ABOUT THE ART AND THE ARTISTS
    Our names are Pete and Kim Reker.  We met online in 2000, and married in September of 2002.    We have four children, ranging in ages from 24 to 16 years.  Their names are Tia, Melissa, Sarah and Colby, and we couldn't be more proud of them.  Our 3 girls have already graduated from college, Tia with a degree in early childhood education,  Melissa with a degree in corrections, and Sarah with a degree in social work.   Colby is our remaining child in high school, just beginning his junior year.  He is extremely artistic.  You can see one of his designs in the glass art on the miscellaneous pages.

     We found ourselves looking for a hobby to  pass the time during one long Canadian  winter.  It seemed the snow would never stop.  We were interested in stained glass design, but decided we were a bit too impatient for "the real thing".  We discovered the glass stains and simulated leading, and that is what you will find on these pages.  The result is very similar to real stained glass, and we were pleased with the outcome of our projects.  It is very difficult to photograph the designs, since any light whatsoever causes a glare.  I am very much into the fantasy and mythical theme, while my husband enjoys creating wildlife designs more.  We have recently branched out into other craftwork, and I have recently added pages for these designs.  I am trying my hand at tole painting and various glass designs, and Pete is working with copper and galvanized wire to create windchimes and hanging dragonflies. 

     We welcome your thoughts and comments, or any questions you might have.  We hope you enjoy your visit to our site!
