Hello there, Tim here.
Every lamp you buy, and every donation you make, goes 100% straight into keeping the shelter alive.
I don’t take a wage, never have.
The money pays for food, vet bills, medicines, heating, and keeping the doors open another week.
Without the sales from these lamps, we simply wouldn’t make it and right now we arn't looking good. At this rate we have a couple weeks before we will have to close down.

I’ve been cutting and soldering little pieces of coloured glass for close to fifty years now. It’s something I’ve always loved. When I first started this project, I hoped to make every one of these animal lamps by hand the slow way my old teacher showed me cutting the shards, foiling them, soldering them together, and watching the light settle into each shape with its own little spirit.
These days, though, my hands aren’t quite what they used to be, and each lamp would take me nearly a week to finish. With my wife and I struggling to keep our little dog shelter running, I simply couldn’t make them fast enough on my own no matter how hard I tried.
So to keep the shelter alive and make sure no order waits too long, we’ve partnered with a small fulfilment team overseas who help us create and send out the lamps on our behalf. It lets us keep things going here at home, and it means every bit of profit can still go straight into feeding and caring for the dogs who haven’t had much luck elsewhere.
Please don’t feel any pressure, but if you do choose to bring one of these little glass creatures home, just know it helps us keep the doors open a little longer. It means more than I can put into words.
Material:
Coloured glass with copper foil and soldered framing
Size:
19 × 16 × 18 cm
I still check every order myself before it goes out, hoping it reaches you warm and glowing, ready for a good home.
I do my best to get every order on its way as quickly as these old hands allow. With the help of a fulfilment partner, most lamps reach folks in about 6 to 8 days.
Each one is packed with care so it arrives safely at your door, just the way it left my workbench.
Thank you kindly for your patience — it means more to me, and to our shelter dogs, than I can say.
