Ann
$395.00

24” tall and 8” wide

Getting swept away into a piece of historical fiction, full of castles, acts of chivalry, and of course princesses has to be one of my favorite past times. I’m not alone in this harkening for a more romantic time, which is why gothic revival is popular not only in fiction, but also in furnishings and architecture. Ann is a perfect example of gothic revival decor and will add medieval flavor to any room it is displayed in. A kaleidoscope of pointed arches frame a posy of daisies, which in Victorian times, symbolized innocence. The perfect window for a sweet princess to peer out of. Made with high quality materials and handmade glass made in the USA. One of a kind and created by hand in Houston, Texas. A mix of translucent, opaque, and mottled glass encased in black lead came. Black solder. Measures 24” tall and 8” wide. Polished.

Hawkmoth - petals
$195.00

13” wide x 8” tall.

Hawkmoths are members of the Sphingidae family, and are named for their swift, hovering flight patterns. Hawkmoths pollinate flowers such as petunias and orchids. Perhaps the most famous Hawkmoth is Xanthopan morganii praedicta, who was predicted to exist by Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace to pollinate the Madagascar orchid. This Hawkmoth is unique because the eye spots on its wings are clear glass filled with natural pressed flowers. The look is ethereal, as if this moth hails from wood filled with fairies.

Fossilfly - seaglass
$195.00

12” wide x 9” tall.

Butterflies are symbols of life, endurance, change, and hope. In many cultures, people associate butterflies with souls. However you view the lovely creatures that populate the family Papilionoidea, they add color and effervescence to our lives. The fossilfly is especially unique among its peers because its thorax, abdomen, and head are made of a single orthoceras fossil. This fossil dates to the Ordovician period, some 400 million years ago. It is the ancestor to the modern day squid. While the fossilfly looks spectacular alone, imagine a whole kaleidoscope (a group of butterflies) gracing your windows. Made with high quality materials and handmade glass made in the USA. One of a kind and created by hand in Houston, Texas. A mix of translucent, opaque, and mottled glass encased in solder. Silver solder. Measures 12” wide x 9” tall. Polished.

The fossilfly is especially unique among its peers because its thorax, abdomen, and head are made of a single orthoceras fossil. This fossil dates to the Ordovician period, some 400 million years ago. It is the ancestor to the modern day squid. To further gild the lily, I made the interior portions of the wings out of an extraordinary mouth blown glass from the Fremont Glass Company. This glass blowing duo produces a very limited amount of glass and it is quite difficult to get your hands on some.

Violet: Mauve

“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.” - Oscar Wilde

19” tall x 17.5” wide

Clearly this charming panel has never experienced a day without love. In the historic Victorian Geometric style, this cheerful piece might remind you of the Carson Mansion in California or the Painted Ladies in San Francisco. Additionally, it might conjure up images of the encaustic tiles that have made a comeback in interiors over the last few years. Like the tiles, stained glass made a huge resurgence during the Victorian, with floral and geometric designs commonly found above the front door or in entrance halls. Violet has been made extra special because of the inclusion of a highly textured, hand mixed glass featuring geometric roses. Made with high quality materials and handmade glass made in the USA.
