I picked up a case of Pyrex tubing at an auction and played with different arrangements and combinations of lights and materials until this was the result. I used an old motorcycle drive chain held in tension by a combination of steel rods and piano bass strings. There are four 6-foot LED 5050 strip lights on aluminum channels hanging in the center. The 160 glass tubes are four feet long and arranged in two tiers. The entire length from the ceiling attachment to the bottom of the chandelier is 80 inches.

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 Karen's moulded glass base for antique globeI cannot say enough good things about David and the project he completed for us. He is AMAZING…talented, professional, a great communicator and willing to tackle tough projects. He restored a beautiful glass base for an antique globe that has been in my family from the late 1800's. He had to make several attempts and the results are fabulous. I cannot recommend him highly enough. THANK YOU DAVID!!!!
