Puma Studios

Everything has arrived safely in Hawaii and the Stained Glass Studio is ready to operate again. We only take orders for custom stained glass pieces. We will do small to large. Our specialty is custom window pieces for china cabinets, kitchen cabinet doors, transom windows and entertainment cabinets. We will design for you working off your ideas or use a pattern you see somewhere else.

An example of a transom window can be seen in April 2008 at Hilo Art & Glass in downtown Hilo, HI, on the Big Island.

Brrrrr…. We had some freezing rain yesterday that did a good job coating the trees with ice.

The blueberry bushes in the front yard got a nice coating.

Look at those trees sparkle in the sun with all the ice! No wonder some parts lost power yesterday and today.

Our New Boston house is now for sale! A great tour and photos are available at the online listing.

A Big move is in progress! We’re leaving the New England countryside and heading for Hawaii. This is a shot of our new home in Ke`aau, HI (pronounced Kay-ow). Keaau is on the Island of Hawaii near Hilo. It’s the wet side of the Island about 90 minutes from Kona by car.

It’s been a logistical challenge to move a household and 5 cats to Hawaii. Hawaii is Rabies free so there is a quarantine process that the cats need to go through that includes a 120 wait following a rabies test. The good news is that Hawaii has introduced an airport release program that allows the wait to take place on the origin side so when we arrive in Honolulu we should be able to get the cats through quarantine on the same day for an inter-island flight.

Needless to say, we’re both anxious to get this move completed! Sharon will be officially moved the middle of January and I’ll be following up the middle of February. Our stuff should get there around the time I get there if all goes well. Of course it means that we will both be living in empty houses for about a month. Small price to pay for our slide of paradise.

We’re beginning to set up our internet shop for Watercolor Originals and Prints and Turned Wood Bowls, Bottle Stoppers and Pens. New items will continue to be added but once the watercolor prints are gone in a certain painting and size there won’t be anymore until Summer of 2008 or later. We’re moving our studio to Hawaii and setting up shop there. Our goal now is to reduce inventory so it doesn’t have to be shipped.

You can contact us for custom orders on pens or bottle stoppers. We will have quantity and style selections but the wood selection will be limited to what we have in stock.
