Spectra sundials making shadows and prism beams
 
 
Occasionally we hear back from people who have been pleased by our work. Here are some of the inspired comments that we
have been receiving about the Spectra Sundial.
 
 
Macomb Eagle - Eunice Hutson "The sun's long golden fingers fondle the intricate sundial sitting on the windowsill. Their love affair produces a spectacular radiant rainbow. The first time I witnessed this rainbow, I gasped. My breath was literally taken away in a moment of utter amazement at such beauty...the colors burst with intensity as the sun meets with the work of art. It is a masterpiece. Check out www.artisanindustrials.com and let me know what you think."

"I ordered a Spectra sundial from Artisan Industrials and it is very nice. Classically elegant and precise, custom made with my location printed right on it. It throws a lovely rainbow whenever we can get the sun to co-operate. Very good quality, hand crafted, professional. Sits perfectly in my South facing window, and I am surely the only kid on my block to have one."
Dawn, Ohio
 
 
"The quality and workmanship of the Spectra Sundial was as advertised. Great care had been taken to make sure the dial came out flawless. Jim kept me posted of the different stages, as the sundial was being constructed, which almost made me feel like I was part of its creation. The Spectra Sundial should be part of everyone's family, and will be enjoyed and admired by all."

"I am happy to tell you that my Spectra sundial has arrived this morning - and I am delighted with it - I am like a child at Christmas. I am particularly pleased that it arrived before the Winter Solstice.
I put the Spectra in the sitting room window where I had taken
the original measurements - It was spot on. The time was exact."
Pat, Northern Ireland
 
 
"I received my Spectra today and it is really wonderful. Clearly you put a lot of work into it, and thought alot about the details. I like the sandblasted gnomon, and the way it is attached. I noticed how one edge rides on the equinox line, so it can be used to follow the declination of the sun. The base is handsome. It fits nicely in our sunroom, and I hope it will be a talking point for our guests.
It is everything I hoped it would be, and more."
Bill, Vermont
 
 
"A wonderful idea! I ordered a Spectra sundial as an anniversary gift for my wife, and had them include a special date line for our special day...and the shadow actually did hit the line on our anniversary! My wife thought I was so clever :-)"
Jack, Florida
 
 
"The Spectra is way cool!
I have never seen anything like it. Nicely done."
Doug, Wisconsin
 
 
"The dial looks very handsome...something beautiful and out of the ordinary. The spectrum line is a knockout! My Spectra will always be one of my most treasured possessions. You have made a
family heirloom which will be passed down and probably
fought over long after I am gone I think."
Tony, England
 
 
"The Spectra sundial is truly a work of art. It is well made, solid as a rock, and elegant with its cut glass edges. It is perfectly calculated to tell my local time and I look forward to watching the shadow progress down the dial throughout the coming year."
Steve, New Hampshire
 
 
"When I first came across the Artisan Industrials web page, I was impressed with the quality, character and inspirational content of the site. As I read about the Spectra Sundial, I knew this beautifully crafted sundial would be the perfect gift for a friend of mine.
I asked the artist and designer, Jim Tallman, to inscribe the sundial with the well-loved line of a poem. He was considerate of my request and continued to be wonderful throughout the process, keeping me informed of progress on the project and notifying me on the day the package was shipped. Upon receiving the sundial, my friend was exceptionally pleased with the unique gift.
My thanks to Jim Tallman and Artisan Industrials for creating a product of such lasting beauty and elegance."
Kathleen, Indiana
 
 
"After searching for the 'perfect' gift to present our teacher, the students of the Kripalu Teacher Training found the site for the Spectra Sundial and we knew that our search ended there.
Working with the artist Jim Tallman was an exceptional experience. He kept in communication throughout the creation of the Spectra and shipped it to us in a timely manner. Its simple elegance combined with the scientific complexities and the love it was created with made the Spectra Sundial the perfect gift for our teacher.
He said that his yoga center has the perfect exposure for its display of prisms.....imagine what an inspiring yoga class that will be!!
Thank you Jim for your contribution in making
our graduation a truly spectacular occasion!"
