Watermelon slice stained glass suncatcher
 
This mouth-watermelon-y piece was handmade by Tamara Goldsmith, in her Portland, OR, studio.
 
A lovely mix of textured red, white and green stained glass was used which glows beautifully in natural sunlight.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind due to the slight variation of colors inherent in art glass. Measures about 4" wide. It hangs from a blackened chain about 8 inches from the top.
Each piece is carefully wrapped to prevent breakage during domestic shipping.

 All work is designed, hand-cut, copper-foiled, hand-painted, and assembled with love and careful craftsmanship using the traditional Tiffany method.
Stained Glass, a technique relatively unchanged for hundreds of years, is the ancient art of assembling cut, mineral-infused, handmade art glass together with lead/tin seams. 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.
