Inspired by the many alliums that grow in my garden (I've been a bit creative with the colours!)
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 retro allium suncatcher. I've used tones of turquoise and blue in my fused glass suncatcher inspired by the alliums that grow in my garden. This looks lovely hanging in a window. Each hanging is completely unique and would make a lovely gift to give a bit of colour and cheer to a friend or loved one.
To make it, I used art glass and cut 2 pieces of transparent glass the same shape and size. I then hand cut very thin copper foil with a scalpel and added it to the art glass. I stencilled powdered glass onto the design, capped it with the second piece and placed it in the kiln to fuse slowly overnight. Once completely cooled, I then added coloured and dichroic glass dots and leaves which I have made previously to give some added interest and sparkle to the design. A second firing at a slightly lower temperature is done overnight the next day to tack fuse the dots onto the design, so that they stand proud of the glass, giving it a 3D effect. Finally, I drilled holes and added the hanging wire.
Comes ready to hang on a silver wire.
Size: 14.5cm x 7.5cm.
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.
