I designed this for a commission. The first musical instrument I had made so a nice challenge. I was so very pleased with the result that I immediately made another.
I've also made several cello versions of this. Same design but with a spike instead of a chin rest. Anatomically both instruments have identical dimensions.

Full description
This is a stained glass suncatcher made using the Tiffany copper foil technique.
A violin in lovely shades and textures of purple glass.
I've used a slighly deeper purple for the finger board, tail piece to give it more shine, I've made the pegs from millefiori purple beads and the 4 wires go down from the pegs, over the bridge (a silver Tibetan bead) to the tail piece. I've used a dichroic glass nugget I fused in my kiln as the scroll at the end of the neck.
It's 16 cm tall and 6.5 cm wide.
I drew the design by tracing an illustration of a violin so it is a reasonably accurate shape and size wise and the proportions should be reasonably correct..
I do happen to know how a violin fits together as I used to play one.
It looks really lovely hanging in the window where it catches the light. The suncatcher hangs from a silver chain which is securely attached in 2 places to the violin via soldered wire rings.
This item is absolutely unique. I never make two pieces exactly the same, I always use slightly different colours and textures of glass.
