners felt that privacy was not an issue in this location, so the etched glass images on clear glass allow plenty of light into the home while providing nice views of the large front yard.
