    New English Springer Spaniel Letter Holders and Clock Designs

    This is a new design for Mungo Works: a letter holder in stained glass and wood. The bottom of the holder is wood with two grooves into which the stained glass fits snugly. Shown here are two versions of stained glass English Springers, one a black and white and one a liver and white. They measure 5 inches wide and approximately 5 inches tall.

    This stained glass English Springer Spaniel clock was a special commission, given as a gift for a birthday. The recipient is Irish, thus the shamrock appliqued to the side of the clock.

    Irish Setter Stained Glass Clock

    Yet another new addition to our stained glass dog breeds, an Irish Setter clock. This variation on the clock style seen in earlier designs has the Irish Setter’s head off to the side, creating a longer, lower base, with an Art Deco flavor. Earthy green and amber stained glass was used for the background to set off the mahogany colored glass of the Irish Setter’s head, an homage to its country of origin, Ireland. The base of this stained glass clock measures approximately 12 inches.

    Field Spaniel Stained Glass Votive Candle Holder

    This is a Field Spaniel in stained glass. Originally, this piece was made to be a votive candle holder, but other uses can be a catch-all for paper clips, rubber bands, pens, etc. Or, it can be used as a holder for a small potted plant such as an African violet. The base measures 4 inches square, the sides are 3 inches high, and the front is 4 inches high. Any dog breed can be depicted.

    ASC American Spaniel Club 2010 Trophies

    For American Spaniel Club’s Flushing Spaniels show in January of 2010, I kept with a theme for the trophies: Flushing Fields. The BOB, BOS, BOW, and First in Class prizes all had the flavor of the hunting Field Spaniel. Here, with the BOB and BOS prizes, a full body Field Spaniel and pheasant, just flushed.

    Chocolate Labrador Retriever Portrait

    This custom dog portrait is of Summer, a Chocolate Labrador Retriever. Dr. Ed Monroe from North Carolina found our website and commissioned me to do this portrait of his Lab for his wife’s Christmas present, as a surprise. Through email, I was provided with high quality photos of the dog. I emailed back a preliminary sketch to make sure I had the right look and with the okay from Dr. Monroe, I proceeded with the finish work. Now it is in the private collection of Dr. and Mrs. Ed Monroe.

    Flat Coated Retriever Portrait

    This custom dog portrait is of Tapas, a Flat Coated Retriever. It was done as a secret gift for a friend for Christmas of 2009, and is now in the home of Donna Bennett. Doing a portrait of a dog that I know can be difficult, as it can be harder to capture that essence I’m familiar with. The eyes are where the personality is and I believe I’ve captured Tapas’ happy-go-lucky yet sensitive nature.
