Suncatchers

Suncatchers

Suncatchers come in all shapes and sizes.  So whether it is a small bird or a window panel if light shines through it’s a suncatcher.  Suncatchers can be purchased in all sizes as well as traditional subjects or abstract panels.

Suncatchers Pre-cut Kits


As easy as suncatchers can be purchased, you can also create your own by purchasing a suncatcher pre-cut kit.  If you want to go even further rather than purchasing a suncatcher pre-cut kit just buy the glass and make your own.  You can find many free patterns as well to start your next suncatcher.

Make Your Own

I love to incorporate other medium making my suncatchers originals like more of a collage.  But you can have fun with mosaic.

Finished Suncatchers

The finished product is always the most interesting, as much as a project can end up like what you had in mind it can take a turn.  If your glass breaks in two you may have to start over why not add a new seam that is not in the original pattern, making your suncatcher unique.  Try this with your next suncatchers add different dimensions.  If your project has a fish make the fin on an angle and solder it that way.  People will just think you’re a genius.

The best thing about suncatchers is the sunlight going through your glass giving it a magical quality.

Mosaics

The beautiful art of stained glass has been around for centuries. One thing it’s not is new but what is new are the pre-cut kits and the way you can do mosaics. Now a days, artist are using glass in many different context and are using a more modern free spirit direction with the art of stained glass. We are using more glues and concretes to assemble projects now.

To modernize my stained glass I’ve added shells and pictures to give it more personality. I found that using different mediums in your stained glass or suncatcher gives it a new abstract look. As an artist one must never be restrained in their form of art.

Stained glass, which was once for church windows, is now used for fun decoration in gardens and windows.
When I recommend stained glass for windows it’s not just for beauty but also for privacy. And that is where my wacky and wild side of the art comes out. I’ve added many little nick knacks in my windows like chains and shells, jewelery and rocks. In my world of wild and wacky stained glass art, anything goes.
