It's brilliant!! Everyone who sees it raves about the beautiful

A landscape taken from customer's own photograph, for a gift:
"Just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for the wonderful
panel you created for my house. My friend loved her gift. We are
probably hanging it up in our kitchen window, which has some wonderful
light pass through it. The panel truly comes alive in the sunlight,
it is totally amazing. Thanks again for working with me on this
project. I would definitely use you again when looking for a stained
glass creation, and I will recommend you to my friends."

Paul
V, CA, USA
Commission:
from customer's own design:
"The panel looks beautiful. I suppose I was expecting the panel
to be a bit more concealing as a privacy panel, and the "pebble"
areas to have more of a raised texture. Nevertheless, I have a panel
that I can be very, very proud of and the color of the "amber"
is perfect. I almost hate to mention any thing, but I'm sure that
you want to strive for the best possible communications. I believe
you gave me an excellent price and quality. "
