Hank During Snowpocalypse
This is Hank - a pet portrait made for a Custom Made client. Hank is depicted proudly sitting in a deep snow drift in the middle of a snow storm. It is a 15"x20" panel, constructed using the Tiffany copper foil method and framed in a sturdy zinc frame. Hanging hardware has been securely soldered into the frame. The glint in Hank's eye and the spots on his collar have both been hand painted on and fired for permanence. This design was drawn from a photo provided by my client. My client was consulted every step of the way and had a large part in choosing this beautiful glass. I actually utilized two different patina techniques on this panel - black and copper patina. The copper patina was used on Hank's fur and the black patina on all of the background lines. You can see a close up of the copper lines in photo 3. Hank has also been photographed both in natural and in indoor lighting conditions (but both on a cold wintry day). You can see how the glass seems to change in different light conditions. This was a wonderful panel to design and to build. As me about designing a panel of your own beloved pet.

Whether you are looking for something to brighten up a window or upgrade your kitchen cabinets, stained glass should appeal not only to your sense of aesthetic, but should ignite your imagination. I'll have done my job right when my glass sings to you.
You may choose from one of my pre-designed panels or I can create something just for you and for your space. All pieces are created using the Tiffany copper foil method and, when appropriate, are framed in a rigid, metal frame with sturdy hangers built in to each piece. Wood framing is also available upon request. As a special thank you, I also include hooks and chain so that you'll have everything you need to display your art.

Sep 16, 2018The finished stain glass of our family crest was absolutely beautiful. Monique was able to capture our family crest exactly as the picture we sent to her. Monique communicated with us throughout the project and was able to meet our expectations and more. We were particularly fortunate as we were able to make a day trip to pick up our family crest. It was a true pleasure to meet Monique in person. She is a wonderful artist and human being. It was our pleasure to do business with her.
