~~~~~About This Mobile:
I created a similar piece for our home patio, and it hangs directly outside the living room window where we can see it every day. Some of the beads I used are actually from a broken necklace that belonged to my Mom, so it is a very special to me!
It moves with a gentle breeze, creating the effect of butterflies hovering over the flowers. The hummingbird is flying overhead. You can easily alter the positions of any of the pieces if you prefer a different effect! There are little red ladybug beads flying over the flowers and leafs!

As seen in photos:
Butterfly One: Top Wings are Dark Blue Wispy Glass, Bottom Wings are Cobalt Blue Waterglass and the body is a light purple rough rolled glass.
Butterfly Two: the entire piece is created using a rippled glass that has varying amounts of greens and aquas.
Flower One: Sky Blue/Turquoise with a turquoise center
Flower Two: Pale Lilac Wispy Glass with a Purple Center; has 2 green leafs hanging or floating below, each with a unique item, such as a twisted wire 'rib' or a wire with glass bead embellishing it!
Hummingbird: Medium Blue Body and Head, Light Blue/White/Clear 'Oceana' Glass tail, and Clear Textured Iridescent Wings. He has a twisted Silver color wire beak.
Makes a great housewarming gift! Perfect for you garden, patio, gazebo, or a sunny porch! Butterflies, and hummingbird 'fluttering' around and casting colorful shadows in your sunny room or backyard area. I use galvanized silver tone metal sturdy wire, suitable for an outdoor or indoor space as it is rust-resistant!
~~~~~~~~Size:
Each stained glass item is between 1-1/2 to 6 inches, and the entire piece including hanger is about 28" long by 14" wide, although we can tweak this to suit your space. These lovely mobiles dance in the breeze!
I have been creating these stained glass mobiles for many years and have made them in fish, flowers, solar system, animals, you name it! Contact me for your custom creation and I will be happy to work with you to make your one-of-a-kind piece.
I make these using the Tiffany copper foil method, and when complete each piece is waxed and buffed to make it sparkling clean. They are ready to hang! I package my glass carefully and lovingly.
I take great care in creating pieces that I love to design, and my goal is that you will be happy to own, display, and use them in your home or office. I carefully package them so they will arrive looking the same as when they left my shop.

Meet the Maker
I've been a Stained Glass Artist for 2 decades now, and I put a lot of love into everything I make!
A little about me:
It all began with a dream...
I'd always loved the way light interacts with stained glass, and dreamed of learning how to make pieces of my own. I had the opportunity to take a class when I was attending Cal State University, Fullerton, where I learned the basics of cutting, grinding, and using lead came to create some simple windows. Working with stained glass was now in my blood and I taught myself the Copper Foil Method of Construction by reading books. Copper foil construction allows me to create a wide range of pieces in both 2 and 3 dimensions. These include hanging sun catchers, business card holders and more for your office, candle holders, vases, hanging mobiles, and much more! While I do have many popular designs that I have sold for many years, I love to create completely unique pieces as well! I've been creating unique stained glass pieces for 2 decades and am thrilled to do custom orders; special color combinations or sizes to suit your needs. I've been approached to create completely new designs or sizes: for instance a large company asked me to created a bigger version of one of my business card holders to accommodate special cards; they ordered 43 of these in 2 color schemes to give as gifts to their employees! Another example: I once made almost 100 Peace signs for a customer who purchased them as special commemorative gifts at a memorial.
Custom orders begin with a need and an idea; together we can communicate to create a color scheme, pattern, size, and design to suit your specific needs.
I'm happy to include as much or as little of your input as you are comfortable with: I've found that some people want to give me some information and have me run with it, while others like to be very involved in all aspects of planning. It helps the process run more quickly if you'd like to browse through my shop and find colors and types of glass that you are drawn to.
My goal is to make pieces that are artistic, useful, very well made items that you are proud to own and display in your home, office or outdoor space! I sell many pieces that I can send directly to a gift recipient: Please include the correct shipping address at checkout and let me know what I can write on a note card. (Example: "Happy birthday Whitney! Love from your brother Nate"). I will have a gift-wrap option available at a nominal charge! I use a gift box to package the items; beautifully gift wrap with a selection of wrapping paper and add a pretty bow to finish it off; this package then goes into a larger, sturdy shipping box surrounded by bubble wrap to ensure safe delivery.
I'm very careful with my packaging, using sturdy boxes and plenty of bubble wrap so your special purchase arrives in the same condition it left my workshop.

Shop Policies
Welcome and thank you for visiting my shop!
Processing times:
In Stock items ship in as little as 1 or up to a few days. Many of my items are made to order, allowing you to choose your specific color choice or design. I do work on orders by the date received, so that the earliest orders can ship the soonest. Processing times are dependent on the item and the number of items ordered, and how many orders I currently have in my queue: normally it takes me between 2 and 10 days to complete a made-to-order item and get it to the Post Office. This doesn't include the actual time spent in transit. Please feel free to contact me if you have a specific timeline, if it is a gift for instance. I can give you a good idea of when I can complete your order! Like any online seller, I can't promise how long the post office will take to get it to you. However, in the 1000's of packages I've shipped over the years there have only been a handful of real issues with the delivery time.
Cancellations or Returns:
Please save your packaging materials.
I understand that at times you may need to change your mind and I am happy to work it out with you to the best of my ability.
To Cancel, please let me know within the first 24 hours and I can refund in full. Anytime after that, check in to inquire about options: If I haven't purchased material or started cutting the glass, I can happily refund in full. If I Have started, I will refund 50-70% of the total depending on how far along I am with the order. Custom orders however, are final.
Returns: Custom orders and sale items are final; No returns accepted! Anything else please contact me within 7 days for instructions. Give me a brief description of the reason for wanting to return the item. Using the packaging materials used in my shipping to you, please very carefully wrap each piece. If it's a card holder or other 3 dimensional piece, fill the inside with bubble wrap and surround it with more. You want to box to be full but not super tightly packed. It should not move around but should have just a little give. Try to keep the same amount of bubble wrap around each side of the glass (example, and inch above, below, and on the sides). If I receive your purchase back in the same unused condition as it left my shop I will refund minus the shipping costs. Customer is responsible for shipping charges both ways.
I appreciate your business!
