Description
size approx 8cm x 7cm
materials – recycled glass, copper foil, tin lead solder, Ribbon, glass nuggets and patina
Each glass piece is made by the Tiffany copper foil Technique. The glass is cut by hand, ground, edged with copper foil and soldered together. Patina is added to change the colour of the silver solder.
The handmade items due to the nature of the glass and the soldering process, may appear slightly different to the one pictured. These Foxes are made using iridescent, wispy and solid orange recycled glass.
There is lead content in the solder so please wash your hands after handling the piece, especially before handling food.
AFTER CARE
Although made from glass, these sun-catchers are relatively sturdy .. but don’t drop or bend them!
Over time the solder finish can lose its lustre, give this glass ornament a gentle wash using water and washing-up liquid, although I don’t recommend totally immersing them in water.
