This beautiful copper-foiled stained glass crescent mooncatcher was handmade by Tamara Goldsmith in her Portland, OR studio. The Metallic Silvered Crinkle Glass is an unusual glass, which is highly reflective and not meant for a window, but rather as a wall-piece. The moon is not transparent, and not two-sided, and a small crystal bead on top sparkles in direct sunlight.
The stars are hand-painted with silver Pebeo Vitrea permanent glass paint, and are constructed using a solid lead came edge soldered onto copper foil tape underneath came for extra sturdiness, thus the edge will not pull away over time.
Hangs from the top with a black chain.
Measures about 1.5" wide, 6" tall and hangs from the top of the chain to the bottom; about 12" in total.
60/40 lead/tin solder was used and the border is lead came.
Lead is not dangerous to have in your home in an art-piece like this unless sanded, causing lead-dust to be airborne and inhaled or somehow ingested. However, it is always a good idea to wash your hands well after cleaning or handling the piece.
