Fused-Glass Heart Suncatcher - 521x
Product Details
I make each of these little hearts by hand, cutting shaping and layering coloured glass pieces and then fusing (=melting) them together in my kiln - at temperatures approaching 800c in a process that takes 7 hours from start to finish.
After the hearts have fused, I use a diamond-drill to make the hole, apply the celtic design and fire-polish each heart for another 7 hours in the kiln. The design becomes permanantly fused into the glass.
During the fusing process, small bubbles may form between the layers. This adds character to the piece - and shows that it is handmade, not mass-produced.
Each heart is finished with a short coloured silky hanging cord (colours vary - please email if you would like a specific colour for your heart)
We usually have these hearts in stock ready for despatch, but, just in case, please allow at least one week for us to make your heart.
Measures about 2 1/4" inches tall - supplied in organza gift-pouch with short silky cord hanger and swingtag, hang from the window-frame with a thin thread or fishing line.
Suitable for indoor or outdoor use - if hung outdoors please ensure that the suncatcher cannot knock against anything. Handmade in West Cork.

Welcome to Inspired-glass and Chris's Cards. We're a husband and wife team (Adrian and Chris), making stained-glass, fused glass and handmade greetings cards, from our studios near Ballydehob, in Sunny West Cork. Adrian's stained-glass work (usually larger commissions) is made using traditional lead or 'Tiffany' copper-foil techniques - and I also do repairs to stained-glass items (anything from tiny suncatchers, through stained-glass lampshades up to larger door and window panels) The fused-glass (mostly dichroic jewellery and a range of suncatchers) is hand-made, and the fired in my own-built computer-controlled kiln - to create unique pieces of glass art. Thanks for visiting - hope to see you again soon Adrian & Chris
