5 out of 5 starsThis is the most beautiful star! I hung it up in my kitchen for our patriotic celebration. The reflection of rainbows throughout my kitchen is magnificent! The craftmanship is outstanding, as always with Kurt's stars!

5 out of 5 starsI loveee the green star. Dazzling in the sun, handmade with care,so gorgeous. I've ordered multiple times. This one is for my father who is ill, so he can gaze at it and know he is thought of and loved. Their wrapping is super darling, and fast shipping. Thank you!!

Glass Stars?
I learned how to do stained glass. Came home and taught Rebecca. She came up with the glass stars concept. The rest is history.

Kurt&Becky Knudsen aka Dirt&Piggy
Owner, We Can Make You A Star!
We fell in love in high school. Married in our 20s, had six children in 8 years, and they have 23 children amongst them. We're still madly in love with each other and are best friends.
Shop policies
Rebecca is the one who came up with the star idea. No one had done it before, but now there are multiple emulators. A few years back we sold seventeen hundred of the stars in the Sundance Catalog (of Robert Redford fame) They sold for over twice what we sell them on Etsy.
The dolls are all handmade, and 95% of the stitching is with silk thread. They are more fine art than dolls to play with, but they ARE fun to play with.
The paintings are original oil paintings. I also carve and paint the frames so they are a true companions, each an integral part of the other.
