Stained Glass Wildflowers

These stained glass wildflowers are heirloom quality and don't require water to stay alive! Combine them into a bouquet or display them individually - either way the beauty of the coloured glass will shine into your home.

The "stem" of each piece is a bendable wire which can be gently manipulated to position the flower just right in a vase or as a plant stake.

The Process:
Each glass piece is hand cut to the proper shape. Using a glass grinder, the edges are ground down to be smooth. Next the glass pieces are foiled using adhesive copper foil. Once folied, the pieces are fitted together and soldered along every seam. The stained glass is now ready to be washed, brushed with steel wool and have a patina applied. The final step is brushing on a finishing compound that keeps the solder seams looking polished and shiny!

Care Instructions:
Clean by wiping down with microfiber cloth. Do not use chemicals to clean as it may affect the patina. Be careful not to scratch the seams as this can mark and affect the patina. The solder seams can be polished with a finishing compound or polishing wax. Make sure to test on a small area that is not very visible before doing the whole thing to ensure the best results. The wire stem of the flower can be gently bent but be careful not to bend by holding the glass flower.
