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.

Bette Redner
For Family crestThe 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.
David Mink

Ken Helie

Andrea Clauter
For Andrea's Wedding & Special OccasionThere is nothing bad to write about this project. It was exactly as described from emails and photographs. We made a couple last minute changes and she was very flexible. I relied on her expert opinion but she also took my request seriously. Some vendors don't listen to the customer OR listen only to them and rhats when you get bad results. Well definitely not in this case. I couldn't be more happier with a custom made piece of stain glass for my wife on our 3 year weddin anniversary. Thank you so much!

For The Town Mouse And The Country MouseDavid Caruso
For David's stained glass panelOne of the nicest experiences I have ever had with a project. Monique and Dancing light Stained Glass provided me with 4 stain glass panels that are of the highest quality and workmanship. Monique was very helpful and provided various options on a not so standard project. She communicated with me throughout the project and delivered the panels 2 weeks earlier than expected. I am so happy, I am asking her to look at another project I am about to start. Thank you M!
Janyl Hardisty
For angel baby lampI received my lamp last night and it is just so beautiful. It seems so sturdy and well made too. Monique suggested the lamp while we were working out what to do on another project. The idea of a lamp had never crossed my mind and I am so glad she suggested it. Her glass choices are just perfect and beautiful too. It is just perfect as a memorial piece. It is such a personal and special piece to me, I really love it. Monique was very sensitive to how the project could be difficult for me emotionally at times. She communicated a lot and was just great through the whole process. I have bookmarked custom made and Moniques studios websites for future projects and gift ideas.
Janyl Hardisty
For Janyl's GlassworkThis project really exceeded my expectations. I had a design in mind for an angel baby christmas ornament and had a few other people respond with quotes. Monique had really great ideas to improve on the design and I was just so impressed. I thought I loved my original idea but the design she suggested was just so much better. She communicated a lot through the process and her pricing was very reasonable. The finished product is just so beautiful. As a memorial piece it is incredibly personal and special to me. Monique was very sensitive to that throughout the process. I really don't feel like I have enough words to explain how happy I am with the piece and Moniques help. She is amazing and I will keep custommade and her glass studio websites bookmarked for future projects.

For The Town Mouse And The Country MouseOur stained glass design was beautiful & the craftsmanship extremely well executed – really old world craftsmanship. Monique’s attention to detail is exceptional, it actually turned out much better than we ever expected. Equally as important was her attention to service & keeping us well informed of all the details and steps to take, it was a smooth process.

Judith Hawver
For Hibiscus PanelI am absolutely thrilled with the stained glass panel I received. It was a complete pleasure to work with Monique. She describe the entire process in detail, kept in steady contact with me, and provided me with different variations to chose from. She started the panel when she had planned, however, finished it much more quickly than I expected. She is very friendly and willing to make any adjustments to satisfy her customer. Her final product is an excellent exhibit of her outstanding artistic abilities. I would not hesitate to contact her again in the future if the need arises.

For Business Card HoldersFrom start to finish this was by far the smoothest transaction I have had ever had and the piece is beautiful to boot. Thanks!
Cheyenne Clement
For Business Card HoldersThe final product turned out great! I actually bought this item as a desk phone stand for a friend of mine. It turned out great! Monique did a fantastic job! She was able to adjust the dimensions to make the stand wide and tall enough to accommodate a phone. Highly recommend her products.
Gregg Milligan
For Gregg's Stained GlassMonique is truly an accomplished artist. Her design ideas and overall completed stained glass is exemplary. She was both very patient and understanding with me … when I sincerely had no idea what I wanted. I was honestly stunned at how beautiful my project came out. The quality and ‘care’ Monique put into my project has surpassed my expectations. This is not to say I did not expect anything less than spectacular from her! In addition, I also honestly enjoyed working with Monique on a personal level as well. She is a genuine artiste and an endearing individual. Thank you, Monique!
Kathaleen caputo
For Kathaleen's stained glass panelMonique did an amazing job.
