This is a stained glass suncatcher made using the Tiffany copper foil technique.

I designed this one to remind me of the summer sunshine when the duller days of autumn started to appear.

A wonderful bright yellow burst. A big splash of bright summer to hang in your window and remind you of the sun on the days when it is hiding.

At the centre is a big sun coloured red and yellow glass nugget which I made in my glass kiln from fusing glass with accents of sparkly dichroic glass. These nuggets are unique and unrepeatable as each turns out different.

The nugget is set inside a 16 segmented circle. I've used lots of different types of glass for these, textured and steaky. It has lots of movement and interest. I've also included a few hints of red to match the central nugget.

The circle is framed for strength and neatness with twisted wire.

This is 13cms in diameter and hangs from a little silvery chain which is securely attached to the top of the suncatcher.

it is would make a wonderfully bright addition to any room.
It is totally individual and I am really pleased with it. It looks equally good on the wall as in the window.

I never make two pieces exactly the same, I always use slightly different colours and textures of glass for each piece to ensure they are unique.

I can never make another just the same as this, as my dichroic nuggets are unrepeatable.

You can find several other colour variations as separate listings in my shop.
