Description A stained glass Phoenix suncatcher. Like all my suncatchers, handmade with love and designed to hang in the window and catch the light. The Phoenix bird is cut from several different types and texture of red and amber shades of glass. The flames below are shades of yellow and the surround is pretty clear glass. There are 41 pieces of glass in this piece, each one individually cut, shaped and copper foiled and then soldered together. I have framed the outer edge with twisted wire for neatness and strength. I then solder on little wire rings for hanging. The suncatcher hangs from a little silver chain which is securely attached to the wire rings at the top. I always supply a strong suction hook so it comes ready for you to hang. I attach the chain using split rings so you can replace it, maybe with a ribbon, quite easily. It is 15 cm in diameter, excluding the length of the chain. Please note that no two of my suncatchers are ever the same even to the same design. I deliberately don’t keep a record of the types of glass used so it is pretty impossible for me to make an exact match and that is my intention. I like all my pieces to be unique and I always use different combinations of glass. Phoenix = (in classical mythology a unique bird that lived for five or six centuries in the Arabian desert, after this time burning itself on a funeral pyre and rising from the ashes with renewed youth to live through another cycle). Posted out Royal Mail Tracked 24, with lots of padding to keep it safe on its journey to you.
