This pretty cyclamen sun catcher brings Spring into any room and has been handmade by Cricklade Glass. A lovely cheering gift to yourself or someone special. Free UK 1st class post included in the price.
Each petal, leaf and stem starts off as glass powder (see photo in gallery - similar look to talculm powder!) which is shaped and then fired in the kiln before tidying. The delicate fired pieces are then arranged on a base circle of glass and fired for a second time to securely fuse the arrangement to the base. The fired sun catcher is then hand finished and a pale pink hanging ribbon added.
The end result is a lifelike piece of art - but unlike real cyclamens, yours will not need watering and the colurs will not fade!
The sun catchers are c10cm in diameter and c3mm thick. They are wrapped in tissue paper and protective recycled cardboard for posting in a cardboard postage box. The photos shown here are examples - due to the nature of the process, each sun catcher will be a unique handmade piece of glass art.
