People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Handmade in my tiny Montana glass studio
Each piece is created using the Louis Comfort Tiffany stained glass method.
After drawing the design, I choose my colors
and transfer the design onto glass.
I hand cut each piece, grind the edges smooth, bathe, dry & wrap them in copper foil.
Next, I assemble the pieces and solder the edges using lead-tin solder.
I apply patina onto the solder to add a deep, rich color and then polish each piece for protection and shine.
Considering the nature of materials &
that each piece is completely handmade, there will be minor variations in shape and color.
It’s not due to lack of care, it’s part of the process that makes your piece unique and special!
Care Instructions
I’m fragile - Please handle with care!
When hanging, use nail or hook and run into a wooden window frame, wall, or ceiling. Suction cups are not recommended for larger pieces.
To keep me shiny on a daily basis, gently buff me with a soft cloth.
For a deeper clean or to remove fingerprints, use distilled water or an ammonia-free glass cleaner with a soft cloth.
Solder contains lead. Please wash your hands after manipulating me and keep out of reach of children and pets.
SHIPPING
Each item is carefully & thoroughly wrapped for protection. Your item will be shipped via USPS within three business days.
RETURNS
I will work with you on any issues.
