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 Karen's moulded glass base for antique globe5.0I 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!!!!

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 Floor lamp Project4.7David was very professional and communicated easily and often. He was able to translate my sophomoric drawings into a perfect replacement for the broken glass lamp shades that had been destroyed in a recent earthquake. His charges were reasonable. His attention to detail, provision of progress images and reports, and desire to satisfy were gratifying and all products arrived intact and as expected. I would certainly request his services again and recommend him and CustomMade to my friends and relatives.

For Savanna's Chandelier5.0Working with David was an absolute pleasure. He took the time early on to really understand my vision, and made working with him so easy. His constant communication at every step of the way kept us completely involved and allowed us to take control of the project from a distance. He definitely went above and beyond personally driving our piece to Florida for delivery (from Texas!) and has left us with nothing but great things to say about him.
I'm already trying to dream up new projects just so we can work with him again and have more than one David Zvanut original in our home!
