Passion sure pays if you persist at something. This was too cool of a finish to an ultimate challenge. This project was inspired by one of our cool glass techniques called chiseled glass, it is a unique custom bar water feature. This unique perspective was impressive enough for Ocean Home Magazine to feature, and we all agree. The details are many so call for full details.

Traditionally Styled Stained Glass Dome - This dome is made from hand blown colored sheet glass. There is well over 2000 hand cut pieces to this ceiling and they are all joined together by real traditional lead came channel.

Super-Carved Glass Panel - This dynamically carved glass panel was one of the deepest carved panels to date. This is a 3/4" plate glass slab 6 feet tall by 6 1/2 feet wide. A custom depth gauge was used to determine the depth of carving before reaching the other side. This is maxed out. The other feature to notice is all the contour, it was all done by hand with a standard sandblasting machine.

Hand-Carved Glass Scenery. This is another original art piece. This is by far the most detailed engraving to date. Every star and water drop was done by hand with a mini-blaster.

Fracture - Dynamic displays of light, color and sparkle. This is not broken, it is beautifully force fractured and force fused with a gorgeous purple bonding agent. One of the many techniques we turn into art.

Carved and Painted Glass Aspen Trees - This is multi-layered glass panels carved from both the front and back surfaces. The carved glass was hand painted to perfection with shadow lines and details.

Super-Custom Chiseled Glass Water Feature (night) Here is the night shot showing the creative glass lit up with RGB LED's. Looking west to the city from this penthouse unit. Water fills the upper trough, cascades out of the center into the glass channel down the length of the bar and off the end into the floor catch.

Super-Custom Chiseled Glass Water Feature (day) - This unique custom water feature consists of several components of creative glass. The upper starter basin is where water fills and spills down the bar channel. The water falls at the end into a floor catch. The water returns through the floor.

Etched Glass Process - Everything we do is by hand, I am adding a few final details here. Normally I am suited up from head to toe in protective equipment.

Intricacy - Another staple in great design. When the time calls for intricate and tedious details, it is in our zone. We are capable of the most involved custom design work, and creating it is a pleasure. Do look for future works of wonder coming from our studio regularly.

Glass Wave Sculpture - This cool layered glass sculpture plays on pattern and form. These are solid bonded glass form structures. This concept technique is unlimited in style and a focused directive in our future portfolio. The dynamics of formed glass sculpture gets even more interesting with finishing techniques and color.

Etched and Carved Marlin Design - This original art commission has a powerful 3-D effect. This effect is created by the use of shading within the sand carving technique. This technique has been mastered by owner / artist Chris Reisert

Calf - Super-Carved and Sculpted Low-Iron Glass - This is a very unique sculpture, it is made from the sculpting of thick 3/4" glass which is bonded together in layers to create much thicker works of art in glass.

Custom Cabinet Door Wave Design - This unique application has its challenge, control-cutting thick 3/4" plate glass into super-narrow chiseled glass strips without breaking. The design itself was easy from there.

Traditional Stained Glass Oval Dome. There are no shape or configuration limitations with us. If the budget allows there would be layers, angles and dimension like never before.

Sculptural Stacked Chiseled Glass - Each of these panels are 12 feet wide and 3" thick, they weigh about 780lbs each. They are made up of ultra-clear chiseled glass strips 1/2" thick and 2 3/4" wide, layered and bonded with blue glass backing.

Chipped, Chiseled and Carved Glass - Shifting Minds - This shows how dimensional effects are pronounced with the use of glass coupled with technique in sculpture.

Fine Art Prints - Glass is a medium unlike any other. Brilliant, Bold and Beautiful are these dramatic images of artistic glass compositions.

Photo Realistic Etching - This is the finished image. Every detail seen in white was hand engraved to an exceptional level of detail. Call for more details.

Sculptured Mirrored Walls - A powerful element of this unique mirrored wall was the darker glass sections. They are custom made panels of mirror made dark with colored bonding adhesive and gold and silver leaf. Custom crystal glass shelves go over the dark areas. Call for finished images to be sent.

Dramatic Chiseled Glass Border Design - Custom Mirrors - The dazzling border to these mirrors are hand-chiseled crystal glass bonded to the mirror. The chiseled glass has a basket weave texture to it. The depth element of glass or optics are what makes these mirrors so stunning.

Custom Beveled Doors - This beautiful and elegant entry was revamped recently. The original entry had solid wood doors and only the decorative perimeter glass existing. We supplied our architect with new doors to suit his design along with full custom beveled and leaded glass to continue and complete the overall design.

Original Art Sculpture - A unique blue glass was the inspired element to this stacked glass styled work of art.

Deep Carved and Painted Table Design - The crisp clean cut lines of this retro styled top added to the beautiful paint pallet. Silver, gold and bronze auto lacquer. Each line curved or straight was hand cut and hand carved before it was painted.

Illuminated Crystal Glass Divider Panel - Low-Iron plate glass fins chiseled and bonded and retro-fitted with controllable high intensity LED's.

Clean Contemporary Leaded Glass Doors - This simple cool design of subtle textured clear glass was a super-elegant touch to this residence. Solid wood doors existed prior.

Carved Glass Bird Shower Panel - In process - We design, cut and carve everything by hand. Here shows a panel almost finished in our blast booth, just a few finishing details left.

We do love being given the artistic freedom of expression with our clients. Yes, we are usually prompted in a general direction, but it is left up to us to create the options. This was a fun and cool design chosen from the four or five we presented.

Organic Glass Wall - This massive glass wall is a feature in a dining room. It is all hand-chiseled 3/4" plate glass strips, all 1100lbs of it. The contrast is great with the large natural timber shelf.

