My Story
I began exploring the idea of creating to-scale miniature stained glass because it was something I hadn’t seen done before—and it brought together two of my longtime passions: miniature-making and stained glass art. After extensive experimentation, I’ve developed a method for crafting 1:12 scale suncatchers using real glass as thin as 0.35 mm. Each piece is meticulously copper-foiled and constructed in the style of Louis Comfort Tiffany. I'm proud to share Fathom That, my first complete collection, and my 1mm window collection-in-progress.
