Instead of paints, shards of glass comprise these artists' work palettes and sunlight provides the highlights. The process includes drafting a detailed design, cutting each individual piece of glass and assembling the pieces - similar simi-lar to piecing together a giant puzzle. Many of their handcrafted, glass puzzles can be found locally including American Fork Library, Orem Library, Thanksgiving Point, Gary Price Studios in SpringvUle and various homes through Utah County. However, the highlight of their work has involved designs for three temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Holdman designed stained glass windows win-dows featured on the exterior of the Winter Quarters Temple, Tem-ple, in Nebraska, and exterior windows on the Palmyra Temple, in New York. One of the Palmyra windows, win-dows, depicting Joseph Smith in the Sacred Grove, graced the cover of the April 2002 issue of Ensign Magazine, published by the LDS Church. Holdman's latest creations now adorn the newest temple in Nauvoo, Illinois. Created out of hand-blown, hand-blown, antique glass from France and Germany, a sky- V v,, it -. " .

The window in the baptistry bap-tistry appropriately illustrates illus-trates the scene of Jesus' baptism bap-tism by John the Baptist in the waters of the Jordan River. The baptistry window is surrounded by an intricate genealogy-themed border. "All the links are continuous to symbolize genealogy and prosperity," said Tiffany. Tom began sketching the baptistry mural in April 2001. Less than a year later, in March 2002, he installed his finished creation. In its final stages, Tom put in more than 100 hours every week. Ann and Floyd Holdman raised eight children in their home in Orem. Tom is number num-ber four, Tiffany is number six and Treavor is the seventh. Tom, 32, began crafting stained-glass artwork as a self-taught artist more than 12 years ago. His workshop is located behind his home, where he lives with his wife, Gayle, and his children, TJ. and Victoria. Treavor, 20, lives in Orem and has been working under his older brother's watchful eye for more than four years. Tiffany, 24, joined as an apprentice more than three years ago. She and her husband, hus-band, Phil, have lived in Eagle Mountain for almost two years. Tiffany claims her hands have calloused over the years from working with the sharp glass. "After awhile your hands get tougher and they don't get cut as much," she said. "The hardest part is meeting meet-ing Tom's deadlines," said; Tiffany. "It is also challenging to pick out the right colors." n' J; Photos by Debra Hart The Holdman siblings; Tiffany Hubert, Tom and Treavor, display a set of windows designed for Thanksgiving Point. Tom agrees, the hardest part is meeting deadlines. "With artwork, you are never finished. You just always want to add more and make it better," said Tom, "until you just run out of time." Tiffany's favorite part is "seeing it installed and in place." They usually work on a project in sections and don't see it all together until it is completed. "It is neat to see it all together," she said. "My favorite part is holding hold-ing it up to the light for the first time," said Tom. 'To see the light take hold of it and see it come alive."
