Flight of the Imagination is an art glass piece that combines fused glass, dichoic glass and traditional stained glass elements. The design was inspired by the crab claw sails of the ancient Polynesians who set sail into an immense ocean with only the sun, the stars and the waves to guide them to a new home. If that doesn't require a flight of the imagination, I don't know what does! The dichroic stars were inspired by a kapa pattern. They are set into a lauhala style weave of midnight blue introducing a graphic element. The glass panel is in a two sided mahogany frame that is anchored in a slate base, also framed in mahogany. It is a free standing table sculpture that looks stunning in a living room, office or library. Approximate dimensions: 24" x 12" x 7"

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 Pendant ProjectMichelle is great to work with! This was my first time using CustomMade, Michelle helped me through the process and made the experience fun. Michelle is kind, creative and timely. She created a pendant for my sister's birthday inspired from a broach entitled "Breaking the Glass Ceiling" and included me in the whole process. I know my sister will love her birthday present!
