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.

My name is Michelle Caron and I am the owner and artist at Caron Art Glass -now located in Salem, Oregon. I have been working with glass for over 25 years creating fused glass, stained glass and glass mosaic art work. 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. There is something for everyone - even those hard-to-buy-for friends and family.
