Inspired by the 2 huge ferns that I'm lucky enough to have in my garden.
I’ve been working with glass for over 20 years. Ever since I first picked up my chosen glass and glass cutter, I’ve been hooked. I am fascinated by the properties of glass, the array or colours and the processes that that can be used to create different effects. There is always something new to learn and new tools and materials to invest in. It really is addictive!
What I especially love about working with glass are the colours. From crystal clear to shimmery dichroic to opaque pure blocks of colour that will never fade or dull.
I hope I’ve made you curious about the wonderful world of glass too!

Full description
Fused glass hanging suncatcher, inspired by the amazing unfurling of new fern fronds in the Springtime. This suncatcher looks beautiful when hung in a window or against a plain wall. A beautiful gift for a friend or relative who loves nature.
To make it, I start by using a very fine scalpel and hand cut a swirl shape from thin copper foil. I then cut transparent cut art glass into 2 ellipse shapes and sandwich the copper swirl in between the ellipses. I then fused it slowly overnight in my kiln. In the heat of the kiln, the copper foil turns into a lovely rich red colour. Next I cut and shaped leaf shapes from a variety of transparent and opaque green glass and placed them on to the design. The whole piece went back into the kiln a second time at a lower temperature so the leaves remain slightly 3 dimensional. When completely cooled, I drilled the tiny hole and added a hanging wire.
Comes ready to hang on a silver wire.
Item comes securely packaged and wrapped in my signature turquoise tissue paper, sticker and string. A gift message can be included, just contact me to let me know.
Size 16cm x 9.5cm.
