Description
A stained glass bee, butterfly or dragonfly suncatcher.
Like all my suncatchers, handmade with love and designed to hang in the window and catch the light.
The bee, a queen by its size, is 12cm x 11cm. This is £13 and the system will calculate the correct price if you add it to your basket.
The wings are textured iridescent and I’ve superimposed the lower wings to give a bit of a 3-dimensional effect. The big yellow head is a golden glass nugget fused in my kiln and the eyes little millefiori beads. I think this is a bead-eyed bee. a rare variety not often seen in Britain.
The dragonfly is a rare variety of Bead-Tailed with pretty beads for eyes, a glass nugget for body and the tail, slightly flexible with 4 pretty beads threaded onto wire. It is 10cm x 10cm and £11.50. I make this in green, blue, red or turquoise.
The butterfly is equally pretty with a bead for a head and each made from 4 different types of glass. It is 11cm in diameter, £10
The butterfly and dragonfly both come in a choice of colours and have curly hair to make them a little quirky but also to provide a very secure hanging point.
Each piece of glass is individually cut, shaped then carefully wrapped in copper foil before all the pieces are soldered together to form the full suncatcher.
The suncatchers hangs from a little silver chain which is securely attached to the top. I always supply a suction hook so it comes ready for you to hang. I attach the chain using split rings so you can if you prefer replace it, maybe with a ribbon, quite easily.
Each of my suncatchers is unique. I deliberately make them using different combinations of glass to ensure that.
Please note I only have one of each colour of dragonfly or butterfly but if you did want more than one of the same colour or even a different colour please contact me first and I will try to make another for you.
Posted out Royal Mail first class in a strong and innovative box with lots of padding to keep it safe on its journey to you.
