C'est la Lune is a fused glass table sculpture and accent light. The central area of raked glass has the swirls and eddies of the ocean with the moon rising above it. A Celtic knot design and the phrase "C'est la lune que j'aime le mieux" (It is the moon I like the best) were hand painted using liquid platinum and firing for permanence. The glass is seated in a wood base with a 4 watt bulb behind it. The piece can be enjoyed with ambient room light or illuminated. The title and phrase come from a story about a mother and daughter who are separated but realize that despite the distance, they both see the same moon. This piece was for a young woman who was preparing to go off to college. The ocean will remind her of her home in Hawaii and the moon will remind her that she is not so far apart from her family after all.
Dimensions: 9" x 7" x 5"

I create custom stained glass windows and fused glass art work with unique designs and handcrafted excellence. My passion for glass germinated in the cathedrals of France, developed roots in Hawai`i and is now branching out in Oregon. Commissioning artwork is very rewarding. The result is a piece of art to which you have a uniquely personal connection. Your involvement in the process can range from a general idea of the design or purpose of the piece to an ongoing conversation as we develop a design that expresses your voice. Your satisfaction is always my primary goal. Finding the perfect gift is time well spent when you give a quality handmade item that brings joy to the person who receives it. In addition to commission work, I create ready-to-purchase boutique items each of which is unique. From fused glass sculptures that bring new energy into a space, fused glass table ware for that special occasion, to personal items for the office and library, or one of a kind jewelry, you'll find your next piece to gift or treasure at Caron Art Glass.

For stained glass for transom window over front doorWhat a wonderful artist Michelle is! After meeting with us initially to better understand what we had in mind for the transom window, she prepared several artist drawings with suggested themes. Every one was a possibility that we could have been pleased with. With her talent it made it difficult to decide. We settled on one, then changed to another, and finally after incorporating elements from more than one, and with further changes and additions we finally settled on what has become a work of art in the 6' wide arched transom window above our 8' front doors. It incorporates elements of the family's heritage with a truly wonderful rondel at it's center.

For Craftsman Custom Fused Glass Tiles For The Kitchen, Bathroom, Or Any Mosaic Tile ProjectMy interactions with Michelle Caron were absolutely fantastic! She was willing to produce exactly what I had in mind and even went out of her way to learn a new technique to accomplish this! She responded to my emails promptly and friendly every time I wrote. The product was more than I could have hope for. Beautifully crafted and I can't wait to see the final kitchen with her tiles as the focus! Thank you so much! Jeanette St George

For Family PortraitMichelle was awesome from start to finish!!! I submitted the photo of my grandparents! With my grandfather recently passing away we wanted something perfect for my grandma as my grandpa did stained glass work. Well Michelle kept me up to speed thru the entire project from the sketch clear to the shipping. Pictures didn’t do it justice my grandma opened it today and she just kept running her fingers across the glass she was speechless it turned out fantastic! We couldn’t be more thankful then to find someone like Michelle to re create our family’s portrait thank you!

For Table Sculpture Of Fused Glass - I Luna, Up AboveThis maker (creator) of my project was wonderful to work with. We had a tight timeline and she made everything easy and had great ideas to add. This was a gift for the founder of our company who was retiring. I received photo updates as the project advanced. Everything went perfect and the item was a big hit for all!
