My original stained glass bird designs will now be available at our local wildlife refuge in Hyde County NC!

After many years of trying, the US Fish & Wildlife Service has finally built a beautiful new Visitor's Center for the Mattamuskeet Refuge. 

I have created a Tundra Swan suncatcher eclusively for them, pictured here. 

If you have any excuse at all to visit Hyde County NC, I highly recommend the walking trails at Mattamuskeet!  The lake is open for boating from March through October.  Birding is excellent year-round.  The Prothonatary Warblers & Indigo Buntings are just now arriving.  Soon it will be time for Orchard Orioles, Blue Gossbeaks & my favorite, the Yellow-Billed Cuckoo.

If you're into reptiles, we've got spotted turtles & pygmy rattlers....just don't try to take those home with you because they are protected & the state & the feds are actively patrolling!  (Word to the wise.)

Calling all wildlife afficianados.....If you haven't already, please visit Hyde County NC!

I've noticed lately that my website has been drawing some attention from searches for Stained Glass Names, and I thank my most recent clients Cynthia & Ellen for  bringing this to my attention!

As a result, I have created a new gallery page devoted to custom names & initails.  It is designed to make ordering of a custom design simple & easy.  Best of all, orders placed directly through my website automatically qualify for free shipping & handling!

I can do any letters in any colors in either basic or themed designs.  They are great gifts...in fact, they are always gifts.  I've never had anyone order his or her own name for him- or herself.  Hmmm...

If you have a special someone for whom you've been wanting that unique gift, I guarantee you will not be disappointed with my work.

Please Contact Me before you order if you have any questions at all. I will respond as quickly as possible, usually within 24 hours.

If you are ready to place your order please use the notes in the virtual checkout lane, and/or my Contact form, to specify the letters & colors in your custom name or initials. I will contact you to confirm your order within 24 hours.

Please keep in mind that my studio is in a very rural area & I am still dealing with only dial-up internet.  Alas, my only other option is HughesNet....if  you consider $90/mo for spotty service an option.   If I had broadband or even DSL I would also be uploading the picture I took earlier this evening of a smiley face that appeared in a jumbo onion cut in half.  Thanks to the powers that be that we have better things to do with our time.....Well, I do.  I'd love to make something both beautiful & enduring for you out of my favorite media:  Glass & Metal!
