Hex Faceted Stained Glass Suncatchers Confetti & Iridescent Glass
This gorgeous one-of-a-kind piece of stained glass was made by a Portland-based artist, Tamara Goldsmith.
This piece utilizes a multitude of different colors and textures of amber-colored glass, two glass crystal gemstone drops and a Brass Ring. This handmade, one-of-a-kind piece is a lovely ode to bees, and the mathematical symmetry of their honeycomb home, celebrated within the rich, vibrant medium of stained glass.
Measures about 9" across and about 22" long from the top of the chain to the bottom of the lowest crystal.
The solder lines on this piece have been given a black patina, and are waxed for a protective, shiny surface. 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.
