My email address is:
Send me an email with the following information to describe what you want in your custom stained glass mosaic table.
Please note that prices for custom works vary depending on design complexity, number of pieces in the design, and
stained-glass color.
Type of Table
Choose your table type from these selections. The availability of table types varies depending on material in-stock at the
vendor. If different, but similar, tables are available instead of the exact type shown, I'll contact you to determine if it suits
your needs. For example, an available end table might look similar but its height might be 25" instead of only 22". We'll
work together to ensure we both have a common understanding of your table type and dimensions.
Glass Colors
Tell me the basic colors and their tint or shade that you want for the: 1) Main focal points, 2) Background, and 3) Square
tiles around the outer perimeter. For example, you might say, "I want the big flower to be dark purple, and I want the little
flower to be light yellow. I don't care how dark or light you make the leaves and stems as long as they're green. I really like
that off-white with light-purple swirls for the background. The square tiles around the perimeter can be anything you think
looks good, like, white or maybe some kind of light green." We'll work together to ensure we both have a common
understanding of your desired colors. If necessary, I'll take digital pictures of sample glass colors and email the pictures to
you. Be advised, colors in digital pictures are for reference purposes only. Colors in pictures may not truly represent actual
colors. I can also email you the URL of the glass vendor's product catalog that you can view online, but be advised that
catalog colors may not exactly match actual glass colors.
Grout Color
I'll use any available grout color you want, but please be advised that light gray and medium gray usually look best no matter
what kind of pattern or glass colors you choose. If you want a different color other than light gray or medium gray, I'll use it if
I can get it, but please be advised that the final result may not look as good as you had hoped, and that I cannot accept a
return because of ugly grout color.
Wood Stain
Choose your stain color from these selections. The availability of stain color varies depending on material in-stock at the
vendor. I typically apply three coats of stain to ensure a full, rich color. If you want only one or two coats of stain, please let
me know, but please be advised that the final result may not look as good as you had hoped, and that I cannot accept a
return because of ugly stain color. Please be advised that colors in pictures may not truly represent actual colors because
of limitations of the display and because stain looks a bit different depending on the type of wood used. I can also email you
the URL of the stain vendor's product listing that you can view online, but be advised that online pictures also may not
exactly match actual stain colors. We'll work together to ensure we both have a common understanding of your desired
stain color.
Wood Topcoat
I use water-based Polycrylic as the protective topcoat over stain and paint. Choose whether you want high-gloss,
semi-gloss, or satin (i.e., satin has minimal shine). I typically apply two coats of Polycrylic. Please note that furniture can
also be painted. For example, white is a popular color for sunny, beach decors in homes or offices. If you want your table
painted, please let me know the exact brand, color name, and color code, and whether you want high-gloss, semi-gloss, egg
shell, satin, or flat. If possible, please choose a commonly available brand, such as Behr (Home Depot) or Valspar (Lowe's).
Also, let me know if you want a Polycrylic topcoat applied over paint. If you do, let me know if you want the topcoat to be
high-gloss, semi-gloss, or satin.
Stained Glass Pattern/Design
I have pictures of several pattern samples that I can email to you if you request them. You can customize the design by
tweaking the pattern however you choose as long as it's physically possible to cut and grind the glass shapes. I can modify
the design's basic shape (i.e., square, rectangle, or circle) to fit your furniture type. For example, if you choose a square
end table and if you choose a circular pattern, I can usually modify the circular pattern to fit the square table top. Also, you
can provide me your own pattern design. Usually, all that's required for a custom pattern is a .jpg file of the subject to be
transformed into a work of art. In most cases, I can take the .jpg file and create a pattern to fit the desired furniture shape.
Putting It All Together
Once you're done choosing all aspects of your custom design, we'll work together to ensure we both have a common
understanding of the final design. Then, it's just a matter of me getting to work and creating another beautiful piece of
functional art designed and crafted just for you!
