"source material" was crafted to reference how it feels to put my art online. Each vine is a touchpoint and each little floating flower a piece of my design losing its initial connection with the source (me). They are little pieces of my design brain being sent out to inspire others in their creations. 

This whimsical stained glass/mixed media beauty was crafted with inspiration from a flower cluster I drew out of my brain last year. I knew this flower needed a large canvas to shine, so I went for it! Clocking in at 125 pieces of glass, 6 quartz crystals, many wires and support and one gorgeous piece of hand-collected driftwood (phew, it's a lot!), this is the most elaborate glass wreath I've crafted. The support is 12" tall for reference.

HOW IT'S MADE:

Crafted using the traditional copper foil (Tiffany) stained glass technique where pieces of glass are broken, ground, covered with copper foil tape and soldered together. Buffed for maximum happy.

CARE FOR YOUR GLASS WREATH:

  • Wires may shift and can be gently bent back into shape as desired.
  • Your stained glass item is crafted with leaded solder and is intended for decoration only. No licking or sleeping with it under your pillow. Consider washing your hands after handling or before eating (y'know we all should be anyways!). The glass is still breakable, so take care.
  • Need a polish? Use your special included Glimpse Glass microfibre cloth to buff solder lines and remove fingerprints. 
  • I don't recommend exposing your glass items to weather. Everything is worn by weather, and this very fancy piece of glass is no exception.
