Beach Hut Picture Stained Glass Art By the Sea Suncatcher Handmade

A very special design, a stained glass picture entirely handmade using the Tiffany copper foil technique. It is a 'picture' of three bright, cheerful beach huts on a golden sandy beach by a shimmering turquoise sea. It comprises 50 pieces of glass, all individually cut, ground, shaped, copper foiled then fitted in place like a jigsaw and soldered together. I've used some lovely textured glass to give it movement and the sea is all textured and some iridescent glass to make it shimmer. I love making this piece. It is great fun, also a challenge and a great sense of achievement when it's all fitted together. It is designed to hang as a suncatcher in the window where it will catch the light and reflect its colours but also looks great on the wall as a picture. This is 8" square and is framed with twisted wire to give strength / neatness. It hangs from a strong silvery chain attached securely to either side of the top. I recommend that this, to be safe, needs to hang from a proper hook rather than suction hooks as it is quite heavy at 350g. This item is absolutely unique. I never make two pieces exactly the same, I always use slightly different shades and textures of glass. The last photo shows 9 previous versions so you can see the difference. This is one of the most complex pieces I make. I designed this for a commission for a customer who had moved to the seaside. I made this one today as I enjoy the finished piece so very much and the challenge in making it. I post this first class tracked 24
