A CustomMade client wanted to use the 1926 St. Louis Cardinals baseball team logo in some type of tabletop for his home bar. We worked together to come up with a design that used the logo along with several photos of pieces of Cardinal memorabilia from his collection. The client took the photos, which I printed on translucent Vellum. The piece is back-lit with LED lighting, and uses actual baseball bats as legs. There are fused glass baseballs projecting from the steel side of the piece. The top surface is glass mosaic on 3/8 inch Lexan. The underside of the Lexan is covered with glass frit to act as a diffuser.

Fused glass work is my primary focus, but I also work in leaded stained glass, found object sculpture, large abstract watercolors, and acrylic painting. I use glass to make custom lighting fixtures and chandeliers. Most of my material is scrap recycled from local leaded glass businesses. Musical themes predominate, but I am open to other imagery. I am able to incorporate text and personal photographs into my custom work.
In addition to glass, I make custom or reproduction lead castings for use with leaded glass panels.

For Slumped Glass LampshadesDavid is amazing to work with. I contacted him about creating a custom piece of art for me. He listened to exactly what I wanted and communicated with me quickly and frequently. I really appreciate him taking my ideas into consideration and giving me exactly what I wanted! I will definitely work with David again in the future and recommend that you do too.
