Hi,
Celebrate those dearest to you with these elegant 100% recycled glass globes, handmade in Canada by Stephen Kitras and featuring an interior glass trunk that branches out to support vibrant splashes of color. Each globe is made from shards of glass used for car, home, and office windows. The shards are melted down in a furnace before being blown into beautiful works of art that have come to symbolize family, friendship, and the bonds that bring you together.
Tree of Family: Like the roots of a tree, family gives us the support and love to keep growing no matter how far we branch out as individuals.
Tree of Friendship: Like leaves on a tree, our life is brightened by friends who help define us as the individuals we are. The Tree of Friendship reminds us to cherish each of our friends, the old and the new, as each one adds a unique leaf to our tree of life.
Tree of Sisters: Whether she's your sibling or your closest friend, she nurtures you, supports you, laughs, and grows with you.
Tree of Motherhood: A celebration of mothers and the important role they play supporting us through the journey of life.
Tree of Fatherhood: A celebration of fathers and the important role they play guiding us through the journey of life.
Tree of Brothers: Whether he's your sibling or your wingman, he supports you, laughs, and grows with you.
Sold individually. Not intended as a tree ornament.
Use your own sturdy wire, fishing wire, or ribbon to hang the globe from the display stand or elsewhere.
We visited Stephen Kitras's glassblowing studio in Fergus, Ontario, and made a glass globe of our very own. Visit our blog for the inside scoop.

“Why glass? Compared to other media I've worked in, such as iron and ceramic, glass is immediate and responds right away to any design decisions that I make.”
The mantra "when surrounded by beauty, the spirit is uplifted" embodies the mission of Kitras Art Glass. Stephen Kitras began work as a glassblower in 1988, and in 1994 he formed Kitras Art Glass with his wife and partner Elke. By 2001 the company had expanded to over 40 employees and a new facility was built to accommodate the increased production demands.
Sadly, the company suffered the loss of Elke Kitras to leukemia, but the vision that she and Stephen developed for the company continues to thrive. It is Stephen's goal is to design and produce beautiful and affordable glass art objects to enhance the lives of others.

I have purchased three of these to give as gifts. One as a wedding gift, one as a 'thank you for being there for me' gift, and one for a gift for our midwife, who has delivered all 6 of our babies. Each recipient has been in awe, and absolutely loved the globe. One of the recipients' husband stated that he'd like to collect them all. Great idea! I wouldn't probably take it bowling, but I wouldn't probably go bowling anyway. These are just breathtaking, and such a wonderful, relatively inexpensive way to show appreciation and love.

When I ordered the product I didn't see a stand to purchase. Maybe I missed it. I looked everywhere and it is much to heavy to hang on an ordinary ornament stand. I ended up findig a small stand it could sit on. I think it is beautiful and a beautiful "family" message but it was much larger than I had thought. My mother in law liked it - or seemed to anyway.

I adore these; I have 5 of them. They make me so happy and positive and help me and others smile.
Yours are more attractive and interesting with the cool blends of color inside. It is great that you recycle
Them. Your unique sayings inside are more special and the "Sisters" one really moved my sweet grieving
Sister in law who suddenly lost her husband, my close big brother, Greg. Thank you So much . Please keep them coming.

Purchased the "Family" version. Well made with nice weight. Lovely to look at, colors are clean and vibrant. Recommend using a good stand with a heavy base or hook with a deep loop for security with 1/2" to 3/4" ribbon. Would be great either indoors or out. Place slightly above eye level from intended viewing location(s) to better see the tree inside. If using outdoors, suggest placing in an area protected from breezes and use a good flexible galvanized steel wire (with or without ribbon).
Despite reading the description, the 6" diameter globe still surprised me with its overall size. Definitely NOT a tree ornament, with glass ball is about the size of a pee-wee (size 1) soccer ball; not as large as a garden gazing ball, but similar enough to visualize the overall impact.
