Welcome To Sand Man Studio

Here you will find the widest selection of stained glass mosaic crosses available. All are completely handmade and make a great gift for any special occasion or person (including yourself).

I have been involved in the stained glass craft for a number of years. I originally started in the more traditional copper foil method making window pieces and lamps. More recently, however, I switched to a method of combining stained glass with concrete to make mosaic-style crosses, stepping stones, tabletops and wall pieces. Because of their popularity I currently focus primarily on stained glass crosses, however, many of the designs can also be depicted on ceramic tile for wall hanging or stand alone display.

Take a look around and see what you think. If you have any comments, suggestions or questions regarding pricing and availability contact me at: tom@thesandmanstudio.com

Each piece is entirely hand-made by me. No saws, grinders or other electrical tools of any kind are used in the process. For work done in the mosaic style, stained glass is hand-cut and adhered to a concrete base. The bases are created by pouring a concrete product into a form. The piece is then grouted and cleaned and ready for display. Since only glass, concrete and grout are used, the item can be displayed indoors or out.

Since you are visiting this web site why not click on my podcast below to listen to the song "You Were Her Rock Too".  It is a tribute I wrote to my brother-in-law in thanks for all he did for my sister but It also has meaning for any loving person who has lost a partner.  The words are brought to life through the melody composed and sung by Ms. Geri Pieper.  The love story of Millie and Art - I hope it touches you.

You Were Her Rock Too (A Song For Art)

Though simply just a distant glance, you never had a doubt;                                                              That she would be the one for you or how it would work out.                                                                You were no more than a young boy, but you were sure, sure of what you knew;                                 That true love really does exist and dreams really do come true.

So you started on your journey, you had little more than hope;                                                           A tiny house your shelter, and two jobs to help you cope.                                                                        The family would grow quickly, five children born from love;                                                                You taught them the important things and what to be proud of.

Your love was the guiding force that brought safety to this place                                                        And changed a young girl in pigtails into a lady full of grace.                                                               You gave her all she needed, much more than you ever knew.                                                      You considered her your anchor, but you, you were her rock too.

Through many years together, two people became one;                                                                     And you showed the best example of how true love should be done.                                             When the bad news came you fought it with all your heart and soul;                                                  And her rescue from that evil became your only goal.

Your love was the guiding force that brought safety to this place                                                        And changed a young girl in pigtails into a lady full of grace.                                                               You gave her all she needed, much more than you ever knew.                                                           You considered her your anchor, but you, you were her rock too.

But sadly it was not to be, the time for her had come;                                                                          She left her mark on all of us, and better for it we’d become.                                                                   No doubt you miss her dearly now, your love for her still strong;                                                            Just know she found true happiness, with you she did belong.

Your love was the guiding force that brought safety to this place                                                        And changed a young girl in pigtails into a lady full of grace.                                                               You gave her all she needed, much more than you ever knew.                                                           You considered her your anchor, but you, you were her rock too.

You gave her all she needed, much more than you ever knew.                                                           You considered her your anchor, but you, you were her rock too.                                                         Yea, you were her rock too.
