Stained Glass – A Forever Gift
Every year, almost everyone has to buy a present for that special person on their list that seems impossible to buy for…..you know……the one that already has everything! With Christmas upon us you say to yourself; what shall I buy?
Consider one of our many stained glass gift items. We offer a wide selection of stained glass stepping stones for you garden. Perhaps, you could start a collection of stones, each with a different family members name or grandchild’s name added to personalize their outdoor space or walkway to their favorite outdoor sitting area.
Another great idea are our pet portraits. All we need are a few good pictures of their beloved cat or dog and you can give the hard to buy for person on your list a gift that will delight them for years! If this isn’t in your budget, consider one of our clocks, suncatchers, or book-ends .These look absolutely amazing on a bookshelves or side tables. Also, you can select from one of many style panels including traditional, contemporary, southwestern or art deco/nouveau to suit their particular decor. Or perhaps, they already have some sort of collection and you want to add something great to it. Our custom designed stained glass pieces are sure to please!
Another fantastic option for an extra special gift would be custom stained glass windows inserted into cabinet door fronts. I made one for my mother-in-law for the small cabinet over her stove and years later, almost every time I talk to her she tells me how amazed her friends are when they see it. It became to focal point in her kitchen and now she has coordinated all of her linens and dinnerware to match it. So men, listen up! Give the special lady in your life a gift that truly keeps on giving……something shell never forget and something that will remind her of you each and every time she looks at it.

Tragedy Inspired Art

Pink tulips in vase
After watching the terrible events unfold for the last couple of days beginning at the Boston Marathon and ending with the eventual capture of the suspect holed-out in the hull of a boat I was struck by how intertwined all our lives are. Each and every one of us are connected in some form or fashion whether we like it or not. I will not venture further into that line of thought however since this piece is supposed to be about art glass.
I recently viewed a request from a lady who wanted a custom pink & white urn made to keep the ashes of her 13 yr old daughter who had recently died. Pink was her daughter’s favorite color and she wanted it in the shape of a heart. I was so moved and inspired by her story I felt absolutely compelled to design a piece of stained glass with this theme in mind.
The resulting stained glass design is a vase of pink tulips. To me the vase with the heart symbolizes the unity and foundation of family. It is the structure that ties families together. Each flower in the vase represents different branches of the family while each flower symbolizes one single family. Each petal in that flower symbolizes each individual in that family. Some flowers will have 3-4 petals (family members) while others will have 5-6 petals (family members). In my design you will see a single petal that has fallen. This represents the lost daughter.
I honestly can’t say for sure where all this came from inside me. I felt, compelled, if you will, to do something even though I am quite busy and really didn’t have time for it. Perhaps because of the emotions that were traveling throughout the country I was emotionally inspired to create. The story moved me and so now this stained glass design exists because of it.
