This is my second design featuring my 3D stained glass butterflies. Made using a pink and white streaky glass, the two butterflies look as if they are having a rest on some flowers on a warm sunny day. The flowers are made using a white and clear streaky glass and the yellow centre is made using a marigold frit, or crushed glass. The base is made of small circles of green glass and green glass gems.
This piece would make a perfect as a gift for a loved one's birthday, an anniversary, or as an impromptu gift for someone who loves butterflies.
Made using the Tiffany method each piece is individually hand cut and shaped, copper foil is applied to the edges and it is then constructed a section at a time and assembled to make the piece you see in the photos.
The piece measures approximately 25cm from top to bottom, the base is about 10cm by 6c
