Happy Heart Shaped Snake, Stained Glass Window
This beautiful copper-foiled stained glass window was handmade by me, Tamara Goldsmith in my Portland, OR studio for Redux Collective. A lavender glass was used for the bulk of the snake, with yellow and mustard opaque for some details. I also enjoyed doing some of the painting in gold, white and purple along the body to add some detail.
The piece will be carefully wrapped to prevent breakage during domestic shipping.
It hangs from a black chain about 5 inches from the top and the piece itself is about 12” in diameter.
 
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 or 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.
