5 out of 5 starsWe had previously purchased one of Barbara’s other pieces for my stepmother who absolutely loved it, so we knew we had to have one for our own home. We live on a river and frequently have Canadian geese that visit, so it’s an image that has some meaning for us. Barbara clearly worked VERY hard on this piece and spent a lot of time communicating with me and throwing around ideas. It’s a very interactive experience and it’s been an absolute joy both times now seeing these beautiful works of art come to life in real-time. The final result is a stunning, luminous, one of a kind piece that now hangs in our bedroom window where it will brighten our days from now on. I could not recommend Vivid Glass more strongly to anyone whose eye has been drawn here. Barbara is a true and talented artist and a lovely person all around.

5 out of 5 starsWonderful experience! Barbara shared updates throughout the creation process which made it exciting to see come together. Terrific communication the whole way. It was a gift, so have not seen in person yet, but per the photos it looks absolutely stunning. Will definitely be getting more art from Vivid Glass. Thanks so much!!

5 out of 5 starsI asked for a specialized piece of art from Barbara, featuring me and my daughter as mermaids. As always, Barbara worked tirelessly and beautifully to create something that I will treasure for the rest of my days. My heartfelt thanks to an amazing individual and artist!

5 out of 5 starsBarbara is the most tireless and wonderful of artists. She sends me updates on my picture and is always available to communicate with me. As you can see from my many other reviews, I keep coming back to her shop and unique style. You cannot go wrong with a personalized piece from her. I'll update with my art work when I receive it.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
We suggest dusting our pieces with a feather duster and to keep that sparkle, occasionally cleaning with rubbing alcohol or Windex and a cotton swab. It is normal for a few beads or tiny fragments to shed at first.
Custom and personalized orders
We'll be happy to create a custom design for you. You choose your colors, subject and size. Based on your wishes, we will email you a free sketch for your approval/changes before we begin the work in glass. No deposit is required unless your requested design is very personal (such as a monogram) or so weird we wouldn’t be able to sell it to another buyer! We have created pictures of beers, wines, animals, birds, as well as sea creatures, submarines and mermaids. Our work ranges from a minimum dimension of 5” to a maximum dimension up to 30". We suggest you look over our library of creations to get some ideas. The possibilities are amazing and everything looks better in sparkling, vivid stained glass! Completion varies from 3 days to 1 month
Sizing details
Our pieces may measure a minimum of about 3"X5" to a maximum of 18” per side.
Gift wrapping and packaging
We will carefully swaddle your item in bubble wrap and suitable packing materials. We are glad to add creative gift wrapping for an additional $5 per item
