Fused And Slumped Glass Suncatcher
A CustomMade client wanted a colorful glass piece modeled on my slumped glass lampshades, but she wanted it for a wall or window hanging so there was no need to allow space for a light bulb. I was given freedom to design it in my style as lonng as I used her colors and the result had a random, wavy look.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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 Lampshades5.0This was the first time I used CustomMade, and I was very pleased with the results of my project. I had a pair of broken slumped glass lampshades that I wanted to recreate. David provided a detailed description of the process he would use to create new lampshades for me and an approximate timeframe. He communicated with me each step of the way and provided pictures of how my lampshades were progressing. When he hit a snag, he let me know how he was going to address it, always communicating along the way. The result was a beautiful pair of lampshades that were nearly identical to the original broken ones. I greatly appreciate his talent and his willingness to go the extra mile to ensure the project met my expections. If you're looking for an experienced artist to complete a quality project for you, I highly recommend David.

For Slumped Glass Lampshades5.0David was great with our project. His attention to detail and and pictures along the way was great. We had a complicated measurement with a swelling for the light bulb and not just a flat piece of glass being bent. He was responsive with an adjustment of one of the 3 shades did not have the same shading. I would highly recommend him for future ventures. My only problem was with the Marketplace site that was not good for my sending pictures back to him. I would love to send a picture back of the finished lamp but it won't let me post. David rescued my tragic accident breaking my modern custom lamp . He is my hero.

For Shelley's Chandelier5.0David was a dream to work with. I gave home the concept and he was off and running. The finished piece is the centerpiece of our home. He was super creative and the communication was excellent every step of the way. I highly recommend David. His work is exceptional and you won't be disappointed.

For Slumped Glass Lampshades5.0We were so impressed with the first slumped glass shade, we ordered another in a different color. It's as beautiful as the first one. Thanks David!
