Originally
made famous by Alexander Calder, hanging mobiles and kinetic sculptures have ever since
marveled us. I've added a twist to hanging mobiles by combining the grace of Calder with the colorful vision of Louis Comfort Tiffany to create my stained glass mobiles. The kinetic mobiles featured here are individually crafted from fine reproduction Tiffany stained glass, hand selected for its quality and appearance.

My stained glass mobiles have many moods depending on how the light shines
through them. Hanging your mobile indoors by a window and enjoy the variety of
colors that come through them as the daylight changes |

| Art glass is purchased in large sheets. Each sheet of stained glass is amazingly individual,
like a snow flake. I make our best effort to preserve the essence of
the glass mobiles seen in pictures. If you have a favorite color or special
mobile in mind, just ask. |

| My patterns are drawn directly onto the stained glass and I use the natural grains and colors of the glass to create the designs. The glass is then scored with an oiled carbon wheel and chipped away with pliers. I also use a variety saws and grinders to cut inside curves and to prepare the stained glass edges for the copper foil. My glass mobiles are then assembled together using lead-free silver solder. |
|
|
|
| I use nylon line to suspend the individual vanes and counterweight of the stained glass mobiles together. Nylon enables each vane of the mobile to spin in 360 degrees motion and independently of each other. Nylon offers an eloquence of movement that can not be obtained with wire. Wire does have greater longevity and is available upon request. |
