Who
is the designer?
All of
the pieces on our website are designed by Mimi, who has
been known, since 1982, in the giftware industry for her
extensive line of hand painted metal décor, hand cut
from recycled steel 55 gallon drums (Old World
Creations). More
recently, she introduced a very successful line of
ornate stained glass accessories, featuring jewelry
boxes, vases, and picture frames as well as the
wonderful stained glass sun-catchers and jewelry boxes which are shown on
this website.
Both of these lines are sold in fine gift stores

Back
to questions
How
are the painted metal pieces made?
Each piece has been
hand cut from a heavy recycled 55 gallon steel drum. The
design is drawn onto the flattened drum and skillfully
hand cut using hammer and chisel. It is then sealed with
a rust preventative paint before the decorative
hand painting is done. A final coat of polyurethane
varnish is then applied.
Back
to questions
How
are the stained glass pieces made?
The finest quality of
American made stained glass is used in the creating of the
sun-catchers and jewelry boxes. Each individual piece of glass within the
design is carefully hand-cut and smoothed to assure it
fitting perfectly into place. The Tiffany copper foil
technique is used in soldering all of these multiple
glass pieces together. All pieces are finished with extremely
attractive decorative hand soldering work. The piece is
then polished to perfection.
Back
to questions
How
do I care for my stained glass pieces?
The pieces can be
washed in ordinary dish detergent or a glass cleaner. On occasion you can
polish the glass and the silver soldering work with a
coat of most any brand of auto polish. Just apply a
light coat over the entire piece and polish it with a
dry soft cloth. This will brighten the piece and remove
any fingerprints. Then sit back and enjoy!