Photo Engraving Revealed - The translucent print is being lifted to expose and show the magic of very intricate hand-cut and blasted details down to the strings of the guitar and their subtle shadows. Note the LED lights wrapping the edge of the glass which lights up the etched imagery. Exquisite detail.

New Contemporary Textured Glass Design - Unique and innovative cabinet door designs accentuating the element of 3-D dimension with glass. No description or details published.

More Super-Carved Glass - 3/4" thick glass carved to the max. Tropical Floral Design. Glass carving is a fairly common thing, carving it to these depths accurately are not so common.

Custom Engraved Glass Design - Tropical Shower Installation. Not recognizable in photo would be the beautifully carved and contoured edges to each feather, leaf and bird-of-paradise.

Dynamic Photo Representation - This image is one of our custom marine art commissions of a main salon window package engraving. These complete package installations include removal of existing standard glass. They include an entirely new set of custom glass panels integrated with lighting and controls if desired. The engraved or artistic panel of safety glass is the illuminated exterior panel with a black glass interior panel to be tinted as desired.

These are a set of one of our contemporary custom doors. Unique and handmade as all our other works, this design technique utilizes first a custom fade etching, from there we integrated a series of linear carved and shaded lines from both surfaces of the glass. This is something appreciated only in person touching the design.

"Etched Glass Entryway" Etched and Carved Marine Art - We can design any scenic art with any subject matter. From that design approval we will execute to perfected standards of quality of art, composition and overall design.

Traditional Techniques - We create glass in a manner consistent to the masters who came before us. Following we raise the bar whenever possible. Traditional Stained Glass Painting shown is done on a not too traditional surface. The Acanthus leaves shown here are stained glass itself, just pre-contour carved to extreme limits first. The weakened state of the thin glass re-strengthens itself in the annealing process.

Contemporary Illusion Panels. These are a few new concept panels playing on light refraction. Bold and stunning are the result, and each new work is it's own work of art. There is way more to come with this impressive style of sculptural art.

Our drive is to create art not reproduce it. Most of our work requested from our clients are given guidelines, but the design is conceived from our creative vision and each vision unique in of itself is based on the style of its eventual setting. A glass dome design in process.

Our Finished 10-Foot Stained Glass Dome. Still a few lighting adjustments to address, and we can and will do so. 10-Foot diameter dome with a 28" rise in center.

Filigree Carving - Deep carving beyond the surfaces. This is a whole new ball game. Breaking through the surfaces of glass in this way is incredibly risky. This is living on the edge for the creator, the fun, nail-biting and challenging part. A successful finished work of art of this caliber is fragile and collectible.

One of our unique glass wall art designs and installations. SkyFall a 190′ Trinity motor yacht was the setting for this unique chiseled and painted glass combination. Light dances creatively through the dimensional chiseled Starphire sections. Call for more details.

Free-form Carved Glass Sculpture. This creative glass sculpture was a one-of-a-kind trophy given to the Best-Of- Category in a fishing tournament. It grabbed a good amount of attention in the lineup. 3-D effects with the sailfish were optimized by layering, and setting it upon the chiseled glass stack of interest was a perfect finish.

Chiseled Glass - A most versatile medium, it is set as a dimensional wave panel here. This became a shipped section of a bar, the front vertical lit section.

Etched and Carved Glass - The subject matter can be anything in the world. The creativity of its display is the important part. A client wanted a jet of his memorialized, the photo given had it in the hanger. This was a cool view with the vapor trail in the background. Yes, of a rocket or shuttle.

Traditional Stained and Leaded Glass - This is a refined style with historic significance. Today's modern will have a hard time competing with the sustainability of classic architectural design. There is just not much to today's modern.

Stacked Chiseled Glass - This most unique creative technique used by us is a specialized technique we have mastered over the years. Anyone can stack and bond cut strips of glass together, the significance to the eye for us is how clean we can maintain the breaks from edge to edge. A few other significant details are the variety of breaks we can get and the narrowness of strip with each thickness.

Tropical Etched Design - The most common subject matter used in the business. To most, the details are irrelevant, to the one's with an eye for design, we are here. Our tropical engravings have life, movement and flow to their design. How we compose our design work on a door, window, shower or anything of need is significant and it is our most important element.

Details - The difference between the businesses and the difference between the creative artist interpreting it. Our passion may be unmatched in this business. The proof will be known from here in every finished work of art thay leaves this studio. Christopher Reisert - Artist / Visionary and owner of Reflective Collections, Inc.

Detail, Composition and Refined Quality,... it is our trademark and the profound difference in our work. This composition was not copied from an exact photograph, It was composed from multiple images for the horse and jockey, the rest was freehand artistic embellishment.

Above and below the waterline, what a cool way to utilize space. This unique perspective is pretty dramatic and done to the highest level of our expertise. The anatomy of all of our fish will always be done to perfect standards. We take a great deal of time in studying our subject matter before our etching even starts, it pays off here.

Organic Tumbled Glass Rock... These rocks have been saw cut and bonded to base glass. This technique was used in a large glass water feature. Use your imagination, glass columns, table bases, thick-chunk room dividers it is all possible. Wait to see this in floor to ceiling illuminated support columns.

If it is glass, it is our business. We creatively explore every option imaginable. It is a driving force and a deep passion of ours to push limits. Can you recognize a few elements we used in this photo? Many more to come.

This is our signature chiseled low-iron glass backed in matching low-iron mirror. This is over-the-top in many respects, challenge, skill, drama and effect. We are designing this unique feature as a wall application, a 19-Foot wide wall 10-Feet tall and curved. If approved this will be the most spectacular wall treatment we have ever done of its kind. Photos to follow soon.
