Art Glass Mosaic Chess Board - Mexican Bobbles
The client had collected bobble animals from Mexico and wanted a custom made chess board that would accommodate the pieces and make for a whimsical and very unique chess set. The squares are a large 2.5" square and the border uses warm, bright colors reminiscent of Mexican folk art. At each corner there is a lime green fused glass cactus with orange, yellow, lime and black spines that I tack fused n order to keep the slightly raised texture. The board is 24" x 24" and is framed in poplar that I painted a semi-gloss black. The overall dimensions of the Mexican bobble head chess board are 25.5" W x 25.5" L x 1.5" H.

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 Blazing Fall Forest5.0Project was complicated and was pulled off with perfection. I had Caron make three custom stained glass lights. They are amazing and perfect. Installed perfectly onto bases that were already made.

For Ariel's Glasswork4.5Michelle is great, she is very good at communicating and sent alot of messages most with a picture or 2 of her process which was great to see. I needed it by a certain date and she finished in very close to that date (there was a few issues with material orders) and it was gorgeous!

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!
