Stained Glass Bat Mobiles
Under the Ann Richards Bridge, which divides North and South Congress Avenue in downtown Austin, lives a million + Mexican Freetail Bat colony . As this bat colony leaves their roost at dusk from the cracks under the bridge they spiral into the air over Lady Bird Lake to their final insect hunting grounds. These bat mobiles are representative of the Mexican Freetail bats as they spiral at dusk.

"Flora of Texas"

The work of Dr. Benjamin Carroll Tharp, the "Father of Texas Ecology", influenced the creation of the "Flora of Texas" stained glass lamp. This stained glass piece reflects the abundant flowers of Texas.
"Lake Bastrop"

Representing Lake Bastrop in the Lost Pines State Park ,Texas. this contiguous landscape encompasses the stained glass lamp.
Randall's Studio stained glass box lamps are created using the Tiffany (copper foil) technique for greater detail and control of color. The "puddling" solder style adds texture and strength to the lamp joints. The four sides and top provide the opportunity to design individual scenes or a complex landscape encompassing the entire piece.
The use of LED strip lighting to illuminate the lamp adds greater control of light color and intensity. The remote controlled LED can also cycle through pre-programmed effect modes.
"West Texas Centurions"
Stained glass box lamp -
Inspired by the Agave Americanus or Century plant common to the Texas hill country this landscape piece illustrates fauna as well as flora. The roadrunner, horned lizard, and jack rabbit are settled in the cactus, rolling hills and table top mesas of the country.
