Stained glass windows and suncatchers made by hand cutting glass, applying copper foil, soldering, and leading. Choosing vibrant colors and textures of glass, these pieces allow one to enjoy in their home the beauty of glass and elements of nature such as flowers in bloom all year long . Many are made with one of a kind glass, so each are unique; no two are exactly alike.

- poured into 4oz mason jars with lids - each candle scent is identified and each candle has a label containing the safety rules for safe candle use - dried substances are also poured into the candle for aesthetic purposes (ex. if it is a lavender scented candle, then dried lavender is poured into the candle wax) |

I have a wide variety of different techniques I use on different forms of art. My main areas are wood working, acrylic pour, and resin. In wood working I specialize in custom wood burned portraits with laser engraving as well as building shelving and tables. When painting I enjoy working with fluid art on canvas or wood and combining with resin to give my art work a high quality finish. I apply these abstract techniques to coasters, serving trays, canvas and even some table tops. My work has a unique twist because no painting I do is identical to another one due to the methods I use. I enjoy combining these different forms of art to create one of a kind pieces.

Handmade stained glass windchimes in various colors. They are approximately 8" wide & 20" - 30" long. The length depends on the number of tiers. Two tier have 12 chimes & three tier have 18-20 chimes. Quality beads & glass are used with nylon coated stainless steel wire to assemble so it will not rust. They make a light musical sound. The sun shining through the stained glass chimes makes shadows on the ground that both beautiful and calming. They look fragile but can ably withstand moderate outside wind. Our customers buy to both place inside or outside.

I make wooden toys primarily consisting of 4 types of wood and some pvc pipe. The woods are yellow and white pine , baltic birch plywood and sandeply. Most of the patterns I use are ones made by me and my family, we have been making toys and doing arts and crafts shows for 47 years. we take the wood in various conditions ( width , thicknesses, and types) we cut to size to make the particular toy , then using different saws we cut it out , drill holes route the edges sand then assemble . also thats the same process with some of the pvc we use . I make over 65 different toys and many have there own specific process. After assembly some are painted or dyed ,but most are left natural p, placed in boxes and stored.

I make all-natural Goats milk artisan soap. I don't use any unnecessary chemicals such as Phthalates, titanium dioxide, micas, or pigments that can cause harm to your skin. Instead of using goat's milk powder purchased from a store, I have my own Mini Nubian milking goats to provide the best quality possible. I really love making soap and trying new designs and making things that can help people stay happy and healthy.

Down South Shabby offers had painted art /home decor featuring angels, churches, crosses and floral using acrylic paints, plaster & caulk to create texture & depth on a variety of wood, including salvaged wood ~ barn & pallet wood. My favorite wood to paint on is chippy, old wood because of it's character and age-old texture. Repurposed wood such as salvaged chair & fence spindles are used to make angels, wreath holder and/or spindle stand farmhouse decor. Copper wire, yarn, upholstery tacks and cabinet knobs are used also for creating a mixed media effect and/or for embellishing the items. I love the excitement of making something new and decorative from salvaged items. Lanterns are made from using salvaged plant stakes and dry brushed with latex paint or their natural color.

We take discarded fabrics to create new creations for the home and individual. The hand made items are one-of-a-kind creations that are unique in their design. Because our fabrics are donated, we are able to teach women the skill of sewing. Each item we create is created by several women in our shop. It takes many hands to make one item special. We feature hand braided rugs, Bible covers, bags, hand turned bowls, up cycled pillows, aprons from vintage linens, and tea towels.
