About Ten2Midnight Studios

At Ten2Midnight Studios, our mission is simple: to bring more warmth, joy & personal connection into the world. Each piece we create is a thoughtful blend of natural wood and vibrant stained glass, designed to brighten a window, a desktop, or any small corner that could use a touch of light and color.

We believe that art should be personal and heartfelt. That's why our products are more than just décor—they are a beautiful and unique solution for finding a truly special gift for someone you love, or a meaningful piece to bring a little more light into your own life.

It all started with a simple need to add more color and joy to my own space.

I began creating these stained glass and wood suncatchers to catch the sunlight.

The way the colors lit up my windows brought an incredible sense of warmth and happiness.

This feeling was too good not to share, and it sparked the handcrafted products in my line.

Liane Crigler | Founder

Liane began her career in the LA apparel industry. It wasn't long before she realized her true calling lay elsewhere. In the mid 1990’s, she cast aside the glamorous LA fashion scene to pursue a degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in metalsmithing.

The years after college were spent earning a steady paycheck & starting a family. After a seven year hiatus from her art, she returned to the studio renewed and ready to express her own voice & vision.

Xian Crigler | "The Fixer"

(and all-around handy guy)

Xian has always been involved behind the scenes of Ten2Midnight. But as the popularity of our suncatchers increased, so did his prescence in the studio. He not only cuts all the glass, but he maintains the laser, seals the wood, troubleshoots production & a million other things.

He also holds a degree in Studio Art and has experimented with a variety of mediums.

Why the name Ten2Midnight?

After the birth of our 2nd child, my husband, Xian, took a swing shift position with his company so we could save on daycare costs while I worked full time during the day.

Once I put the kids to bed and finished household chores, I would settle in for some "me" time. I began making jewelry again. Starting around 10pm, and ending at midnight, when Xian would come home.

One night however, he was home unexpectedly, but I still was drawn to my studio to work. He jokingly said - "Oh, is it time for Ten to Midnight Studios to open up shop?"

Yes, it was time. And the name stuck from then on...
