Birthstone Butterfly Suncatcher Stained Glass Garnet January

Shared by joysofglass in the Glass Crafts


Product Description:

A stained glass suncatcher made using the Tiffany copper foil technique.

A butterfly made from iridised deep red glass, garnet being the UK birthstone colour for January. The other sections of the butterfly are iridised textured clear glass to give it extra shimmer.

I've made the littlegarnet coloured head in my hotpot kiln and added tiny dichroic chips for eyes.

I'm really pleased with this new 2014 design of butterfly and also with the idea of making one for each month / birthstone.
