Fused Glass Table Sculpture: Hoe A Mau - I Know You'll Always Be There
"Hoe a mau" - paddle together, is an important concept in Hawaii, meaning to make the most of each contributor's strength. This piece is composed of three fused glass elements that are kiln carved with patterns reminiscent of the sun, the waves and the moon. Though each knows the other is there, the reach of the sun and moon is blocked by the ever present sea. This piece makes a unique table sculpture that transmits and reflects the ambient light in the room. Each viewing angle offers a new vista. Approximate dimensions: 11" D x 13" W x 11" H

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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 Neil's Glasswork5.0Michelle is the consumate artist/professional. She took us from a concept of what we were thinking to finished product by educating us on the different means of producing the glass art panels she created for us. We provided her with a picture from South American, which she use to create two raked panels, which we will mount and back light. She took the time to find out what we wanted and helped us define it. She sent progress reports with pictures as the panels were created. She sought our feedback throughout. The finished panels are stunning, and will be a wonderful reminder of our travels to South America. I recommend Michelle and her work with the great enthusiasm.

For Pendant Project5.0Michelle 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!

For Gregory's Stained Glass4.8From initial contact to delivery, Michelle has been nothing but a consummate professional. The piece she made is not only gorgeous, but exactly what I was hoping for when I first posted my request.
I could not possibly be more happy with the work she has done, the speed she made the piece with, and her communication throughout the entire process, both in explaining the options available, and turning my idea into a treasured glass artwork.
